H**L YES !!!!!!!!

that is an awesome set up there. It is neat seeing different people's set ups

oh i see good books - a blue one, a red one, a black one,...wait?! wheres the green one!

This is an old photo, I'm sure Myf has rectified the situation. And if not, THERE WILL BE WITCH TRIALS TONIGHT!!

*Is totally not planning on stealing your workspace* >.>;;;

See this? This is my Jealousy face.

That is one awesome set up, I love the plants! It looks very calming.

That's some rig! What about the three displays? :)

/jealous

My OCD thanks you ^.^

Balls. D:
My computer has been defeated. ;n;

You Got a TB of Hard drive Nice. And you have a heat Sink that would would keep your Gear from over heating, Smart. Overall nice Rig

Eh, great and well balanced work place: green plants, light, air purifier, etc. Hmm, is this window one of these fake windows with only a light behind the curtains to give you a feeling there is a real window behind? Or was it a very bright day? :E

Just bright! I actually have a curtain over it now because of that xD I'm kind of a night owl so its usually not a problem though :)

That's a pretty much good rig, that much I can say. I plan on building a similar one for myself.

Oh wow Very close to my stats but i run less memory and i use an AMD processor

GOOD choice on the cooling as i got the very same liquid cooling h50, except i removed the factory heatsink gel and used a better thermal paste

i need to upgrade my motherboard as it is a cheapy last resort thing... LOVE the setup! so welcoming with the plants around it OH to save your PC place a wood or anything board under it so it is not directly on the floor LOTS of dust can creep in that way, just something i picked up from pro PC operators...

and good to see you again! im glad you got VERY good parts in your pc and Very well organized!

Yeh I use arctic silver for thermal paste :)
It has this long platform that came with my desks for it to rest on thankfully!

then your all set! epic! hope you are comfy with your setup and to see you draw nice pics again!

very nice setup! :-D

Very feng shuim I must say. Looks like one of those sci fi movies with the dude operating a million computer screens at once.
I also remember you sending me a screenie of you playing Amnesia on all three of em. Slick~

I have my bed
my laptop
and a £19.99 tablet

XD

I'M SUCH A CLASSY ARTIST

YOU ROCK IT GIRL! Just goes to show its not what you have, but what you know ;D

Before I had my cintiq I had this awful 3rd party tablet that had no pressure sensitivity D:

woah

Want! :O

woah, your setup is kickass

Why? what use do you have all of the power and stuff?


I'm good with my desktop adn laptop <.< (lappy being a Asus, 1.2GHz processor and 3GB RAM, desktop Acer 3ghz quad core, 6 gb ram and 2500gb hdd)

Hobby photographer

games and photoshop! And maya... when I use that.

hm, ok, but still, a bit overkill <.<

Do want!!! ^^

I'm officially jealous.

Also, just fyi, for those of us who'd love a Cintiq, it doesn't matter that you consider yours "older" or not. It's still shinier and more awesome than the Intuos3 with no drawing surface sheet because they often have your size on backorder. :(

i approve of these room and computer set up... cause it's awesome.

I dun want your compy set up, I just want your comforter! lol! That is a very nice set up though, but your blanket just...omgWANT!

its my fav ;__; pretty thing

that cintiq gives me boners.

this whole workspace gives me boners.

all of my jealousy ;____;

I'd share ;D

THE LAW OF SU..?

Nice plants.

I'm jealous as hell. I've got a laptop, an HDTV, a MIDI keyboard (for music), and a pencil for drawing. ^^; Yay, graphite and scanner art!

i also envy this setup, minus intel chipset and the raid0. raid0 is bad unless in combination with another raid array... 1+0 is good.... 0 alone doubles your chances of data loss. I always use raid1 for my computer... at least then i don't have to freak out if a drive dies, cause i can still use the computer :)

yeah i pretty much just want your monitor setup o.o

love that cintiq placement o.o

And Windows 7 64bit

Nice computer! I have an Advent SE2102.

With a 500Watts ATX PSU
Ati radeon HD 5450 Graphic card
3GB memo
540 GB HDD

ANd finally a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet.

