My living room install . . . . . oh oh !

MehulLakhani · 22 Feb 2008 at 23:30

Just been sorting out some of the pc's this evening . . . still got loads to do

Reinstall xp pro on the server in the middle room

Reinstall vista ultimate on my spanking new Dell XPS M1530

Use the Mesh 3.4Ghz lappie as a general sort machine for when none of the others are working !

Use the HTPC which has a 500gb hard drive for storage, and it needs windows media centre re-installed on it . . . .

S775 3GHZ is still waiting to be done - not in pics . . . . .

Now I know what expensive things you have in your house, where do you live?

Kidding, ofcourse.

mame · 23 Feb 2008 at 00:37

With all those PC's, I would be interested to know how many people live in your house?

Isn't it Traditional to post pics After the instal rather than when you have a few random lappys & crap spread all over the place.
What point am i missing here :confused:

its a kind of man thing. surround yourself with lots of hardware and work on all at the same time.

I suppose its the nearest thing we have to multitasking!

I have taken some pics of me re-imaging and then restoring data on 8 laptop at the same time at work.

Nice spread

You can instantly tell he's not married as there's no way a wife would allow you to work on dusty old comps and put them on the settee never mind on a beige carpet without anything being put down.
