Post your Dorm Setup Pics

My Dorm Setup

With the little space there was, I found myself force into this corner. I got my new Powerbook there in the middle on an I-Lap Stand. Sync up to the PB are my bluetooth phone on the left and mouse on the right. Hooked up to the PB are my old Altec Lansing speakers (can't afford the new silver ones to match my PB yet) and my Ipod 3G. I also have hooked up to the PB my memory card reader, scanner, and printer which are all on the media cart on the right. There's no AC in my room so I had to buy a desktop fan, which is that hunka tower in the back. Works out nicely though, because it not only cools me, but my PB also. Not pictures is my airport express which allows me to leave this little chaotic corner and venture off into the lounge.

Here's my current setup for the Fall 2004 semester. 1.33Ghz 12" PB Superdrive 80GB 5400RPM HD, 20" Apple Aluminum Cinema Display, Blue Mini, 4Gen iPod, Sony Cybershot 5MP Camera., Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse, Airport Express with Airtunes. I included pics of my Tv with the surround sound because I have my wireless network connected to my surround sound for music.

I was in a hurry so I just posted my photos on my free earthlink website. Ignore the stupid "photography" blurb they throw in there. Anyways tell me what ya think

you might want to compress those images... (actually you need to compress those images)
i have DSL, but even so 256kbps isn't that fast and i'm not willing to wait for a page with 3 or 4 2MB pictures to load...

thanks,

Not actually dorm setup, but it's my setup in my one-room flat from the time I was still in University. I've since graduated and move is ahead as well...

That is DAMN sexxxxxy.

 

[Brother Michael]

So I have lived here for two weeks, and I swear that the room is still this bare today as it is in teh pictures...oh yea and God I hate and love Bowling Green's dorms! I honestly don't mind living in my dorm or with the people on the floor. What I hate is that my desk is like half a desk...it blows...so to rememdy the problem I borrowed one of my neighbors medicine cabinet doors and use it as an extension.

Ok here they are:

This is our room.

That is my computer...

This is the monitor of my roommates computer, just to show you how small the desks are. Also this kid's computer is so weird. It's a Pentium 3 with 128Meg Ram and running Windows Millenium. He has never reinstalled it, reformatted nothing. Yet, somehow it runs perfectly. He has never received a blue screen of death, virus nothing. It is so wierd.

Anyways, I shall see if I can dig up some better pics of the room and such.

Hmmm, is he a computer geek? (if you info is correct) If so, then I think that there may be something more going on than meets the eye.... interesting.....

Yeah, the dorm desks always seem to be pretty small. Mine was too last year, and boy did it pay off to have a laptop! A desktop wouldn't even really be functional with the angle the moniter has to be at and all that. Not to mention then you don't have any actual workspace! Ugh, I like my apartment I'll post a picture once I get back there (I'm home for the holiday )

Probably irrelevant and irritating to this topic, but this is puzzling me: do students really live in dormitories at university in America? From the pictures they look a bit more like shared rooms at boarding school. How many people live in a room like this? Are you required to live in them, on campus?

I suppose I thought that paying such vast sums of money to go to uni in the US in the first place, you would be provided with better accomodation than in th UK (where it would be normal to have a single (occasionally double) room for the first year, then share a flat/house in town with fellow students for the rest).

Just my ignorant questioning...

Does no-one steal your stuff?

It's commonpractice for people here to stay at dorms in college. First year students usually have to share, then as they gain seniority, they can take a single room or move out to a nearby apartment/shared house. Colleges (in my state, at least) require that you live in the dorms for your first two years, then you may live wherever you wish. Many students choose to live in the dorms for convenience sake, and to be around their friends.

As for stuff getting stolen, that's up to your roomate. Usually, there's a mutual trust going on there.

Sorry about the low quality but I havn't my camera with me, the only camera I have is on my phone.

What app did you use to connect all the pictures together if you dont mind me asking? (as ive been trying to find a way to do this without using photoshop.)

I don't know what he used... but... My camera Canon Powershot S1IS does this automajically. The download process then provides the capability to sew them together and readjust for screw ups.

 

[Daveman Deluxe]

Many places in the U.S. require you to stay in dorms for the first year, and then you can live wherever you like. I chose to live at home my first year and a term, and then I moved into a co-op house a couple of blocks from campus. A couple of friends of mine lived in dorms for two years and then moved into the same co-op. Another friend of mine lived in the dorm last year and she's living in the same one for her second year. BTW, she never locked her door and she lost more stuff than got stolen--nothing got stolen.

I think that it's more common for people to live in dorms for longer at private universities than state universities in the U.S.

Thats a very nice setup. I'm going back to uni in a week or so, and am planning on selling my 15" powerbook in favour of a 12" model, to which i'll be adding a 20" cinema display asap. hehe

I'd say a majority of freshmen live in the dorms, especially those who are going away from home. At U of Arizona though, there's not enough dorms, so you're only allowed to live in them for two years at most. Most freshmen stay in the dorms there and then move to an apartment or house. And about the stealing thing, it's just kind of one of those things you have to live with. You and your roommate just have to trust each other with locking the door etc.

Nope. He's a musician. Could care less about his computer. He said he figures it works so well because he tries to use it as little as possible.

Actually though, we think that if we get an apartment or something together we might split the cost of a Powermac G5.

Dude, first thing I saw when looking at your pics was that "this gotta be RIT." I'm another RIT student, first year micro-electronics engineering student. Where do you live on-campus? Since I'm deaf, I'm in a hell-hol... erm... Ellingson hall (2055). You've got a nice setup yourself.

Ok dudes, here's my setup at my dorm at RIT:

PowerBook G4 15" 1.25 GHz, 23" Cinema HD display, Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard, Logitech MX900 Bluetooth Mouse, Altec Lansing ACS22 speakers and my x86 BSD box. I've got an Airport Express as well getting the internet for my PowerBook. My PowerBook shares the Airport connection over ethernet. That's my setup.

Of course I trust no one, so I have kensington locks for both my display and PowerBook.

20" and 17" Apple displays, dual 2.5, jbl creatures, Yamaha stereo reciever, Epson 1280, Minolta slide scanner, Canon flat bed scanner. Woot.
