Wait, what are we doing? Pictures of our "work area", or list of geeky shit we see in our local vicinity?
|
Yah, need clarification, so I know whether to take a pic of the Sparc IPX I have in a closet somewhere, or the current system which is a water-cooled nehalem chipset.
Or maybe that answers the question right there ... |
I'm quite uber geek, but my stuff is scattered between several rooms, and hidden away. My desk is clean for once. Nothing geeky in my visibility range other than my computer and my HT system and a PATA 133 I was trying to integrate into my new system last night, but my current HDD's and my GPU was in the way, so I scrapped the idea.

I'm a chemist... Does that count?

Yeah, I'd say that guy has already made it big. Anybody who can telecommute from their home office in Boston to the Cali home office is in charge.

Where do you find the need for all of this crap? I like a clean and simple setup. I have a single desktop that I use (5 or 6 that I don't)

I don't even have an official place of work, but if it is home geekyness, I might be able to play ;)

-IBM P4 server collecting dust that I bought for fun.
-Running a gaming rig/random rig on a KVM switch. -Latitude D620 running Ubuntu -IBM R500 with a bad fan. -PS2 that has to be pulled apart to use... laser isn't adjusted right and it's one of the gay ones that resets itself. -Full independent network JUST for my room, the rest of the house can use their shitty wireless one. -Built every computer I've used for more than a couple weeks. (except laptop). -Built a briefcase computer, blew up. -Closet chocked full of computer BS. Literally a walk-in closet filled with excess of 10 graphics cards, a huge box of ram, and more ram then an average calculator can add. -At one point I had 6 HP desktops (forgot the model) -I dumpster dive for computers and parts -I have glasses -I take apart everything I own -I have long hair -HUGE potato gun hobby, I have 4, one of which has 4 chambers (not done yet though) -Homemade moped. Yes, you could say I'm quite the geek ;) |
