Ummmm, I don't think we're talking about the same type of "strategically placed" . . .

OCD is one thing - if you suffer from that, or claim/want to suffer from that, then that's one thing.

What I'm talking about are the folks that WANT to show up what kind of cell phone, MP3 player, flash drive, wallet and (of course) the keyring with whatever key corresponds to their precious car.

I just think it's kind of funny and tacky when people do that. I have a nice phone and car . . . and other things but the point on this forum (and this thread specifically) is to see what kind of COMPUTER SYSTEM and/or DESK you have . . . not your iphone or whatever. But that's just me . . .

Maybe when I get some time, I'll take some pics of my keys and phone and post them too! ;)

haha, that bugs me too. When people take more pics of their phone then their workstation.

btw, I have OCD too.
 
These aren't of my main rig, but they are of my newest:

From left to right: Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (2.53GHz Pentium 4, 1.25GB of RAM), Mac OS X (2.7GHz Pentium Dual Core, 2GB Corsair XMS), Windows Vista Ultimate (3.4GHz Q6600, 4GB Corsair DHX).

The entire machine cost me $275.
 
The Hackintosh. The Server 2008 box was free (other than the case and PSU, $60. Server '08 was free from a Microsoft event) and the main rig was way too much money.
 
Dorm livin', thank goodness its my last year. Can't justify anything fancy until I'm finished. The Acer Aspire One is the shit though :cool:








 
You can see the letters from that far? As I'm typing right now everything is zoomed 5x. Hahaha.

Here's my dorm set-up so far (No it's not me who's the Steelers fan). Still running off my laptop since I still don't have a case for my build. :mad: I just got the amp the other day so it's not hooked up to anything yet. I'm going to Ikea sometime in the next couple weeks to pick up a shelf and some legs to make a seperate level for my desk (To put my amp underneath and my monitor on top) so hopefully by the time I get that set-up, I'll have speakers and my new case!

Very nice setup, Skyline!

My college computer was a Mac SE20. You guys make me feel old. :p

EDIT: It would be a good idea to put some space between your laptop and amp. You could snag one of these from Amazon...
Place the stand atop the amp; laptop atop the stand.

what you have there looks really clean. however, I might suggest you not keep your heat producing laptop on your heat producing amp. in the long run it will be bad for both.you will definitely know the amp is getting too warm when your sound is distorting for no reason.
 
Thanks guys, lol yeah I'm not planning on running the laptop on top of the amp once the amp is hooked up. I'm just using it as a stand for my laptop right now. I don't think the Pioneer runs as hot as my Denon back home but I don't want to take any chances!

How ironic that you would say that . . . my Klipsch Ultras have blown up for the second time in three years. .

Mine was running for 4 years straight 24/7 cept for the times I'm away for days/weeks. Before that I had a Promedia 2.1, so around 6 years old which my cousin is still using right now.. *shrugs*, not everything is made the same I guess.
 
I just moved into my basement, so I've got tons of room now (12x50 from a 10x10)

That's great for you guys . . . but I'm done with Klipschs for my computer speakers. Having two sets for $400-$500 speakers (or more specifically the amp) blow out in 3 years is just retarded.
 
Running off laptop now.

Well even if we wanted more.. their PC line up's been discontinued.
 
That is why you buy the quintets or the new series that best buy has and a sub 10 and you'll have a rockin' system.
 
Does any one know what desk this is? or of a similar one? If so, where can I buy it? really need a desk that is somewhat circular.