Not so powerful as your machine but i love it after many celeron shit...

I would be lying if I said I was not totally jelly right now

.....oh so jelly

Mannnn that workspace is baller, I'm jealous haha!

;3; do waaaaaaaaant *makes grabbyhands*

Please forgive my computer illiteracy, but I am kind of curious as to how you are using sli and 4 monitors, or is that just something the gtx 480 can do? I have two GTX 260's and three monitors (1 being my small cintiq screen). I would love to sli them, but from what I understood that would mean I could only have two screens, unless there is a trick I don't know about? XD

I disable the cinitq when I want to game in sli :) Actually, I have two operating systems installed, one for work and one for fun. the fun one boots up with sli enabled by default.
Helps keep me from being tempted to game while I should be working so thats a plus!

But yeah, when I sli, its all 3 lcds :> Just takes two nvidia surround compatible graphics cards.

hey I have that cpu case! It's so awesome >3<! I love how easy the vents are to clean!
really nice set up though. I love all the plants x3.

awesome setup, and impressive specs! o.=.o

on a side note, the inside of your computer is sexy ;3 *is a computer enthusiast*

Thank you!! Didnt think anyone would comment on that <3
cable management ftw!

What is the device that looks like a drafting table but has the windows screen on it

Its a cintiq 21ux! Basically a monitor and a tablet all in one, you draw on it :)

omg I want one so bad!

wacom cintiq

THis is some beast you've got there. Now, do you plan on updating it in next year or something, when these parts become old? ;D

Perhaps! Though I think it's pretty future proof for a while yet. The parts in it are already over a year old :> I'm such a power user though... there's always that temptation xD;

And... what do you need it for? Do you do movies, graphic engine programming, physical simulations...? x)

That is an awesome setup, makes me jealous! Mainly because my desk is a mess and not having any shelving in my room atm means most if not all of it goes on said desk! FRUSTRATING when you are trying to find a pen x.x

And having a look inside I thought "Wow..that is a really small motherboard...wait...no its not, those graphics cards are just GINORMOUS!!!"

Awesome setup, I love the atmosphere here. You're lucky to have a 21" Cintiq, I'd settle for the 12" model though. :3

careful FA removed my desk images :(

I recently got a 27" monitor for Xmas :D I'm very happy with it

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h.....1/IMG_2245.jpg

That.

Is.

Overkill.

/steals cintiq

When I saw the case I was transmuted into jelly immediately.

On the computer, that is.

Ohhhh, fantastic future ! The desktop of my dreams) I have a very old computer (but expensive monitor) and my table like trash heap - the food, wire, piles of papers ...
Really epic workspace

/jelly

Good Lord that is a beautiful setup!

Beastly setup. D: The only thing I'd want different is a pair of HS80M's and a mixing desk. P: /audiophile

O.O Want. I am sure it has been said. But I am Willow, and therefore claim it as my own. *claim*

Your workspace is that of God

Seriously. Endless jealousy, ESPECIALLY THAT MOTHERFUCKING OP COMPUTER YOU GOT O_O

:D

That is an awesome workspace. So clean and illuminated! I noticed we have the same Logintech speakers :D

Nice setup Amyf! I only wish my room was as clean. I've got a case of OCD similar to yours in organization, but way too much stuff out in the open to qualify. Also, first thing I noticed: ALL THE DRAGONS ON THE SHELVES! :P

An impressive workspace for an impressive artist *g*

Look at that, the wacom cintiq :Q

*steals*

wow, all that screen would only confuse me x3 I only have a laptop. your room there reminds me of my dad's place though, plants rule!

wish I can better see your figures 8D

Beastly workspace and pc mate. o_o

*Keanu Reeves nods with approval*

LOL.

Your workspace is bigger than all my room xD can you adopt me?

Is that the Age of Fire series I see next to the Inheritance trio? o: Age of Fire is one of my favorite series. ; u; I wish more of my friends had read it.

Oh man I love Age of Fire <3 Can't believe E.E. Knight was at FC. To the left of the inheritance books is the lord of the rings trilogy and cirque du freak is on the other side.

Age of fire is probably my favorite dragon series next to the tales of kolmar. I'm so trying to talk one of my friends into reading it myself, LOL.

Oh gosh. Age of Fire. I still haven't been able to get my hands on the sixth book. ; n; The book store was plotting against me:
Go in there to get second book. Consider getting all six. Decide against it. NEVER SEE SIXTH BOOK AGAIN.

The story was so great, though. It's sad that no one I've known has even heard of it. :c I'm not familiar with Tales of Kolmar, though. Is it similar?

oh gosh, I didnt know the 6th book was out LOL. I'm so going to have to read that! xD

Tales of kolmar is kinda similar... in that dragons are a focus in the story and not the bad guys. It's very much like a beauty and the beast story except with dragons :D The first book is called Song in the Silence.

Brb. Going to Amazon to try to find this. + u+ I'm always on the lookout for new dragon books and stuff to read. Is it weird that I never was able to get into the Pern books? Just something about them kept me from getting into them..

Idk it might be kinda lame, but I've loved dragons since I was a kid, so I can't get enough of em. x 3x;;

I read like.. one pern book back in middle school. I wasn't very impressed, in fact, I cant even remember much about it. Just not a story that stuck around for me. It might have been because the dragons were kinda just... there. They didn't seem very involved or easy to relate to. Unlike in age of fire and tales of kolmar.

ME TOO! Probably not too surprising though, haha. I've heard good things about the Tereraire series as well, haven't read that one though!
If you do end up reading Song in the Silence I'd love to hear your opinion on it! :D

That`s so awesome

Symmetry. Symmetrical. Mirrored. Wat, this is so awesome in so many ways. Want. D:

my god I do want

Want yes...

Blaaaaah your space is so CLEEEEAN.... I don't have the drive to keep things that clean Dx Bed is all messed up nearly all the time, papers everywhere, cords all over the place... Xbox, sound system, laptop, monitor for laptop, cable box, TV, clock, 2 lamps, tablet dock, ETP for Xbox, wired controller, USB cords for GoPro, phone and laptop cooling pad, headset for Xbox (also wired)... All out of two outlets xD

*DROOL*

This is Houston, you're clear for take off.

Very nice set up.

I may have missed it due to all the other comments but what is that HUGE tablet you got there? that looks amazing!

gosh.. I missed this comment. It is a wacom cintiq 21ux :>

*dies* Im guessing about 1200? I Wanna get one For Serpy sometime when I am able to afford it...At current though I am dealing with car things lol!

closer to 2,000 really. The things really keep their value too x.o

Do you by cxhance have an older oone you may be interested in selling? Serpy is looking to get into them soon hehe!

Wooow!! This beats my little wacom tablet and my tiny laptop!!! ;3; wanna share?

Sometimes I wish I had a little tablet for drawing! So maybe :>>>

As long as I can borrow a monitor LOL XD

i want your set up sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad

So, what do you say about a party in there?

They say not to be jealous of other people...

but damn man, that's one workspace I wish I could have xD

overkill ;-;

I wish I had a setup like that, then again I dunno waht to do with more than one monitor D:

You find uses very quick!
For example, right now I have a stream on my left, firefox on the center, art refs/skype on the right, and photoshop on my cintiq :>

Now that I think about it,
I mostly only had two monitors max.
but back then I didnt have a powerful machine to handle them or multitask >.>
Now I do..but no second screen :x
On top of which, I hate my current resolution..I need something around 16xx or higher before I do anything good -_-

Holy fuck I love this setup.

Honey, have a question, which table do you use for your cintiq? I know that it`s 21" but I ordered 24"HD one and dunno where to find a right and comfy table.

