    Great setup guys and girls! Mine's pretty lame. Just my laptop wherever I am (usually just sitting on my bed). Perhaps I'll post a picture when I'm at my internship site and when I head back to school.

    I can't see some of the pics attached to posts. Is there a user setting that I need to change in order to be able to view? I know this probably isn't the proper place to ask this. Thanks for the help!!

    The only reason for me keeping this thing, is because it is so darn tough! I threw it across the living room and nothing happened to it! I also dropped it at school, and it still worked!

    Wow. Impressive. Wish my Toshiba could withstand something like that, lol. I'm afraid the case would split or something though...

    Are you using a Z-2300 subwoofer with Z-5500 satellites, or something?

    That is the box the laptop came in with a hole for the fan to breathe.

    Nice. Not often that you see an old style M15x as well. And that desktop build looks pretty beastly. A Corsair 800D case?

    Here she is -- replacement for my MS-1651 that died in new and interesting ways. Specs in sig.

    Peripherals:

    -- HP WSXGA monitor (useless because the lappy is WUXGA :p)
    -- Logitech MX Revo mouse
    -- Logitech z680 speakers!

    Love this setup... but that desktop LCD seems a little small, given that you got a 17 inch LCD on a laptop.

    Thanks! :) well, I don't really have any money, so the LCD is a carryover from my old desktop. I use the 1920x1200 laptop for iTunes and the 20 incher for everything else. How stupid is that?

    I see you have the red m17x. Definitely something I would like, but I can't afford much more than an m11x when I upgrade my notebook. Nice way of having things organized, by the way.

    Few years ago before I took over a family business I was pretty Hardcore into Lineage 2, hence the screens in the pic of my old Computer room.

    I would generally triple box my 3 accounts at the same time.

    My current setup is:

    M17X R2: Nebula Red, I7 620M, 4GB 1066 RAM, 500GB HD Raid 0, Radeon HD 5870, 1920x1200 RGB, with Altec Lansing THX Certified MX5021 speakers.

    Inspiron 9300: Core 2 Duo 2Ghz, 2GB 677 RAM, 100GB HD, GeForce 6800, 1920x1200 LCD.

    Desktop: P4 3.2Ghz (Northwood), 2GB 533 RAM, 1.5 TB HD, 7800 Ultra, Samsung 1920x1200 LCD

    Yes! I normally have it on my chair, but I decided to move it onto the table so it would be visible. That was the only place available... (Also if you cannot tell, I live in the same room as that computer)

    This is my humble setup. I am still looking for a better headset solution. To get into ventrillo I need to unplug the Logitech speakers, plug in the headset, change the sound card output settings and restart WoW. I am very close to ordering a USB/Wireless headset to make the switch only in software. If the change were easier, I would likely use voice communication in more games.

    NBR has helped from my first notebook 4 years ago to my current one so I thought I'd give back. Before anyone comments on the pillows I share my bedroom with my fiancee :p and alas, our bedroom is our workplace/media room/office/gaming room (when she's not around :) )

    I have had this setup (lack of a devoted desk) for these four years and I am glad to say it suits me well. I guess I like lounging while trying to be productive haha.

    I guess debating which side is my side of the bed is a moot point :rolleyes:
