It looks like crap I know, but I don't care...

SHADOVV · March 28th, 2008

The Captain · March 28th, 2008

Is that just concept art, or from a remake of Super Metroid?

SHADOVV · March 29th, 2008

woot~! I'm honored XD

Here's mine in duo monitor mode XD

cottonvibes · April 1st, 2008

heh, Fadingz does his own wallpaper lol

for a second there i thought you were on a super-widescreen monitor, and i was like 'wft, what resolution is that'

Fadingz · April 1st, 2008

XD it's 2960*1050 LOL
well, I'm going to have 1 screen taken away from me this weekend, and probably my diNovo keyboard T.T, and my PSU, and my fan, and everything!
(well, I'll see them again the beginning of summer XD)
they are going to be home while I'm still in school T^T, since I don't think my dad's car can fit 3 desktops...(including 1 of my sister)
It sucks so much that New Jersey requires tax... =_=
I'm forced to send the all of the packages to my university to avoid like $400 of tax...

cottonvibes · April 1st, 2008

yeah i hate tax.
when i look for PC parts, i always try and find a website that won't tax me.
clubit.com and newegg.com don't tax me. i've saved $100s using them instead of TigerDirect.com which taxes me.

edit:
just realized this post was completely off topic.

Fadingz desktop Rulez! (thats more on-topic)

Nice theme!

If I remember right, I've never posted any desktop pictures to this thread, so it's the first time. Here is my current WinXP and Ubuntu desktops:

Omegainf · April 4th, 2008

Nice!

I'm a big fan of clean desktops without icons!

SCHUMI-4-EVA · April 5th, 2008

I try and only keep 1 column of icons on my desktop...2 columns if I absolutely must, but I try to keep it to one as much as I can, I would say that's still fairly clean.

ChaosBlade · April 5th, 2008

The Vista start menu (and similar solutions would work the same i guess, like Google Desktop's ctrl-ctrl menu) replaced all my icons. Just type the first letters of what i want, And enter. Works like a charm.

if you use your computer alot, icons/shortcuts are a must.
its a pain to have to go and find the original app, when you can just have a shortcut on the desktop and double click it to run.
sure a desktop looks pretty without any icons, but how often do you stare at your desktop? most of the time you have a window open that covers it up.

SCHUMI-4-EVA · April 5th, 2008

True...but if your PC suddenly get's an urge to refresh icons there's a lot less to refresh so the performance lag is not as long.

my pc has three hidden docks and a hidden startbar with game icons on the desk

that's the way a pc should be run
