    Ha! Yeah, she's really in to the pink thing, since she lost her best friend to breast cancer a few years back. I got her that for Christmas - its a pink ribbon bag. Thanks for the compliments too - thats not a monitor though, its a 20" iMac

    You shouldn't feel bad, maybe sad but not bad.haha.

    Everyone here has some very very nice setups and computers, it makes me jealous especially the people with more then one laptop and gaming desktop, since i don't have a gaming desktop or laptop YET! hopefully i get one sooner or later, but there are things i really need first. Anyways Nice Setups Everyone!

    I have a secret I would like to share now :eek: I LOVE looking at other peoples setups - its so naughty and vouyeristic :eek: lol

    Actually I am remodelling the house at the moment and spend a lot of time looking at interiors (I adore mid century modern :D ) So excuse the mess here is my current 'setup' - my 'desk' is an old late 60's dining table that needs some TLC, but it works for now until I get something a bit more MCM for my 'office' area. I have moved away from my previous getup of gaming PC rig, lots of black and stainless and am now moving more towards style. (not that you can tell from these images!

    Click to Enlarge ;)

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Thats my Vostro hooked up to the 22" running Windows 7, and the TT with Vista. (The Vostro runs WoW on the external monitor at native 22" resolution at an average of 45-60fps..minus the shadows..hehe) The Vostro spends all its time hooked up externally and on the cooler - although it has ventured elsewhere from time to time. The Vaio goes everywhere with me :cool:

    thanks, all of the accessories except the cooler and mouse are from HP, so they all match up pretty well, except that they have a black version of my printer that i didnt know about. i got all those accessories for free too, since they sent me a defective laptop originally.


    i meant the MS5000 mouse. have you ever heard of it?

    I just crapped myself............

    FDICinsured, you have a crazy set up!

    Now time for my messy/crappy wobbly/ old desktop desk....

    First up, fabulous view of the whole setup... Look at all those ugly wires on the side!
    [​IMG]

    The ghetto 6yrs old desktop, with above an Modem connected to my Asus wireless router, which unfortunately doesn't send out wireless signal.....

    My fabulous ghetto 4yrs old cheap Microsoft keyboard ($18 plus tax!) that replaced my logitech wireless keyboard.

    My workspace... If i had any....

    For some reason they are not displaying the first 2 pics normally? I fixed them on photobucket but they don't appear as it appears in photobucket?

    keyboard 2

    [​IMG]

    So i can have the other speaker on the desk (sucks how it is at the moment for stereo imaging), and have both the M-Audio keyboard and computer keyboard at the same time :lol:

    Oh, dont even mention cable management :lol:

    Yes, it looks like you could use a bit more room. A corner desk might work, or even an added credenza. Look around at home, maybe you can find something that will help, with the added space you need :D

    Your electronic's, they are very nice :D :cool:

    Well, according to the ones in charge they'd rather I didnt get a desk there because they dont want to get rid of the wooden one, and as I'm off to uni (finally, 2 years later than normal heh) they reckon they wont have use for it when i bugger off, and I dont know yet if i will have room for it where I go to uni.

    As a temporary solution i'm thinking some speaker stands to get the speakers in an OK position, seems there isnt much I can do about the keyboard thing though :(

    McGrady, I couldn't see your room in full until now..I just got home..When I viewed the first photo in the other thread, I was at work! :D

    Your set up is just awesome! :D Judging by how you have your shoes placed, you are a tidy person, also? Yes? :D

    Aaah. I understand. Speaker stands might work..Sometimes, when you improvise with what you have ~ it turns' out simply the best! ;) :D

    It's not bad for what you have to work with...I bet once you get into your own place, you will be able to manage all the *wires* much better! :D
