1st post so just want to say hi to everyone! Ok anyway here's my room:
The TV end (yeh I know, I need a TV stand)

And the Mac end

I'm 17 and paid for it all myself - the PS3 fund came from a savings account!

Alistair

What monitor is that?

it's all paid for by me.

How was that?


Also this next thing isn't only about you, lots of people do it but


Why do people(in this thread_ find the need to say "paid for by myself"? Does that make it better? Worse? You had the $$$ because you family pays for your house, food ect, if you had to pay for that things would be different.


I don't have a problem with kids having nice stuff...I'm a kid,and have nice stuff myself, but I try not to go around pating myself on the back, when I pay for things, because I know, they only reason I have extra $$ is because my family pays for the things I need, so I can focus on the things I want.

That TV bench looks like the Ikea one but the Ikea one doesn't have those metal rods there.
What bench is that? I found the Ikea one way too low for a 42" LCD HD while sitting on the couch. I found myself looking down.
 
I love the eMachines kb. :p
Don't forget the $10 optical mouse and free CRT screen :p

I WAS using a 10 year old Dell KB before this one. (Then I spilled milk on it. :rolleyes:)

Don't forget the speakers!
They're eMachines speakers too. :) (With surprisingly good sound quality.)
Is that a Halo CD I see there on the left?
How can you even read that text? I hate people with good eyes.:)

I found my camera charger, so here goes :)

You really should point those speakers inwards, at where you sit.

Please don't do that again. People will only get offended, yell at you, and things will get all ugly again.

Not this again. :rolleyes:

I've defended myself plenty of times before. I'm not about to do it again...

I'm behind you on this one. Zap2 is just being jealous.

Maybe PM Dr. Q or someone to remove the post before anybody gets more agitated?
 
Here's my setup. My MBP goes with me around the house. But here's my room, eventhough I don't sleep in it.

I feel like a fool paying $450 for the monitor back in 05 :/. It was totally worth it back then though

My custom PC. Installed vista for my father. I rarely use the computer, but my dad uses it for the stock market regularly.

If anyone wants the printer..I'll sell it to you. I'm too cheap to buy ink for it. HP ink = $$$!

Old desk. I use it to hold all the extra stuff. I hate the desk, it's so unsightly. Need to make a trip to IKEA..

:rolleyes: Thats it....I sit up and night and wish for more stuff :rolleyes:

I was simply asking, why people find it useful to say "paid for it myself"? I didn't say kids/teens should have nice stuff...infact I even went as far as saying "I don't have a problem with kids/teen having nice stuff"....I've read the threads were we all got into a big fight over this, I'm not asking why you should have nice stuff, your a human, and if you can get it legal for for you.

I'm asking why are people so quick to say "I paid for it myself"? If you have a link that answer that question, please post it up! I'm not talking to you per say, just asking why people in this thread post that?




Edit-If people really, really don't want post this stuff in this thread, PM, but honestly I think we're all able to talk about it here
