    Hey, welcome to NBR and the forums!

    And, Oh....your room is quite nice :D Love those hardwoods for the flooring!
    And, the way you have things setup thus far, it works! :D

    Your desk is cool! :D

    I think you can survive in that room, also! ;)

    Enero, be forewarned. You're going to have a jolly old time routing cables. Go find mine some pages back. The whole closed desk thing makes it really hard when you want to move stuff.

    I thought I may join in...
    The laptop on the right is a 3 years old Medion one on which I ruined the keyboard with coffee - its a USB jkeyboard now (16 Pounds vs 100€ on a years old machine that had originally cost 999€ ;)
    The middle laptop is my Sony SZ71VN/X

    The IKEA Ivar in the back hold 3 external HDDs, one external CD/DVD drive (the one in the Medion laptop broke and was later replaced under warranty)
    The two glasses are clean (just brought the up, so I'll have them for Pepsi and some orange/apple juice in the evening to come.
    The glass with the spoon is from a coffee I just brought upstairs...
    And else its a bit messy - but this is my setup :-D
    (By the way - remote controlled socket under the table - one for all devices)

    My desk - hmm, that's been with me quite a while - 10 years at least I would guess :D

    Thanks :)

    Lived in - possibly. But at the same time not really personal.

    By the way - you may detect a Bonsai on the left on the Windowsill :D

    Hmm - a lot of plants don't do well along my side either...

    My Bonsais are with me for a few months now - I think they are surviving :)
    Poor things - they have to accept me...

    I will have an update soon when I get my desk moved to where I want it in my house, along with my new Netbook on it :D ;)

    I will reattach here for you now! ;)

    Nice Cin.
    Very nice contrast - the oldish desk and the rgg timer vs the laptop.

    I don't think my table will ever look like that... - the wood is sufering already...
    (Humidity I think... or dry air...)

    Thanks, Detlev..that desk is an antique (so I'm told)! I found it by accident..I dropped by The Salvation Army...and saw this sitting there. I opened up the drawer and found the Furniture Maker stamp in the bottom of the drawer...I called a friend, and he said *buy that now, at that price, apparently they don't realize the value* :D And, so I did! :cool:

    I adore that desk. :D

    I hope so too..I've been looking for a nice comfy computer chair, that will blend with it. But I want an *eclectic wood* type one..and maybe I'm being to *fussy*. I want to be able to throw some pillows on it.. :D Some chairs are to large, like the one I use now ~ so I throw a few small throw pillows on it, and I'm good-to-go! :D

    Thanks guys~! :) Yeah, i was really hesitant posting a pic of my desk because it was so messy.... thanks to Cin, she motivated me to clean my desk :p
    Actually, i've got 3 kinda new lappys right now :) 2 Asus U6, and 1 Asus G71G. I've got an old dell somewhere in my room too, but it's not picture worthy :eek:

    It's looking really good..I like your set up, and all your electronic's! :D

    Those Logitech Speakers are sweet~! :D How well do you like them??

    Oh, you can get ties, tubes, etc. to straighten out the cable/wire problem :D

    Me, I used a *scarf* of mine, and twisted it around all the cables/wires, and it worked out great! :D Out of sight, out of mind, I say! :yes:

    Very nice set up. I thought I should mention, however, you would get alot better sound if you put that sub woofer on the floor and maybe in a corner facing the wall. This will allow the "indirect" low frequences to ingulf you in the way the speaker is designed. Plus, you'll have more table top space! :)

    Yeah, it was under the table but there was no enough space for feet :D, and I was always kicking the front of subwoofer. I just love Z-2300...can´t imagine better 2+1 speakers in that price...

    I agree, Z-2300 owns for the ~$100 price point. Especially for bass-y music. I just wish the satellites had dedicated tweeters. I'd be willing to pay $150 if they did.

    Mi familia moved into a new house in October, I no longer share a room with my brother. I have the Inspiron and the EEE while he has his Vaio SR.

    BTW, the EEE is never on the desk, I am always using it in bed. :D

    You know, the pic actually makes it look rather thin. Then you look over at the mouse; it's just slightly taller than the computer lol.
