    I need to move my setup to my ice cold basement, things would run much better with the 20 degree temp difference in the summer.

    To those that liked my setup thanks. I bought the whole desk unit from Ikea(under $300 for the whole desk I believe) They do make it in a lighter color but the dark was more to my liking for the room. Gray Granite walls and such. My Wife painted the artwork so its was nice and inexpensive. :)

    I would like to clean up some cables more though, they can be a bit messy but I eliminate a few systems from that room now so that in itself has cleaned things up.
    I had a custom built old style chest computer hooked up and a ultra small form factor Dell in there serving some files but now those are unplugged and ready for decommissioning so good by cables from them.

    My rather messy computer room, we moved in during April, but we do not plan to stay here for a long time, so we have not unpacked everything and I'd rather not put a lot of effort on making the room look pristine...

    Overview:

    [​IMG]

    Photos:

    1.- Overview of the room, photo taken from the entrance of the room.

    2.- Overview of the work / gaming area.

    3.- Overview of the computer and lower part of the desk.

    4.- Overview of the whole desk.

    5.- Overview of the T.V and Nintendo Wii & Accessories.

    6.- The Almighty wall of boxes.

    7.- Computer, Razer Lycosa Keyboard and Razer Lachesis Mouse.

    8.- Razer Lycosa Keyboard and Razer Lachesis Mouse overview.

    9.- Random sign I found next to a Radio-Cell-Phones shop.

    Rather messy, don't you think? ^^;;

    Thanks! :D Yes, it is, but the other 2 rooms are filled with boxes, and one of them is where my grandma is gonna stay for about 3 weeks, so I can't fill it with boxes... yet!

    The Keyboard is a Razer Lycosa (modded to fix a Random-Lights-Cycling problem with the touchpad that was loose (has a button to switch between WASD Cluster Illumination, Whole Keyboard Illumination and No Illumination)), so I voided the warranty :(, and the Mouse is a Razer Lachesis, it works very good, once you get used to the high DPI (currently set at 4,000 DPI) and the high interpolling rate (currently set at 1,000 Hz), it is very comfortable to use.

    The macbook is for working and studying. XPS M1330 is for light gaming when i'm on travel. Toshiba A205-S4777 is kind of backup system :D
    BTW: It's rarely seen a Sager in Vietnam.

    Nice setup. Although at one point I had 5 rigs running at once, that was back in the single core days and most werent HT or Hyper transport PCs. Now with my 12in single core and 17in dual core I find it hard to max two rigs out at a single time. I mean Im an avid power user but damn you have alot going on there.

    Usually, I have at least 3 PCs running in my room, one for work, one for downloading stuffs (like torrents) and one for entertainment (gaming, watching movies or listening to music...). Sometimes, i have to do reviews on new hardwares, there may be 4-5 or even 6 PCs running at the same time.

    See I don't have a problem doing all that on one rig (the vostro) without a single hiccup in speed. Granted if I wanted to game AND watch a movie at the same time Ill do multitask on the dell and watch the movie on the averatec. Maybe if I was working there would be three going at a time, but then again I wouldnt be gaming if I was working :p.

    edit: I guess you could say 3 since my phone is truely a PC.

    [​IMG]

    It may be a bit hard to tell from the crappy picture, but it's hooked up to a:

    HP W2207
    2 external HDD's (total of 1.5TB)
    Logitech Dinovo desktop set for notebooks
    VX Revolution
    cheap Wintech 2.1 speaker system
    Logitech ChillStream (not in the picture)
    DBV-T tuner (not in the picture, but thats what the black wire on the right goes up to)

    Thanks. Yeah, it's the 22" model with DVI and VGA, no HDMI, and i'm very very happy with it. I bought a Samsung T200HD first, but i didn't like the colors and i just couldn't get used to the mate finish of the screen, so i returned it and took this HP home with me instead. I do have one dead (black) pixel, but HP e-mailed me that i can send it in for a repair/trade. I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble for me though (i have to be home a whole day because they can't give an exact time when they'll have it picked up)since i barely notice it most of the time.

    Not only the screen image is beautiful, but the adjustable stand is really handy and well designed.

    @ Drummer101 - I get that alot, but the tilt isn't as dramatic as the picture indicates.

    @ N00d13s - I love my speedpad, it's awesome. I also owned the last model, the n50, which was nice. The n52 is a tad more comfortable but uglier IMO. If you can find a deal on the n52te, by all means get one.

    Finally finished setting up my new desk and I love the new setup. No room for the Macbook Pro...it's got it's own little desk to the side, but this is my new workspace. The monitor on the left is also driving my PS3 and the little box on the left side of my monitor is a dual TV Tuner, so I can see myself spending much more time at my desktop now.
