I deleted mine off my server. I'll get it reuploaded.

Here's mine @ work:

Yes, that is a Ferrarri. It's a 1988 Testarossa. It was at our local car show this year. I took the picture.

Skorpion - Is there any way I could get the wallpaper that you have on your desktop at work. I find it really cool!

I got it from DeviantArt.com. It's called "Inspiration", I think. It's somewhere in the top 20, if you go to Wallpapers > Abstract > Sort by Score.

---Skorpion

Thanks!

Desktop
Start Menu

GoToetc.etc. that is a very nice looking desktop. What version of Windows are you using? I'm using Win98 and can't seem to make my desktop look anything like that!

I'm pretty sure I know how he did that. But it's his desktop, so I'll let him have the fun of explaining it.

If we're into posting start menus and stuff, I'll get a picture of my desktop tonight with all the phun stuff I've done to it, instead of just winamp and the background.

---Skorpion

Well, he better do, cos if he doesn't, then I...I....well I won't be all that bothered, but I'd like to know

I know... I know....

You did know you could've copied/paste my name

I used 3D Color Changer to make the taskbar and other things and used E-Icons to change the icons. I'm using WinMe btw.

Ever heard of this thing called "Google"?

Well, I tried three other search engines and every link was dead on there so I guess I will try google.

Ok, Thanks I found it. Quick question. In the start bar how did you remove the side
windows ME mile..etc etc?

wow, everyone has kickass desktops... I better change mine before I get jealous...

Yea I know! I will post mine tomorrow.

I think I will keep mine under wraps to save from embarrassment

I want a cool desktop like that! :(:(:(:(:(:(

wow nice desk top. I don't want to call you a lair or anything, but is that really your desk top? i saw the same thing more then once on some other sites? I'll try to dig them up to show you where.

I can guarantee you that is my desktop :rolleyes:

Tech: To remove the WinMe banner on the side, go to Settings>Taskbar & Start Menu and turn on Show Small Icons in Start Menu.

Desktop
Start Menu

Using some programs mentioned here to create this

Yours doesn't really blend too well o.O

I know, but I hardly ever look at my desktop. So it really doesnt matter. I usually have about 7 or 8 windows open.

and like I said before, I thought it sucked anyways

Make the taskbar a darker shade of grey and it would look much better. Unless you will use a white wallpaper, then stick with that.

Start menu and winamp

Isn't that EndEffect stuff GoToran?
No Windowblinds (objectdesktop) users here? Wow that suprises me.

I've got no place to upload my desktop atm, but imagine a clean chaotic desktop

Skorpion: Are you a Deviant (www.deviantart.com) ? Show me your stuff if you are

Actually Tech-Ni-Kal is using Windowblinds... I've used that exact skin before.

I'm using Windowblinds and IconPackager too, at home anyway. And normally I use WindowFX, but I'd been having some memory problems so I turned it off.

I used to be at DeskMod till they closed (:(). I submitted that last wallpaper I did to WinCustomize, too... (something like 450 downloads the first day... w00t! [edit]and rignt now i'm on the top 10 downloads.... this just gets better and better!!!

[/edit]). And I've been trying to join up at DeviantArt, but they had those DNS problems so I haven't been able to get on lately.

When I get home and am able to access DeviantArt, I fully plan to submit both of the wallpapers I've done.

here is mine

hope u enjoy my set up, i need a new backround --==click==--

Ah that's good

I've made quite a few skins...I still need to submit them.

That's good Skorpion, why didn't you make se7enet like that?

I will upload my desktop when I have the chance and space, tomorrow probably

Right now, I intend to make the next version of Se7enet in similar style to the tears wallpaper. If Infopop would hurry up and get 6.1 out the door, I could get started making the next version a lot sooner!

I'm a Deviant now, too... just joined up, will upload those two wallpapers tonight.

---Skorpion

nice can't wait!

To be honest I was kind of upset of the current Se7enet design, too plain and you can do alot more than that!

Colors are neat though

Yessiree! I do use windowblinds along with iconpackager and some other programs occasionally that I can't remember off the top of my head.

Yea, I like that skin, every other skin that I have found isnt as plain to me as that one I just am grown to it. But WB doesnt work with CuteFTP.

Yup, that's EE stuff there. I don't like WindowsBlinds because it hogs all the system resources.

Same here, as if my resources aren't low enough as is.

You forgot to mention it will hog all the system resources if you have a sad computer

My computer sucks don't even mention it

I'll be upgrading in this month so all will be lightning fast

i love my computer ,1024 mb of sdram

[ July 14, 2001 01:00 AM: Message edited by: Anime-loo ]

1GB is unnecessary for the regular end-user. You only need that much for heavy GFX work and servers. Unless you do those then nevermind me. I'll be upgrading mine to 512MB (2x256MB) PC2100 DDR-SDRAM (just ordered them, coming home Monday) so

im in the process of building my new comp with DD ram :), but i got two more 512 stick for this one, im truning it into a server

Athlon 1.2 gig, 512 mem, 21" screen, 50 gig hard space (devided on 2 discs) Geforce3

