    You make me jealous...I wanted a 1730 but didnt have the proper time to save.

    Yeah it could have been set on the crappiest desk in a run down house full of roaches and Id say its a nice setup. :p

    Where do you go to college to get a nice room like that? I got a rundown room with (presumably) no heat.

    Just a quick snapshot of my setup, I have my 6860, a Targus ChillMat, Logitech L3 mouse, Belkin USB Hub and some ten year old Boston (?) speakers.

    and also a WD 320 GB External Disk along with 480 GB inside the laptop

    Just moved into my "Dorm room." It's not quite perfect but I will tweak it as I "break it in." I'm trying to get Windows Media Center working between my PC and 360 so that I can use the Tivo functionality of my PC w/ my TV. I also need to pick out some new speakers, otherwise my insignia's will have to do (when I find time to set them up).

    Madden 09 FTW. :D

    That's a John Seabers built cMoy BB 2.0 headphone amp, it's a very nice/simple/cheap little unit. It's must if you have a set of mid-range headphones. :)

    I was browsing eBay when I came across it- there are lots of pre-built amps there, but John is an electrical engineering student who designed and built his own PCB and now sells them "on the side" as he goes to school- great guy who knows what he's doing. :)

    Here are some sites to get you started:

    http://jseaber.com/cMoy/

    http://www.head-fi.org/ (Careful at this one, it's a renowned money magnet of a site :D)

    Feel free to e-mail John if you have any questions- he has great customer service.

    This is my current setup, the two monitors are connected to a PC (not in picture) that is stowed away in the cabinet that says "danger" on it, and the laptop and PC are connected by a KVM switch. I'd post a picture with more of my current room but I don't want to make the forum think I'm crazy with all my guns & knives, haha.

    Im not a dell nut but the XPS line has always made me all giddy inside. Yeah it is a nice tablet but I also like the wacom screen in my hp :p

    Foo_ball: Where do you go to school? Around here its unheard of to have a dorm room to yourself. In fact right after I graduated they started forcing juniors and seniors to live off campus.

    Nice, could you tell me how you did that? And where you can buy 'new' (I presume that can be true) satellites?

    University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. I am in the "upper-classmen" housing this year, I had planned on off campus living, but the renter didn't have the place ready by the time I needed it. I have a decent room all to my own, I share a bathroom and kitchen with another buddy of mine. It's a lot better than the housing I've experience on campus but they certainly charge a premium for having your own room. It'll do for this year, grad school will be interesting.

    Nice thread, went through the pages quickly but I'll look in more detail later on. Here's my modest setup... need to do something about the wiring, but I generally love a clean minimalist setup.

    Really? I own a little over 20 guitars, but never could get into Schecter. Not saying they aren't nice, but they have a cheap selection of hardware, and there stock pick-ups are ridiculously lousy. But, I guess the "higher-end" models that come with the EMG Actives could be nice. (EMG Passives are hilarious)

    Anyway, that is a nice setup!

    Well, I've only been playing for a few years. My C1 Blackjack has Seymour Duncan pickups in it.

    I absolutely live how the guitar feels and plays... of course, my dad setup the guitar, so it's a lot nicer than it was when it came from the factory. Still, for a ~$500 guitar, I think it's wonderful.

    Im perfectly fine with 2 laptops, hopefully soon Ill get off my lazy butt and frankenstien my old averatec into a home server.

    to 360gamer:

    Your lucky books only cost you $600, mine were usually 800-$1000+. I usually spent $200 per class, and my junior and senior years I was taking 6-7 classes a semester so do the math on that :p.

    Not really Tidus in particular. I was in China and they had some cheap wall scrolls so I picked some up (final fantasy, bleach, video game/anime ones like that). I'm hoping to buy some better ones soon.

    Somewhere in this thread there's a pick of my home "jam-room". The studio we own has collectively a little over 120 guitars, not including the other equipment. I acquired most on tour, but a few just purchased around town.

    Maybe I could get a picture of the storage, though this is a thread about "Computer Rooms".

    Thanks guys. Its a Schecter C1 Jolly Roger. I believe it was a limited edition special on Musiciansfriend.com, as you can't really find them anymore. It came loaded with an active EMG 81-85 set for $500. Can't beat that. :cool: I've got it hooked up to a POD XT Live for recording.

    Not a bad deal. I too use a PodXT Live for home jamming. Love the Vintage Amp pack. Have you tried any of the Amp Packs? You can pick both the Metal and Vintage pack up for $100. Pretty good deal.
