This is the thread to post a picture of your computer setup wherever you are.

This is my setup at home. Also try to keep your images at a reasonable resolution, 800x600 would be preferred. If you're stuck try downloading the Windows XP Powertoy called Image Resizer and select Medium from the list.

This was taken the day I built this computer (last august), when the monitor wasn't working, so I had it hooked to my TV (its still hooked to my TV, but just as a secondary output now for video viewing). The setup is now considerably different (and in a dorm instead of my basement) so I might have to find a camera to get a new pic

Hard Drive: 90GB (3 operating systems in that space) (I also carry around a 30GB external with all my photos on it. I'll probably upgrade that to 160GB pretty soon. Or I might put the 160GB in my laptop, which would make more sense. Except for I think my laptop has a SATA drive. Dangit.).

Good to see i'm not the only person who uses incense sticks :)

@Palemoon, we have the same speakers

faemir,

Is that a Zire 22? That better not be a Zire 22. I'm hoping, for your sake, that you did not just call a Zire 22 a "trusty" device.

smartalco wrote:@Palemoon, we have the same speakers

yeah, i went to buy them and when the clerk scanned it at the register it came out 15 bucks cheaper than labled. it was quite a nice surprise!

and my room totally reeks of that insense, faemir. I like the smell, but i'm not sure of other people's opinions :)

I use the laptop. See the two holes on the front? One of them is a fully operational microphone.

I know you can't see it, but I'm rolling my eyes as hard as I can.

Picture is awful quality. I had to use my laptop's integrated webcam and a mirror. I'll take something better when I have my camera back.
