My work station. I see others post there stuff and finaly wanted to show the tools i use to work on not just art but networking and gaming.
Wacom 21 cintiq tablet for the monitor and then a self built machine on windows 7.
8 gegs of ram on an asus main board with a quad core 9600 amd dual 9800 GTX nvida graphics cards.
Programs are painter 10 photoshop cs3 OC and then a crapload of admin tools to deal with remote managment of microsoft and linux servers. DHCP DNS AD SMB ect programs like RDP putty and the many other MCC plugins you need for microsoft.
GAMES! games are fun! I have somethething like 100+ games from doom 3 to civ 4 half life 2 star craft 1 and 2 diablo serries worms list goes on and on.
My thoughts on windows 7. Its better then windows vista thats for sure at only half the hw requierment. It has some nice deployment features with windows deployment server but for a bussniss setting my vote would still go for windows xp to get the job done.
edit ment to add "any fellow geeks out there? Im more client/server side geek then coding and such but I do know some coding. let talk geek!

Very nice this is the little monster in my tank XD http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4466252/ typr 2 pose for het. dwarf red tail anery boa. Hes a lil sweet heart that loves my hats.
There's no way I'd advise any company to use Windows XP on a new computer. Windows 7 has vastly better security, enterprise features and the simple fact it's been shown to consume less power than Windows XP. The argument above that XP uses less memory is moot when it's hard to find a new computer today with less than 1GB installed and many low-end systems are shipping with 4GB+.
thats if were talking about a company that is getting newer resourses. When you ask a company that has about 150 computers that are 6 to 8 years old to suddenly start buying all new hardware just to get to windows 7 the price tag can get costly quick. so far most companies I have worked for all have 4 to 8 year machines. Ive put in a EOL policy but it wont start cycling out the machines for another year. That and this company has invseted hevaly on the security based on your routers fire walls and filters. So its also hard to justify the security part of windows 7 when most of the threats are delt with dedicated hardware. So those are other things to weigh in on. If your getting new machines then sure but for companies that are already established its harder to argue the price tag that comes with having to upgrade older equipment. Though we are doing a role out on windows 7 for one of the departments by 2011.
nods, yea the bad thing that alot of people dont know is that M's 32 bit 4 gb limitation isnt just to its main board ram. It counts your vidio ram as well so it only lets you use 3.5 geg ram and then of course your .5 vid ram. You have to jump over to there 64 bit os to utalize it all or go up to 16 geg.
you dont use halon any more for computer rooms or air craft so on unless its a very spacific use. Halon is a heavy gas that is extreamly dangerous in closed spaces like server rooms. Its better to use a dry fire retardent or so use distilled water but with that you still have the chance of conductive materials getting into it after its sprayed leaving it to short out some of the equipment.
