    I got mine for free! My dad bought them and didn't really understand what they were for, then I found them in the attic.

    Going to hell for this probably, but.... you see that 36" Sharp TV I'm using as a second monitor?

    Guilty. :/ Can you tell I'm due for a new laptop?

    Thanks. It took me a day to figure out on how I wanted to setup my game room.

    However, my Acer Aspire 5740G laptop just died on me today. I am sending it back for repairs. So my laptop cart will be empty for about a month. =/

    The Acer Aspire 5740G laptop was great while it worked. There were only a few issues with it, but I didn't expect it to die on me in less than a month. Maybe, I got a bad lemon. When Acer finds out what the problem is. I will post back on updates.

    Nice, but I would look into corner reflectors made from cardboard box corners and laminated with tinfoil if you want to direct your signal in one direction for more gain.

    There is the thread of my last personal desktop build. Clear PC cases are awesome if you do it right and maintain the cleanliness of the case. Every time I see this thread I want to rebuild mine. I have a linux box that I could rip open and throw the guts in but Im worried about the shuttle proprietary motherboard design.

    I also HAD that keyboard (DP<<), until I spilled beer all over it (which is why I use an external keyboard and not my laptop), then to dry it out i put it in front of my fireplace, where I forgot about it and it melted :(

    Now I have a new logitech Illuminated keyboard that I like better :)

    My computer room at home looks like someone launched there a MIRV loaded with computer parts and paperwork.

    I've also lost the memory card for my camera so I have a good reason not to start cleaning yet :p
