Due to the weight and ability to create vibrations the computer and speakers get a better treatment. A felt backer gives distance to the floor, a layer of silicone dampens sound and closed cell foam reduces vibration and makes the granite stable.

This is a stand I was inspired to make following articles from Lifehacker and Makezine.
The wood was free as a favour from some friends at a local hardware store, the legs cost £1.49 each and I used a pack of screws lying around. I love it!
A detail of how many miles I've walked per day ever since the first day I moved into DC. The large spike just right of center is when I went on vacation in Scandinavia.
My record miles/day is just under 70, set back in 2005 on my very first day in Rome. I woke up at about 7am and didn't get back to my hostel until around 3am -- exploring the city that entire time (including getting arrested for about 15 minutes and, within an hour later, meeting then-Prime Minister Berlusconi). Second place consists of several days in Switzerland (2007) where I was up with the sun and back well into the night, hiking through mountains that entire time... carved up my feet quite nicely those days thanks to wearing brand-new hiking boots. Definitely should've broken those in first!

The room this computer currently sits in has no windows so I've found myself drawn to desktop wallpapers with windows lately. When I found this wallpaper (called Earth 2250) on Deviant Art, I thought it would look good with a dashboard type layout.
One thing I like about the TransRounded drives is they link to the actual drives. I also like that the Enigma mail icon links to Gmail. I have always gone for hidden taskbars over desktop icons so at the bottom is my hidden quick launch bar and at the top is my hidden start menu. I am a mac user 80% of the time and I'm used to having a hidden "dock" of sorts at the bottom so putting a quick launch bar here works well for me.
This Desktop Uses:
Wallpaper: Earth 2250 (http://taenaron.deviantart.com/art/Earth-2250-90964041)
Rainmeter Skins:
Modified Enigma Skins for weather, clock, date, twitter feed, and "Audio Track" - mostly size changes on all of these but I completely reorganized the "Now Playing" layout.
Unmodified Enigma Skins for Wireless and Gmail.
(http://lifehacker.com/5158878/enigma-desktop-20-released-adds-installer-widget-manager-and-templates)
Slightly Modified TransRounded Drives - I dropped the [Free] labels and percentages and added drive labels.

Unmodified HUD.Vision for Network and Calendar (http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/58074)
[updated]
I am reuploading this desktop because I fixed a few things that were bugging me in the initial layout I uploaded earlier this morning, mainly the text sizes on the weather description and date as well as the lack of a now playing display. Everything should also be centered better now as well.

Thses guys are going on the audio stand for isolation. They consist of a steel spike sitting a pocketed copper plate. This all covered nicely chrome and matte black steel and a felt pad on the bottom.

Fantastic daytime views at the astronomical observatory in the heart of old town Sydney, Australia. Here overlooking Millers Point towards the Goat Island and the harbor, northwest. Lovely evocative park seats amongst the giant trees. A wedding was just being set up behind me this Saturday afternoon.
This is one of the significant stands of trees in Sydney. It's a Moreton Bay Fig, planted around 1870. trees.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/location/observatory-park/

Still applying the same concept as in the previous one, only the taskbar has grown since the screen resulution now allows for this waste of screen real estate.
Here's the excellent desktop wallpaper btw.
not much about it. mounting the motherboard on a board makes it easier to handle. I connected all the cables outside and then put it in my IKEA thingy like an oven. If I want to add or replace something, i just loosen the board, take it out, do my thing and put it back in.

Even though your iPhone snaps pictures at pretty decent resolutions (2048x1536 from the 3GS, 1600x1200 on previous iPhone versions), your device automatically resizes photos to a measly 800x600 when you go to email them. Here's how to fix that...

The cult of "GTD." I don't know how I first heard about GTD—I think it was from someone on Twitter, or from Matt Haughey on his own blog or on his Twitter, or maybe it was on Lifehacker. But I was curious, and I'm about 60 pages in, and it's making a lot of sense.
Some of the tricks, I've done in one way or another, but if I can incorporate all of David Allen's theory, I think I'll be more productive and less stressed.
I even bought a Moleskine to use in tracking all my "open loops" and for tracking "next actions."
This is my current Windows XP desktop. I'm running ObjectDock Plus for the tool bar, Rainmeter and the 10-Foot HUD, plus a customized Weather skin, and a custom built Stock Market skin (both based on Grzegorz Gajdzinski's awesome weather and stock skins: members.lycos.co.uk/grzesiogg/index.php?option=com_conten.... I'm also running Trillian with the iChat-small skin, Thunderbird with the CuteBird theme, Firefox, iTunes, and host of goodies discovered on Lifehacker.
After moving furniture around i realized i needed another small table. This old filing drawer will make a good base and a lamp fits behind it nicely for reading.
When I chose granite to be my shelf material I needed a way to level, support, and isolate it from the metal structure. I chose to lay down "vapour barrier never-drying-silicone" because it have great vibration reduction properties and it won't dry out and crack. Since this product is sticky and mess it is covered in a hatched carpet backer that keeps it from oozing all-over and provides traction to the granite. I initially covered this in wax paper and let the weight of the granite press out the excess, then wax paper was removed and cleaned up and the granite remains spotless.
