You can't possibly tell me that you've got all that stuff listed in a dorm room!
Apart from the iMac Intel and CRT iMac/eMac and G4/450, yes I have. (I had those, but since I needed some desk to work, I had to send them home, which is a shame, and I had to send the G4/450 home as it was replaced by my MDD, but at 1 point I did have the lot in here, Its a shame I didnt take a picture then really.) My Dorm room does currently have 10 Macs in it out of the 14 I have though
If there was enough space in the car Id have the lot here still, as I couldve piled up the eMac and iMac at the end of my bed, and had the iMac Intel on my bedside table, would make it slightly harder to move around though...
What is the giant cheeseburger?
I'm not the OP but that is a hamburger CD case:

Nothing wrong with an eMac, welcome to the light side!
Thanks folks!
I bought this one for £80 from my older brother...
I already have two self-built gaming rigs that i put a lot of blood sweat, tears and wonga into aswell as my Sony Viao.
But seriously, I really am growing very fond of my eMac very rapidly! ( Only had it for like 4 days )
I'm finding Mac OSX as I get used to it, Much better than windows in all its forms.
The machine itself just feels better, More robust, sleeker, Better thought out, Quicker ( which is a surprize on the mac hardware vs windows hardware front ) and even down to the apps and peripherals, Installing etc...

My motherboard for my Windows 7 desktop is being replaced (not a Sandy Bridge ) so for now I am using my MBP connected to my desk. Usually it's just on the side of the desk.

I'm sorry, but what is the need for all of those machines? 3 laptops, 2 towers. And you're in a dorm? What do you do at uni that requires that much overkill. Not to mention the 27" cinema display. Your whole set up would cost as much as year or more in school.
That is beautiful! You should be happy that you have such a nice view!Last is view from my balcony.

May I inquire as to how this MacBook is headless? I thought the antennas for the Airport were in the display somewhere...
They are in the display assembly (they are the LCD mounting brackets...). The display stopped working, so I just put the display assembly aside for spare parts. I took the airport antennas out of it, but it was just a hassle keeping them there (plus they are ugly). I disconnected the airport antennas from the airport card, and just have it plugged into ethernet...
Edit: forgot to mention I have it set up with my external display...
Ok. sounds like what did to my wife's Dell. She doesn't need the display and she will get 8 hours on a fully charged, brand new battery.
That's some serious research. WOW! They make a Big Mac one. XD
As for the guy with like 10 Macs in his dorm: He does it because he can. Simple explanation.

I like that explanation!
The bass is pretty impressive for 40 watts. I listen to mostly hip hop and the bass was awesome and not overbearing. Best 2.0 speakers I've ever owned so far.

My balcony is the only reason I avoid the library. It keeps me sane during the long hours of reading casebooks.

- Although it helps I didnt buy the lot in 1 go...Apart from the iMac Intel and CRT iMac/eMac and G4/450, yes I have.

Hopefully you pay a standard fee for electricity and not the actual consumption.

Definitely - If it wasnt included I think Id be sunk (We have a scheme to save electricity, and Im pretty sure Im the reason my part of the building ranks highest in terms of usage - my view is take it while its free
)

I agree, why do I have 5 computers at my desk? Because I can!
