    it looks intimidation at first. but after a while. it's fine.

    1 screen to read email when the clients reply with the list of images.
    the first screen is usually anthing from outlook, explorer, iexplore or even MCE/TV.
    2,3,4th screen when not retouching, it's for iexplore, nikon viewNX or someother thing.

    this system is strictly a workstation. the only game i have on it is world in conflict. not even vista's default games.

    Not as long as you think, although I deliberately chopped the bottom half of the picture to hide the mess under the desk ;)

    Just a standard set of Logitech X-230, I've been meaning to upgrade to some Acoustic Aegos but I think I'll save some cash and stick with these for the time being.

    actually what's scary is what you dont see. under the laptop.

    underneath has got 2x ultra high cap batteries and 2 internal batteries for a total of 48 cells if i am not wrong.

    as for torture test,
    i have accidentally slipped it into the swimming pool and it has slipped off my trolley down 15 steps of stairs AND dropped it from a shoulder height, all accidents and not intentional. laptop works perfectly.

    Just thought I would add my recent addition of a new desktop.
    Inside it is:
    Athlon X2 2.1Ghz chilled by a Cooler Master Hyper TX (freakin huge and silent)
    2GB RAM
    250GB SATA HD
    20x DVD-RW DL Lightscribe
    18x DVD-RW DL
    Radeon HD3850
    Scythe Kaze Master + 2x 120mm Yate-Loons, very quiet for non-gaming and somewhat quiet when cranked up for gaming.
    All of it stuffed inside a Cooler Master Elite 340 case.

    Wow, most of you have great computer stations ! I am definitely jealous :) Mine is a very simple layout (I would take a picture, but my digital camera is on the fritz). I have my T61 in the center of my desk (an older Bush 72" wood desk), and next to the laptop, I have an HP 2410 all in one printer. Nothing fancy, but I do plan on getting some external speakers, an external flat panel monitor, and maybe a new desktop once I get money to do so :)
    Again, nice set-up's everyone !!

    Why do people have tower cases/computer on top of the table instead of under the desk or beside the desk?

    Is it a preference thing, or just a means to use the extra space on the desktop?

    Cuts down on the dust in all the fans in my case. Keeps the Kaze Master fan control LCD and knobs within eyesight/reach, and the switch for the cold cathodes is closer so I can turn them off when gaming to keep the temps down.
    Plus, its tight and I want it up there on the throne instead on the floor where the servants wander.

    I guess I use to be like that, till I found gaming and watching DVD/TV is better when the computer is out of sight out of mind. :p

    Never had a problem with dust, but you gave a good reason why you do it. Besides...my table is not as big as yours, and a full tower wouldn't fit on it anyway.

    Nice setup! ;)

    I usually dont have a prob with dust, but my school apartment has cheaper carpet that loses its fibers super easy, and they come up in the form of dust that balls quickly inside small parts.
