    I just spent 6 hours cleaning my PC-area.
    Found 29$, a hole in the wall(????), and 2 dvds with "AwesomePossum" written on them.

    Fun times.

    everyone has their own way of being organized, i can just find things a lot easier with a messier room. and i usually put all papers i need in my backpack, or right on top of a spot i rarely use. my dad is kinda the same, he doesn't like things messy, but he's in a hurry a lot and it just happens. and i bought my own notebook.

    That comfy chair would go well with a skullcap alienware laptop. I thought your gateway was a m15x at first glance.

    That's my Blast from the Past corner with my very first computer. A Radio Shack Tandy 64k Color Computer. I was surprised it still worked after all these years, so I kept it as well as the old school floppy disk drive that came with it.

    Thanks the lights were nice, I took them down cause they were just a waste of energy.

    The shiny layer under my keyboard is a custom made light box artograph.

    Thanks, the key in having a nice and clean computer desk is to have another desk to throw your mess. I didnt take picture of the messy desk.

    Thanks, my room had a nice blue glow but I had to take it down. Actually, if you look back and look at JASON, he had a better lighting layout. I got inspired err I imitated his setup.

    One thing to do if you want to have the same glow in your room is to paint your wall white so that light gets reflected not absorbed. Make sure cathode tube is not directly visible while letting some light leak.

    Thanks

    Thanks, if it look like something from the future it would probably have some kind of 3d holographic monitor.

    I have a Canon SD1100 IS, but manually adjusted color later (slightly). You can probably tell with the monitor in the first page slightly warm, and my lights aren't that yellow. :)

    I also like that. Obviously like you said you after touched the photo to make it seem more warm, but the setup does have a relaxing feel to it. It fits the whole rest of the look, the lamps, the photo on the wall, all artistic in a way.

    I love alot of the other setups in here. Very clean and elegant. Most people's computer rooms/desks I've seen in person are piled with random papers, trash, cans/bottles all around the floor etc.

    My place is always kept clean and open, I can't stand someone even placing a pen on my desk, I don't know how some of these people do it..
