    Well, your shoes give away that you could potentially be *tidy*, then! :D

    Ha! I keep my wires together with a scarf! ;) It doesnt look bad!

    Improvising works well, when you need it too! lol.

    Have not seen one of these threads up in a while and they are always a bunch of fun to see what everyone uses for their setup. So, ill start it off with mine.




    This is me, being cool in my dorm.
    [​IMG]



    And because i didnt bring my camera i only have pictures of my home setup but its basicly the same just that my replaced m1730 is blue not white and i keep my big monitor at my dorm now and have an acer f-22 at home, o and yea my exactmat sorta wore out on the speed side so i bought a Mantis speed which is basicly the same thing as a Qck+ Heavy and its quite large.

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]


    So there ya go, thats what i play with lets see what the rest of your shiny XPS laptops and setups look like(Heard there are some nice paintjobs on m1330's). Post em' up!

    Finally took some pics, but i have a crappy camera.

    I just use 2 old tv stands, with the shelves and wheels removed, as a desk because the other desk i have is too high for me. Then there is some stuff stacked up on the right with a shelf put on top, i also use the air conditioner as a shelf, and a dresser on the right wall that has all my wires, disks, boxes, cases, tools, and random parts.

    Legs? What legs? No, there's more room than it looks and the tray is only about halfway pulled out.

    One of the things I'd change about our setup is to attempt to hide all the cords that you can see in the first pic. There's about 6 cords snaking along that wall, connecting the computer to the stereo and tv.
