    Ok, I guess it didn't want to work. Here it is. After I have cleaned my desk off and have my laptop on it, I'll take a new one. I'll also be sure to take pics of what will eventually be my uber-setup after I get my new desk.

    Man, I put up my old, outdated setup and then scottbenntt just kicks me in the groin with his nice LCD. Oh well, I can still say that I have 50lbs of CRT awesomeness.

    Yeah, I do prefer Pepsi over Coke. I get Coke for free since we sell it at work, so that's where the 2 liter came from.

    @scottbenntt
    I actually have five laptops. On top of that, I also have five, soon to be six, desktops. The HP that's on my desk, a Power Mac G3, an old Gateway tower, a dual Pentium III custom system, and a Macintosh LCII. On Christmas Day, I will be getting a custom built HP.

    Yeah, three of the laptops just sit in my closet collecting dust. One has a dead hard drive, the iBook has a G3 processor in it which can't do much, and the third one is just too old in general. The Eee PC mainly serves as an internet radio machine.

    I guess both wodstock and I kind of see the same way when it comes to outdated notebooks. My Dell and Eee PC are normally used while my two Compaqs and iBook are rarely used. I may turn them on every once in a while just to make sure they still work. That's about it.

    I have 5 lying around the house, a 5 year old Toshiba Tecra, a 3 year old Compaq, an IBM T60, a Dell Latitude D830 and an Acer Aspire 8930G. The latter cost more than the first 3 put together times 2 :p

    Here is my parents study. That's their new computer I recently built for them. The video card on the desk is their 8800GS, I'm currently testing out my GTX 260 since I have no working PC at the moment. :(

    Thanks. I figured since they paid for my college tuition, that I could at least help upgrade their old computer.

    My current PC (it isn't entirely assembled yet) would have been ready by this weekend but I accidentally stripped the threads on my Swiftech GTZ. So I have nothing to cool my CPU, other than the crappy Intel stock heatsink which I'm not going to install. Bleh!

    I have no idea, unfortunately.

    But hey, at least I have a couple of working computers (parents PC, server, and netbook). :eek:

    Hopefully I'll get a replacement soon because I ordered a lot of games for this Winter Break and I plan to use them! My college spring classes are going to be hectic, need something to help ease my stress. :rolleyes:
