    Yes, it definitely is, but I'm in a small dorm room, so I am just going to deal with it for the next two weeks, then I will be in my spacious room at home where it fits great.

    Yep, single room, 3 computers, Xbox, HDTV. Next year I'll have a server too. Regrettably, I can't have my dog. I would trade in a lot of this stuff to have her with me.

    You will be thanksful for what you can have in your room.
    My desk in my dorm room is just good enough for my 22" monitor.

    And, your pup'....awwww...what a sweety! :D My good friend Patti has a Husky her name is Kiko, and she has a Mastiff named Kia, here:

    I got 3 desktops in mine right now and 2 laptops but only 2 of the desktops are up and running. The 3rd one was retired.

    I have a triple to myself and I'm not looking forward to moving out.

    The headphones are nice. I have my Siberian, and my mom has a Great Pyrenees, so I know what its like to walk the two dogs with one being quite large.

    @millermagic - you only get to count the computers that work. I suppose you still have more, though.

    One of the working computers is a mini itx ... so that doesn't count either.

    I may try to clean the place up tonight and grab a picture of the setup.

    Well, here's yet another update to The Datamonger's "lair"

    I decided to mount my LCD to my desk and add some more speakers. Sadly, there is not really enough room on my desk for much more than one laptop at a time. I plan on investing in some sort of contraption to add a laptop tray onto my desk.

    It's actually not all that bad. It kind of works out well for me since I like to lean back in my chair. By the way, Siberian Huskies are awesome. I want one, but I can't have one. If I could, I would name him Vladimir.

    I live in brazil and have a husky (believe me... where i live is really hot :p). Huskys are really strong dogs, they can virtually live anywhere lol (mine is already 15 years old :D).

    Just to illustrate, my husky :D

    Cute dog. Most people don't realize that their coats actually keep as much heat out as they do in, so they can actually do alright in places that are hot. I know other places are worse, but where I live it can be below -20F in the winter and above 100F in the summer.

    funny that all the extended screens are turned off. Don't they have any function, or why do some of you place a switched off monitor next to the primary monitor? :p

    The sculptures are probably like 10/15 years old and have a great santimental value to me as I practically grew up watching them every day. :Р
    How does your setup look like?

    Nice! If only my desk was so tidy. I mean I can't live without having at least 10 cables sticking out of everywhere - iPod Touch; camera; printer; LAN cable for my workstation below; mouse; keyboard; mic; speakers; AC adapters for my computer, monitor, printer, router...
    This is part of the reason I bought a notebook. Now I'll probably buy another desk, on which I'll move my workstation so that I free my main desk (the one from my photo) and have it all for my laptop ^^. I like having free space without noise or any other irritating factors (that's the cool thing about our house - it's located in the middle of nowhere...literally!).
