    well

    I like my desk clean and when i have work(at this point the only work I have been doing is summer homework for AP biology for senior year) I have a shelf for all my papers on one of my bookcases

    haha everything that I like or have an interest in has to be perfectly organized with nothing wrong with it or I can't stop thinking about it. For example I bought this iphone case for my iphone 3g, very good case and all, except mine has a 'slight' little click noice and it shakes if you press it on the top left corner, haha the only way you wwould really notice this is if you were looking for it, well I found it and it's driving me insane. It doesn't really scratch or do anything it just makes a click noice and moves ever so slightly. But I refuse to buy a new case because I need to overcome this problem hahaha,

    jesus im insane....

    Looks like that futon has taken a beating. It can't be as bad as my old one though. The bottom portion of the frame on mine was straight broken. Nice setup though.

    This is mine:

    [​IMG]

    You can see I have a Acer Aspire 5920G. I'm using a NZXT Cryo LX notebook cooler, VX Nano mouse (logitech) and some other stuff.

    What you might notice is that on the left side I have my second hard drive (320GB Western Digital, The one I'm using now is a 200GB toshiba which I bought off ebay for 25€ :D). Also right under is is my backplate! I took it off to see if it would help drop the temperatures, and it did!

    That's my notebook and how it's installed. Now I'd like to see yours! :D

    Grtz~

    Seems like somebody could very easily forget about real life in that pod. Sounds dangerous.

    EDIT: REB!, what Asus did you have before to be rocking one of those sweet MX518's? Hmmmm?

    nice setup :). And yeah i took it out to get rid the intense heat while overclocking. It really helped, but you'll have to use a notebook cooler, like me: NZXT cryo Black (best on ethere is imo.).

    And watching tv? I do that on my notebook lol. :)

    wow i really dont understand why a freakin keyboard would need a mousepad? like srsly, my friend also had one, the QCK+ Oversized for his G19 just cuz he had money to spend (i dont really care, i mean he is the one with dual GTX295s which he used to replace his GTX280 sli, talk about wasting money...)

    now i ask, why why why?

    Its awkward typing when the keyboard is uneven, plus now i have both speed + control mouse pads. Its cheaper than buying a bigger desk.

    Heres an updated photo, all level now

    btw, how about making stereoscopic 3d pics of your rooms / systems? so we see how it's really laid out? :)

    here is my server interior (i'm having holidays and cleaning up all my stuff currently, so pics of my full setup end of next week hopefully :))

    go to stereo 3d


    and btw, it was really just a quick test with my cellphone if i can get two pics and get them to look 3d :) so it's not sharp, or professional, or anything :)

    may i ask why you got rid of your Z-5500 for those A5s? Are the A5s really good or just that you didnt like the Z-5500?

    I mostly listen to music and any Logitech product is complete garbage for music compared to these Audioengine speakers. I also ditched my X-Fi soundcard in favor of an external USB Digital/Analog converter (DAC). Also I was unable to take full advantage of the surround sound as I did not have the rear channels behind me.

    A stereo setup like this does fall a bit short on deep, rumbling base so video game explosions lack some punch. I'll probably add a subwoofer eventually.
