    See the problem at work is once I start cleaning something pops up like our router fails ( got a new one thank god) or somebodys PC starts running slow. At home I just plain get ADHD distracted. I put something in its place and whats underneath distracts me from my task. I think I need Ritalin again...

    :D I sooo know what you mean. That's pretty much the reason I haven't posted a picture of my desk yet...lol... it's far too messy, and every time I start to clean it, I get distracted by something cool I find while cleaning, and that's it for cleaning.

    Thanks guys, it's taken a lot of research and scanning for deals but I am very pleased with my finished desktop system! Unfortunately I'm still in an apartment so the sub can't be properly run through its paces but from the limited testing I've done so far it's amazing. The clarity and clean flat response of the RP6's is very impressive as well. Now I feel like I need to add some upgrades to my music collection!

    @Kierkes- I've had the MX518 and Saitek for years now, the little pads on the bottom of the mouse are long gone but I refuse to replace it until she dies! Definitely a good combo :)

    but they sound very close.

    Ahhh. Yes. Your team is making rather good use of that player that used to score for my team, eh?

    At any rate, awesome TV. The room's a little cluttered, but it works to a good effect; makes it seem very homey.

    The way around that is a usb sound card plugged into the side and the speaker wires plugged into that. Then you can just switch between the front for headp;hones and the sound card for speakers. I do that, but the sound card has PC speakers and an amp powering full size speakers plugged in :)

    Here are some pics of my old computer room back in the 90's.
    I had a simple network to play the first existing network games at home.
    Online gaming should have been impossible with a 14k4 connection at that time. :eek: :D

    This is my desk I am currently working on...not finished. I used an old door for the top of it. I will update the pics when I am done. I eventually want it where no cables are visible and some lighting shooting up on the back of it. Need some more monitors 2 :p
