[hide=Title or Description][img]Image URL[/img][/hide]Anyway I know you said the topics not about showing off but to be honest I don't know or care about specs at all and the reason I enjoyed looking at the other topic was to look at peoples awesome wallpapers/themes/skins/docks/icons etc and to get tips on how to improve my own desktop which always seems to be a step behind.
Anyway the big Q that I wanted to ask is if it is possible for Miniplayer to instead of detailing album info by text, to display the album art instead. I've seen it happen a few times but I'm not sure if people are using WMP or some other player. I don't particularly want to switch out from WMP because it categorizes things pretty well.
A good example is lassekongo's second screenshot above but for WMP11.
Ultimately I am pretty dumb when it comes to computing. Thanks champs.
What OS is that, leafo? Solaris?
nah. it is arch linux (http://archlinux.org) with openbox + pypanel
The interface of KDE looks too bulky for me. I prefer something more along the lines of gnome or stuff like Lassekongo puts together. Most of ubuntu's default interfaces don't bug me.I can see what you mean, at least with KDE 3. The GNOME interface really is more streamlined...but I've come to like the whole "package" that KDE is. It feels a bit like a Mac in a sense, with all included apps being part of the system itself. KDE feels more polished than GNOME.
What sort of performance gain is seen between the ddr2 running at 800 and the same running at 1033?Not likely all that much, really. In terms of synthetic benchmarks, you might see a decent increase, but in real use and play experience 800MHz is pretty high performance as it is. The biggest advantage is that the best 1066MHz RAM (Reaper and Dominator) will probably overclock to 1333 or more, which allows a noticeable difference, though still not as much as, say, changing a video card or processor.
Anyway I really want to buy a new comp (my current one is kind of sluggish from time to time), but I should really ask myself that should I spend a lot of money on this, since I'm not that hardcore of a gamer. :p Then again, if I did put all the money on this, I doubt I'd have to upgrade for at least 2-3 years.

How do you like the Antec case rami? Is that that 900?Well, it is very very cool compared to any of my previous systems, but a tad more noisy (nothing unbearable though). But then again I got all my fans on the highest speed and also set my GPU fan at constant 45% to keep it cooler, it'd be quite a bit more quiet if I used low/medium fan speeds, and didn't set the GPU fan speed that high (most of the noise came from the GPU fan speed increase, setting it to automatically controlled like it was default is much much more quiet, but the GPU idle temp goes up like 30C).
My laptop is a BEAST. The thing weighs 13 pounds.and i thought mine was big... i don't even think that qualifies as a laptop anymore.

intel(r) celeron(r) mThat is almost exactly what the IBM SurePOS 400s use. Did you take a cash register from work or something?

What is an IBM SurePOS 400, though, Jeff?It is a smallform computer that is used for cash registers in many stores in America. I make use of one that I swapped the processor out on as a mythbuntu HTPC, but mine is the SurePOS 300. The 400 is a bit better, and is about the exact same stats as he listed, including the via northbridge/graphics.
960gb of ram... dam bro are you multiboxing lol
blimey! corrected.How do you go about doing that..
This might be kind of unrelated, but I don't think so. Right now I have an ATI x1900 GT and it's too out of date for me, so I am hoping for an upgrade on Christmas. Can someone recommend a good GPU in the price range of 100$-200$? I have a 500 watt PSU and the case isn't that big, so preferably a card that isn't too huge and one that my PSU can run fine. I also don't really care who the manufacturer is, I just want the most bang for my buck(which isn't too many bucks ATM.)

Too bad that motherboard is socket 775... and you're using XP with 6GB (unless you meant x64)...lol he is lying about his computer to try and impress people on the internet