I've got a generous superior, now we're not even discussing the comp I have @ work

o god :rolleyes: here we go agane, lord knows wat im talkin about

p3 800 mhz running at 1.5 ghz
geforce 2 gts 64 megs
1024 megs of Sd ram

cd-rom 56x
56k winmodeam (3com)
windows 2k pro
6 fans:
stock fan on processer with water cooler
stock fan on geforce 2 with water cooler
power suply fan
two on the side of the case
one huge one the the front

(outside comp)
visioneer 6200 scaner
Deskjet 840c printer
smasung wireless headphones
turbo trak keyborad
m$'s optical mouse
19 moniter O.o

Dang...you peeps are hardcore PCers. GeForce 3? Dang, unless you are a FPS freak or you just don't really need that. Could've just gotten a GF2 Ultra then overclock it. I'll be getting a GF2 Pro and try to o/c to an Ultra level (although I know I won't reach there without extra cooling).

Anime-loo: That's some major H2O cooling. I was about to go with that type of cooling too but I'm rather on the budget and very afraid to burn out my new PC lol

if your ganna overclock a gf2 do not over clock the core nly the memory

i did with my old geforce and it messed me up, causeing progs to crash, flash wouldent run, and i couldent log in on ubb 6

You all have such good computers... I have... um... uh...

Pentium II 266MHz
64MB of RAM (upgraded to 32MB)
27GB Hard Drive (upgraded from 4GB)
Creative 3D Blaster 16MB (upgraded from 4MB card)
17" Monitor
CD-ROM

Celeron 650MHz
64MB of RAM
15GB Hard Drive
11MB video
17" Monitor
CD-ROM

Soon (I hope):
Pentium III 800MHz
256MB RAM
20GB Hard Drive
ATI Mobility Pro card (16MB IIRC)
14.1" Monitor

Pentium lol!!! Pentium is outdated kid, Athlon rules the market and is alot better, Stability and speed wise.

19 inch?

Since this is turning into a "List your Specs" thread, I might as well participate...

Here's what I got:
Athlon 700
256MB PC133 ram
40gb HDD
16X DVD-ROM
17" Monitor (blech!)
3D Prophet II GTS 32MB vidcard
Hercules GameTheaterXP soundcard
Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 speakers

Here's what I'm getting: (as soon as either my grandparents give me money, or after this summer when I've saved it up my own self)
Athlon 1.4ghz
ThermalEngine Pro cpu cooler
512MB PC2100 DDR RAM
60 or 80gb HDD
16X DVD-ROM (carried over from my old PC, since it's brand new)
3D Prophet III or Elsa Gladiac 920 (I wanna go Hercules, but it looks like they're dropping the nVidia line... so Elsa may get my money :()
Blue Orb gpu cooler
GameTheater XP soundcard (again, carried over from the old box since it's brand new)
Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 speakers
All that wrapped up in either a Hydraulic or Antec SX1030B case with a half dozen case fans, a window, and a blue neon light inside.

My computer will be nifty. And I'll challenge any P4 1.7ghz owner to a battle of FPS, and we'll see who comes out the winner!

---Skorpion

All yet to come, it's like saying "I'm sure I'll be getting a Athlon 5.5 gig in the future"

Workstation rules

I think the P4 will win in the FPS challenge since Quake 3 runs really fast on it for some reason. o.O

BTW, I think the 1.8GHz is already/almost out too so that's a different story. The expense alone for RDRAM is just crazy...

I hardly know anything about my comp...I better start finding out what the hell it is...

[Laptop]

Pentium 3 Processor[750 mhz]
10 GB HD

128 Ram
56k WinModem
Win ME

It is a Dell Latitude c600 <-- I think?

Anime Loo: I've got a personal hatred against Pentium, that processor killed my whole comp once!

Not only that, it's way too unstable too.
Every company can increase the amount of gig in their processor, but keeping stability is a whole other story which only Athlon seems to be able to do.

Pentium 4 will be a fookin joke!

Ok here's my desktop, Something awful happened to the colors when converting me thinks

My Desktop

This one is taken on my sec compy, isn't he cute?

Oh someone needs a neat wallpaper for his desktop? Check this out:

SB - Wallpaper

A bit disturbing though

Nice desktop Morph. Looks pretty good.

I know a few people who hate Pentium, Can be unrealiable sometimes..Oh well.

Athlons are more efficient than Pentiums. Yes, a Pentium can technically get 1.7 billion clock cycles pers second. And yes, the Athlon can only get 1.4 bil. But the Athlon can perform more instructions in a single clock cycle than the Pentium can. Therefore, it takes the Athlon fewer clock cycles to process the same amount of instructions. As such, a 1.4 athlon can match, if not overpower, a P4 @ 1.7 anyday.

The only reason many people did not see Athlons as a viable gaming platform at first (which is a definition that has unfortunately stuck with it even though the problem has been fixed) is it initially had some compatibility problems with nVidia's GeForce cards, and one of the major Athlon mobo chipsets had some problems with the AGP architecture.

Morph: that's a nifty background, if only it weren't 800x600.

---Skorpion

Yes that's oftenly my problem, when I want to design a site (800x600) mostly runs out to be a wallpaper of some sort

You can increase the size and still looks good though
