The Nerdiest Desktop Setup of All Time [Video]
This is, without question, the nerdiest desktop setup ever. Looks like it’s put together with Rainmeter and… not sure what else. You’ll see lots of close-ups of various system stats and other gadgets all over the desktop. One has to assume the rotating images are a video of some type, possibly using DreamScene.

You have no idea how much i want that setup
theme used is called
Midnight_Glass_Nature_Theme_by_MrGRiM01 on deviantart
although Im not a star trek fan…i still love it!
haha .. awesome mate :D
Love it, but it would literally be eating up CPU and RAM
Nice for show-off, not for personal use ;)
Freakin awesome I so want that setup :)
Correction:
While one can assume that the rotating images are video being run using DreamScene, the most resource-effective method would be to use an animated “.gif” file (or three). If the individual frames were a high enough resolution & the transitions were smooth enough, it could very easily be the quality shown.
And not a Tribble in site :)
Tsk, LN… That would be “…and no tribble a’ tall.”
LH! Danmed self-correct. :-0
Nerdiest?? where?? it is just a dreamscene called “enterprise” and rainmeter in multiple monitor ok! what’s new with that????
My desktop has a picture of two flowers of Tennessee Sensation daylily. I took it in late spring after our very late bloom season. My laptop has a photo of two flowers of Diamond Shadows daylily. It was a new acquisition last winter. Both photos were taken by me.
Alzheimers is kicking in – Is that music from “Blade Runner”?
It looks amazing and all. But.. it’s really kinda stupid that he’s running windows with that nerdy setup.
