Very nice. Arethe indy internals original or not?
Also; What distro are you running?

Bunch of nice set ups in this thread.

One day my setup will be nice... at least I have good input devices

Tell us more about yours. Your computer looks especially interesting.

Wow ! What a atypical case ! I suppose you made it ?
When I saw your wallpaper in an other topic, I knew your desk setup will be like in this photo ! ^^

Ahem, sold to you by whom?
Anyways, it's starting to become great, in-fact greater than mine atm

Yes I made the 'case' myself. It still needs some details sorted out on it. Perhaps I will finally motivate myself to take it apart to do so this week sometime.

I thought "Thermalke Level10" when I saw this, but looks more simply.
I love it. Which improvements you will do ?

EDIT : I found your message on geekhack.

Major changes! I moved my desk and replaced my crappy screens (25.5" and 21.5") with two Dell U2312HM and a proper VESA mount. I have WAY more free space on my desk now (click for comparison)

There's still some stuff missing so it definitely won't stay that clean/empty.

Against-the-light shot ftw:

I like it.
Not the desk, though

The desk is uhm 8 years old and complete crap. But at least I can cut stuff and solder on it and use it as workbench as it doesn't make any difference if theres one more cut/hole or not

Sorry that you guys can't see the great keyboard I have out with these. Just in case you're wondering what it even is, it's a Microsoft Digital Media Pro keyboard, and I personally think it feels better than my beamspring, I'm just too lazy to untangle wires.

And you can live with the noise ?

Little update;

Wow! Everyone has some awesome setups! I was super impressed by Ivan's custom case.

I'll put some pictures of my setup later today!

They don't bother me, advantage of keeping servers in the garage.

First mech. keyboard arrived today, very satisfied but it takes a while to get used to.

In memoriam - my first love what comes to mechanical keyboards, Ducky Shine1. About 2 weeks ago it had to make space for my new Ducky Shine3 Year of the Snake.

Keyboard of the week.

Ah,Finally you buy ergodox
Nice oh,Lefty,apparently

I've never really been too interested in ergo keyboards but the ErgoDox does look pretty nice.
Did you put this one together yourself, webwit? Where did you get the caps? They almost look like they have that velvety PBT finish in the last shot.

My right hand was destroyed by RSI. Well, not that bad, but I use both.

@002: It's this one:

Nice - what do you think of it so far?

Needs cupped PCB and adjustable feet, but otherwise very good. Can't say it's very usable right now, it's one of those keyboards with a learning curve and time investment.

I wonder why this happens to some people but not others. I've been typing for decades on ergonomic nightmare keyboards, big hulking loafs of keyboards - without wrist rests, bad layout, typing "like I'm scratching a window" ( )... and I never had any kind of repetitive stress problem.

For feet maybe Can wear V3 Accessory kinesis FS
Wewbit, what different with symmetric layout of your experience?

I think from resting my hand on the mouse for some decades.

It's better in theory, but in practice, your mind is brainwashed with asymmetric layout, so you need to relearn.

Very true. I've been toying with some of Suka's symmetric stagger spares, and until I hook up a controller and use it to actually type with, there's no relearning happening here.

As for Mr. A500's point. Everyone's different, physiologically speaking. I'm freer from RSIs than I should be too. My knuckles are quite wide and my fingers fairly short, perhaps this helps me use nightmarishly normal boards? It makes buying gloves a pain, I can tell you that.
