Show us your workstation!

continue from my last posts :
new tablet notebook computer to replace my old desktop computer.

connections (descriptions and explanations):
1. micro USB3.0 socket on the display panel with the original OTG short extension cable (convert to normal USB socket : OTG cable is only used as USB2.0 connection by the specification so Window control-panel shows) in order that buy a USB2.0 4ports hub is connected. it is fine to work with all 4 devices on the all 4 ports on the hub.

2. keyboard docking station is actually a primary USB2.0 composite device for the tablet notebook computer (display panel). when a USB2.0 4ports hub (secondary USB device) is connected to the station's USB2.0 socket, which is not working with any USB devices (tertiary) on the hub : electric current (Amperes) is not enough but using USB3.0 4ports hub is working with 2 USB devices : a USB-to-LAN and my old low-profile USB cable mouse (new USB cable mouse requires larger Amperes so it is not working with my USB-to-LAN together on the hub connections).

the coming weekend:
as the USB3.0 4ports hub (has micro-B SuperSpeed socket) comes with a micro-B SuperSpeed plug to normal USB3.0 plug cable, so a micro-B plug to micro-B SuperSpeed plug cable is required to make use the USB3.0 function on the micro USB3.0 socket. (try to find this cable in the market and then test it in the future).

---
maybe buy some old-model (low-profile) devices for spare parts and buy some USB-to-(specified function) devices for future expansions but must be plug-and-play (no drivers is required to install the hardware as tablet notebook computer does not have DVD-rw drives).

Tell my design interior, i want like this



But end like this

My old station before I went back to desk as I needed drawers for my mess

Toy is a kind of tools.


where an ADSL modem is raised for cooling by my normal electric fan.
(maybe a computer-type electric box fan underneath the modem, will have a better cooling result.).
---
The below is a vertical mouse (an USB cable-connection type only).

back to basic-deck toy.
one for ADSL modem;
and one for wireless router (the cheapest in the shopping centre).

---
one more, lowest deck for computer cooler (saw this name which is called in computer shopping centre : computer-type box electric fan : buy later if found suitable).

---
take this photo with decking-up the speaker pair boxes and the lower speaker box is turned its back to front-side (USB-powered speaker pair).
reasons :
1. the circular hole on the front plastic case-cover allows to put a whole ear through (enough length for ear not touching the speaker's surface) so that the speaker pair can act like a good quality headphone with a comfortable low sound-volume.
2. the back of the speaker box is made of circular vibratable membrane to enhance the sound quality.

Finally, bought a notebook cooler and put ADSL modem on its surface horizontally.
and bought an USB power adapter for its power-supply (and others USB powered devices : e.g. speakers, and charging uses).

notebook cooler:

after using it, the modem power-supply's temperature is lower than that of before.
maybe will buy one more to make a "modem-sandwich" for heavier-cooling (one on top and one on below).

upside-down view with a 8-ports USB power adapter:

---
Specifications of the USB power adapter:

Total electric current of 8-ports is 8000mA, is quite big as the package said this is for ultra-speed charging on smartphone usage (about 2000 to 2100mA).
(input from mains with 210mA only.)
but is very hot on its surface.

I heard that some kinds of glasses to prevent blue-ray entering the eyes emitting from LED display.
Please advise this phenomenon in details : I am not sure about this.
Is the pair of glasses useful?

As some previous posts on this thread show many LED-monitors/LED-TVs on their workstations, did they wear the glasses to protect their eyes currently?

and other members, who wears it at this moment (how is the feeling? the different on your life's quality : sleep better at night?)?
(if good, maybe later buy a pair of this glasses.)

what about LED light-bulbs or similar?!

I want to make my old desktop PC to connect with wireless network.
So I bought an USB wireless adapter.

I try to connect it but it did not work (connect the USB port on the front panel of my computer's case).
I thought the cable of the product might have a problem (as the product was manufactured several years ago).
So that I bought another cable for it but still not work.
So I connect the adapter with an USB3.0 hub as a buffer, then it is working now.

As I mentioned the front panel's USB port which is already connected to an extension cable from motherboard.
And the 1.5M cable from the adapter is come with the product, which may not have enough electric current : I finally thought this afterward.

oh，my god

Range Extender for a wireless network is only useful for lower-floor living people to extending to outdoor when leading the antenna outside windows.
(just like the centre of a sphere with 100 feet diameter using 9dbi antennas but is also affected by traffic as well : only good for countryside).

now use cable-ties to hang the range extender on a windows frame (only need power supply to connect : not good for rainy days).

(joke -> of course, can put the extender into plastic bag & throw out of window {still connect the cable of the indoor power supply with the mains : better say the extender is "hanging" and still sticking on the window's frame only} for better signal but surely normally I did not do it yet yet yet, maybe sooner or later have a try {kidding}, heihei......, forget the above imagination or maybe call it a day-dream.).

finally, stop using it and pack it back : signal is not strong enough for me so that the extender now acts as a spare router for future use only (the device can be used as a router/range-extender/access-point.).

Please tell me some good forex apps of your local country (no problems for the language) for android phone so that i can add it to my phone.

Here is my Trading/Development station.

Get f.lux mate. Works really well and it's free...

My workstation, during European / N. American session.

Vesa mounted Asus UN65, Matrox dualhead2go digital driving 3 x 24" screens, completed with a crystal ball and sheltie.

Asian session / slow market work station: Samsung series 9 lappie & 46" screen.

Current workstation, until next year.
Only trading London open because Inmarsat bills are sky high :-/

LuXing

Where's that boat sitting, Lux? Show the boat too....

....jealous.

So many people have so many screens. For all those new traders out there it is more than possible to trade with one screen. I must admit that I have 3 but I only really use 1 95% of the time.

Hey there, hope all is well ?

I'm sailing one of these (it's not mine) across with a FX trader friend, as a favour for a wealthy investor.

Currently sitting about 750 nautical miles NE of St. Vincent in 35 knot gusts, heading for Ibiza. First port of call Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Trade safely !

Cheers,
LuXing

nice, thanks, mate.

Thank a lot.
(maybe need weeks for fine-tuning.)
