My shiny new desktop

My shiny new desktop
« on: March 11, 2009, 10:29:44 PM »
So based on a post I read over at Lifehacker, I decided to mod my desktop just a wee bit...



The original one that I got the idea from can be found here: http://lifehacker.com/5168329/the-speed-freak-desktop

I'm thinking of doing a different model of the Shelby GT500KR, or photoshopping the color a little bit to something that fits the theme a bit better.

The desktop elements used are:
rocketdock(to replace the start menu)
Samurize(the cpu stats via the speedometer)
Vista Gadgets (the weather, notepad, and shutdown buttons)
Trillian(the IM client, I would've gone with Digsby, but wasn't really sure how the skinning worked, and Trillian was more readily available at the time...)

My desktop with XP craps out if I try anything remotely as cool as this, as for buying the car, if I could afford it, I totally would. That car is worth more than my entire video game collection.  [asia]

I like XP too, but my laptop happened to come with Vista bundled. I guess I could've waited till Windows 7 was released, but oh well. It works. ^_^