I use a table-mate II that I spray painted black :B
This thing: http://www.amazon.com/Table-Mate-14350-4-II-Folding-Table/dp/B000EGJQG4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333221893&sr=8-1

Works nice for a 21ux, a perfect fit almost. Very snug. Only downside is it's not a desk so no keyboard tray, room for a mouse, etc. I would use a normal desk but they tend to be too tall and it's a pain in the ass to draw like that. Right now I have a desk set up right next to my cintiq for my nostromo, which is a gaming pad but I use it for art... put all my brushes and macros on there :)

Oh that a smart idea! But I'm not sure if thins thingy could take 30kilos of 24HD. How heavy is 21"?

Google says the 21ux is about 8.6kg and the 24hd is about 15kg. So like.. half the weight. May be better off just getting an actual desk for it. It's a monster! ;D

Sadly it`s 29kg -__- so yeah, nees a new desk -__-

OH DANG, you're 100% right. This site was wrong http://www.luuux.com/node/3283955 XD
If you do find a desk that works well for you I'd be super interested in knowing!

Congrats on your new toy in any case :D

Well, I`ll let you know when I find something ^^
And tnx^^ After 3 years of usage 12' cintiq i realised that its way too small for me.

What a clean workspace!
My workspace is not so clean, especially when the dust jaguars invade.
We push them back but they keep returning.

Just two 480s :) I think thats the sweet spot as far as scaling goes for sli. 480s Are really good value for the price! If heat or some noise isn't a factor. Plus, they come in handy in the winter XD

And yup! Still works flawlessly! Only thing I'd maybe upgrade at this point would be to get 6 8gb ram sticks instead of the 2gb ones I have now. Then my system would be maxed out basically.

this is the fucking most amazing battle station i've ever seen

i'd post the specs for my self-built computer but it BLEW UP LAST YEAR so obviously i girl'd it too hard and ruined technology...

May it rest in peace. D:
Major respect for building your own computer though! That's incredibly awesome as from my experience not many girl's want to bother. (which kinda annoys me since its so simple??)
Also you should still tell me the specs so I can be a geek. I kinda enjoy that.

BTW... totally random but I was so wondering if you were a girl. I thought you were! But it wasn't super obvious and I find that to be rather awesome.

case - Cosmos 1000
mb - ASRock 880G EXTREME3
processor - AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz
Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB DDR3 RAM
Western Digital WD Black WD1001FALS 1TB HD
Western Digital WD VelociRaptor 150GB fast drive
Antec NEO ECO 620W power supply
graphics card - umm XFX HD-467X-ZDF2 Radeon HD i think
Lite-On 24 X iHAS424-98 DVD burner

that's all i can remember/find on newegg. keep in mind this was my first self-built computer so it was pretty simple, especially since i didn't use it for gaming. i bought a few of the parts off a friend so it was hella cheap too. the motherboard fried after 4 years (after plugging it into japanese power sockets and then US sockets) and i was so pissed that i just scrapped it. made myself an external HD which uses an internal HD so it's fast and shit, eventually i'll put it into the next computer i build, whenever that'll be haha.

i'm really not too knowledgeable about this kinda thing, but it's something i'd like to learn more about~ ONE DAY MY HEART WILL HEAL AND I'LL BUILD ANOTHER.

when did you first start getting into computers (specifically building)? guys seem to dominate the field unfortunately. and yes, my chest is filled with fat and mammary glands. :P

A white case! I like. I was so tempted to get a white case myself but decided to be uncreative and get what was considered one of the best. That's a decent workstation computer you built only thing I'd change would be more ram.... Mmm... ram.

This computer was the first one I built! I guess I aim pretty high. I was 19 when I built it. I've built a few others for friends and family since. One for an ex whom wanted it so we could play games together and for doing her own creative work (she was a graphic designer). That was pretty fun. I basically did the opposite with her build (AMD processor, ATI graphics) turned out just as good as mine... if not better.. and at a fraction of the cost lol. Hate how quickly electronics become "outdated".

AND YES, you have to!!! Too awesome building your own rig not to :D I just learned everything I know from the ever knowledgeable google and reading reviews and such.


