    This thread is good inspiration/motivation for keeping my corner clean ;) lol

    Anyways, here's my latest arrangement:

    My lappy has it's own cozy lil niche complete with a CM Notepal Infinite and it's own portable WD 500GB Hard Drive (useful for when I pack it up and drive down to school). Can you guess which site is being displayed on the screen? :p

    Pic #2 is really the highlight, because that hutch/shelving unit let me get everything centralized and somewhat organized. Does a great job of masking my disorganized cable management too ;) It's not exactly that deep though, so after getting my Apollo centered, I found it necessary to prop up the front (pic # 3) lol

    The rest I just through in for good measure.

    Ordered the pieces for an upcoming build and due to the case (Antec 1200) being a tad bit too tall, am going to slide the hutch over and set it up on something in between that and the set of drawers.

    Several pieces you see in the various pics (Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse/Speakers) are all set to be replaced in the next few weeks too, making yet another round of pics necessary ;)

    Huskerz85 - that JVC speaker is ginormous... does it actually sound good or is it more just for show? Also, why is there only one? It's part of a stereo CD system isn't it?

    @Cin--Thanks! :D


    It's one of two speakers (the left one obviously) belonging to this all-in-one/mini home-theatre I've got:
    (JVC HX-D77)

    I don't mind it really. I personally think it's a lot of space-- I probably just need to buy more pictures/art stuff to make it feel less solitary.

    I like it! That's a great what I shall call *multi-purpose* room! :D
    You could prob's make it look a little bigger, if you put some artwork on the wall to the left of your chair! ;) (if you wanted).

    Nice, neat and clean!... :D

    That will be cool! In the meantime...for *low cost* decor' you can take some of the books & knick knacks you have on your bookcase and put them on the empty shelf on the above left..to open up the room more if you wanted. ;)

    There are lots of things you can do to spruce up a room....for nominal cost *out-of-pocket* :D

    @Huskerz:

    Ah there's the other speaker!

    It's funny how a previous poster thought your computer was an Alienware because I've always thought the NZXT cases looked like Alienwares at first glance :p It's like they copied them or something.

    I agree with you 100% on that Cin. You gotta work with what you have. If you can't afford something, no matter how minor it is, then don't get it.

    Man that's the camera I really wanted to upgrade to last year... I'm still using an old 5mp FZ20. The image quality is good but the sensitivity only goes up to ISO 400... just awful for low-light shots.
