    I dunno when I started using it on the left side, but I just got used to it. And my notebook screen (WUXGA) is actually higher resolution than my external (1080p). :p

    I like to join in this thread every once in a while, here is my setup, although I usually do not keep my laptop there unless I need to do some serious multitasking.

    I see a TapouT shirt. Nice. I got the grey Bushido one with the Red dot from Pride.

    Haha thanks, yeah, lol. Well actually that shirt was a gift. And I just found out that TapouT is a brand of MMA clothing? Oh god. I hate MMA with a burning passion! Oh well, I'll just donate it or something. :p

    Bingo! It's a 58mm Hoya UV Filter, I was changing camera cases.
    Yes, it's an Antec 902, it's a good case, I like it. Has excellent airflow but there are a few things I don't like about it. Namely it's a pain to get at the hard drive cages and air filters because you have to remove like 16 thumb screws (I'm only using 8 now to make it easier) and there is no hole on the back of the motherboard tray to allow for CPU cooler removal/installation without having to remove the whole motherboard. The case could also have featured a few more cable management holes but otherwise it's a good case.

    if you are going to use an external keyboard, at least use something that's better than the laptop keyboard.

    I think he is only using that keyboard because of it's wireless capabilities that's all.

    Yes, I use it just for the fact that it's wireless and to use with the iPad. Quite useful but I don't use it in situations where I have to write a lot. I pull the laptop closer and use its keyboard.

    Beautiful in it's simplicity. I love those sorts of setups, mine is kind of like that. Except I don't have an external keyboard.

    Its not bad though kamilia (Y).

    MSI ftw...a nice mouse, im guessing the other speaker is behind msi (They look of decent quality.) and a nice monitor to go with your laptop :).

    Some people prefer laptop keyboards to desktop ones. I would take a decent laptop keyboard over any high end desktop keyboard any day of the week.

    Im glad Im not the only one who chose green for all my zones. I wish I still had the terra green it shipped with as I like it a little better then this green.