What a coincidence! My chest is too! Though not much fat.. and my mammary glands are extremely underdeveloped... OH WELL at least I can flash people all I want :3c
I kid, I kid. :>

yeah, that case is about the only thing i bought new. that's why the ram and power supply were kinda weak... i spent more on the case than everything else combined haha.

this is goddamn impressive for a first-time computer if i do say so. i barely managed a basic one with help. that's awesome you've built some for others, if you keep up on the new technology you could even open a shop and make pretty good money building them as a hobby. i had a friend who dropped out of college to do that and he's making $45,000+ a year part time. he says it's real easy work and he loves it!

whenever i next get established somewhere i want something with triple monitor action like this! do you have a particular brand to recommend? the bigger the better~

... JUST LIKE TITS HEUEHEUHUHEHA no really though you just flash people because you need validation for your itty bitties. :P actually big ones are pretty annoying when they get in the way...

Thank you! Well my 3 23" screens are all ASUS monitors. For the price they're pretty much the best I've found (unless you come by a sale or something!). The colors are pretty and not washed out, but not super accurate. I kind of like that though since I figure these are the types of screens most people will have so when I make art I make sure it looks good on both as I work. So THAT is super handy.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236059&cm_sp=Spotlight-_-24-236-059-_-12072012
That's the ones!

But yes... oh man... 3 monitors is DEFINITELY the sweet spot. I want to get a normal tablet too so I can make better use of them for art. I mean, I can sort of with my cintiq, but I have to look up and down constantly and it strains my neck. And yeah, I certainly wouldn't mind building computers as a job, haha. Though I don't think there's much future in it since it's SO EASY and people are learning of this magical tool called google fhdaskg... Most people are lazy though so it'd probably be fine.

ps. droooooling @ that cintiq! when did you get that thing? would you say it's worth it?

I got it in May 2009! So it's an older model. And honestly, nah. A standard intuos is much more useful with my set up and doesn't require such a specific set up for it not to be a pain in the ass to use. Plus I can lean back and draw in my lap with an intuos which is a godsend.

It's a fun luxury though :) And it's useful in that I know at least one of my monitors is color accurate for sure, haha. (Cintiqs are IPS panel monitors woot woot)

what tiep of tablet do you have?

How organized. You're right, it is very fun to see how other artists work and where the create their stuff ^^ I currently live in the corner of a livingroom in a one bedroom apartment, so my workspace is wherever I am able to sit but I used to have a really nice desk set-up. I envy you for having such a nice place to art out :3

normal tablets are good for that (aside from large and extra large sized... those ones arent super portable!) :) Can literally just put one in your lap and start drawin! Lots of freedom :D Unlikes cintiqs *cough* *cough*
Cintiqs require very specific arrangements. Like notice how in this pic mine is on its own separate little table? That's because MOST desks are too tall to work comfortably on one. It can be tricky to create a set up to accommodate such a beastly piece of equipment. Pretty much have to build your work area around it.

eww no thanks lol. I like to lounge when I draw personally.

Nice room. Noticed the glass tables you have are in the same frame style as mine, though mine's a corner desk with black glass. Nice system, as well. Just built a new one meself, 16gb of VLP RAM(its sooo tiny! the clips are taller!) 250GB samsung evo SSD(their softwares clocked it @ over 1 GB/s read/write and 120k+ IOPS ) 2 of the new 1TB Barracuda drives(non-raid these things are twice as fast as my old 250GB Barracuda Raid-0 config ) and a poopoo 3570K. Crazy temps keeping me @ 4.3GHz. Contemplating delidding the sucker, though atm i'm also looking into doing my own waterloop. Getting a single GTX 780 or Ti version soon, don't use surround, but then again all I do is game on a single large display.

furries computer chair, covered in cum xD

That, is all forms of amazing.

I want a set up like that! //sobs

But my room is too small ;-;

So awesome. How much did all of that cost?

Wow, it looks so comfortable, styleish and just cool. A good game-PC, a big tablet, clean room and accurate books and statues... nice! I like it :3

Thank you! I'm still rocking this setup two years later and it has definitely withstood the test of time ^^

Welcome to the Star ship Enterprise. Awesome work space man! :D
