Do you use a flight simulator or something with that computer setup?

I'm a dev so it's been years since I found the time to build towers, though one is upcoming when I delve back into CGI work, beyond a doubt gonna be a liquid cooled Xeon.
Yesterday an old outlet fried either the battery or motherboard of my i5 Dell XPS 18, so I'm scrambling to find it the i7 MoBo ehile I'm in Seattle for 5 more days. At least I'm near M$ country...
Right now the only computer with me is this Samsung/T-Mobile Galaxy S3 running Cyanogen 12.1 test branch nightlies; Android 5.1.1 on a used smartphone worth 40 bucks is pretty sweet, dropping it does nothing, I've expanded it with micro sdhc to 96 (actually 70?) GB and added QI induction charging last week.

I love your setup, very cool case.
Also, one of the best avatars. Frog blast the vent core!

Yow. Boot Linux natively and do not look back, you'll be glad you did. I did the same thing with a Dell Vostro 3400, 2.6ghz mid-voltage i5, underclocked GPU, 6gb RAM, Optimus 630M gfx, 480gb SSD and Windows still damn near melted it in those conditions. The fan vent really did start to melt.

Uh, uh, operating systems are the computing equivalent of religions, political parties or sports teams. Telling someone they should switch operating systems is blasphemy

While I accept that, I've never understood it. An OS is just a tool that allows you to use the hardware*. Some are better for certain tasks, some for others.
*& contrarywise, the hardware is just that which enables the OS to do it's thing and interact with the real world!

If operating systems are religions, then I'm an atheist. I hate Windows, Linux, and Mac OS all for different reasons. That being said, Windows is the easiest to set up for gaming.
Of course, I do actually like MS-DOS and its derivatives, just because it's not really much of an OS at all. It gives complete access to the hardware, and as such applications written for it can easily surpass its limitations, the only real challenge being that a programmer coding for it sort of has to code their OWN OS.

There is way too much going on there for me. I wouldn't even know which screen to use. I have one laptop - a Dell Inspiron touchscreen. I'm lucky to see that it doesn't blow up from me pushing too many wrong keys. I messed it up so much one time that I had to do a hard restart and set it up again like it had come from the factory. That's a girl for you. I couldn't even tell you how I figured out how to do the hard restart. And I have a virus that's hooked onto my email address that I have never been able to get rid of. (Heavy sigh.) Computers just aren't my forte.

Basically this, but I removed the stickers on the bottom and put some paper over the lights (they are annoyingly bright) and cam (my fapping is none of your business!
).Some specs:
Processor Core2Duo, 2GHz each
RAM 2 GB
Some random other hardware
Headset expensive from Sennheiser, have it for a long time now, still works like a charm
Mouse Razer Abyssus
32bit Windows Vista
classic Windows skin
