As you can see, I saved money by not getting a proper PC Desk or a PC Case.

PS: Item #10 on the pic is because I have kids and you need napkins around all the time. Don't get any weird ideas. :\

Amidoinitrite?

Want to trade workstations?


LOL... if you train Plastic Bottle Reprocessing Efficiency to lvl 5 you could make some money.

I am looking to upgrade my hardware. I would like to know what monitor sizes others are using and what size seems to be the best for EVE. I am currently on a 1280x1024 screen (19") now.


I do not think you need a bigger screen I think you need a second screen.
Then you hit the escape function and set screen size to double what you have now 2560X1024.
Then center ship on left or right 50% of frame size. Then drag all of your open windows over to the other screen.
Presto a clean clear game screen while all of your windows are open on the other screen and now you can open even more as you have the whole screen to play with.

Note it is difficult to do this with one 4X3 monitor and the second a 6X9 or wide screen monitor as they run different resolutions.
Both monitors should be of the same type but sizes can varry just not the resolution.
Example a 19" and a 25" as long as they both are 4X3 or both 6X9's.
You also could not run one screen at 1280X1024 and the other at something higher than 1280X1024 and split the data from one client across both screens.

Note this is not running multiple clients but is running one client on multiple screens for more space.

I'm stock piling them against the day god releases a patch that makes them worth something.

Yeah, I used to use the coke bottles. Then I kept drinking from them by accident when I was out of it. Soon learnt not to use the coke bottles.

Boom.
