Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

"good ol' days?"

damn you guys are young... in my mind the "good ol' days" are back when 16MB VRAM was cutting edge. Voodoo 2/3 and GeForce 256.

Thanks for the necro man Spamray; I get to see and learn things I didn't know existed on geekhack.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Get all the way to the end hoping to see finished desk pictures and nothing..... :-\

But thanks to OP for some ideas, I'm thinking about building a desk for my new 'home office'.

And now, because you bumped it, I did the same thing lolololol.  You dirty rat.  :p
I'm back.

What's all this talk of dedicated VRAM about then?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

My earliest card that didn't come with the pc was voodoo 3.


But overall,  I wasn't SUPER addicted to video games YET..

It was still a time where, riding my bicycle and going outside on roller blades was an OPTION..


Whereas by the 6950 times,,  There was only 1 way of life.

OP hasn't even signed in for more than two years :eek:

I hope he didn't suffer a fatal desk-related accident!
