Show Us Your Workspace/Desk

you do know the running cost of a Photocopier in electricity alone is not really worth it unless you are doing HUGE amounts of printing.

You can turn it off when you're not actually printing...

There will also be issues with power consumption upon turning the thing on as well though, right? One of those this Taxi costs £10 to get in and charges £2 per mile and this other one is £5 to get in but only £3 per mile things.

Well yes, but the difference in power consumption isn't really going to hit as hard as your example makes out. I certainly didn't notice a hike in my power usage when I bought my huge old HP LJ4.

The numbers in the example were arbitrary and did not intend to offer any real numerical insight to the problem. I do obviously agree that if it's not being used very regularly it's going to be using a unnecessary amounts of power. I just assume that with these things that there is going to be some power used when booting up, just like with a car or a long fluorescent lamp.

Still, unless he's leaving it on all day long & printing sporadically to it (i.e. leaving long enough between jobs that it spins down & has to boot up again with each subsequent job) I doubt it's going to cause much of a hike. Boiling the kettle twice more each day would probably make a bigger difference.

[burtie]

The case is a Lian-li PC-7S. As for the carpets i bloody hate them there everywhere lol, if it was my house I'd have a little change.

Moved into a crummy flat where I'm staying over the summer. Not enough room for a desk, so my gear is sat on stools next to the bed.





Hopefully getting a job this summer so won't have to spend too much time here. Can't wait 'till September 1st when I move into a much nicer place

Nice setup.

How did you change your CS screen?

I'm guessing just locate the file and replace it with another with the same name?

Also, where did you get that desk and how much?

Cheers

You can download a background for css from fpsbanana.com , most of the dls there will also include a readme

I got the desk and chair for a bargain from some office shop, 100 quid for both (the chair is like one of those crappy looking really comfy ones, the kind where the lower and upper back parts are split you know)
