I assume UMD is University of Maryland? I am new to the east coast... If that is what you meant, then no, those are condo's across the street from me.

MARYLAND PRIDE
I made it into Maryland, but going to Villa Julie next year. Nice setup as well.
Spent a long time lurking, thought I would post my setup!
Current setup at uni, from left to right; (friends) Wii, Quad 66 preamp, Dell 27" 2707WFP, MBP 2.2GHz/4GB, Xbox360. Gigabit switch and watercooled file/VMware/router/firewall/game server underneath, which has dual 3.2GHz Xeons, 4 x 250GB RAID5, 1TB WD drive running Ubuntu server. Got 2 x 3GHz quad cores, 12GB RAM (sitting on the shelf in the photo ) which is going in there soon. I'm doing comp sci at uni and been a long time Linux user. Switched last October and really love developing on the MBP. Mess about with photos, film it up and play a few games, etc. on it too.
And I found this pic of my home room from around 2003 the other day, stylish

I'm a CS major too, where are you at?I need to get one of my boxes setup up as a NAS as soon as I can afford some hdd's. What are you doing exactly on your server than you need to upgrade from dual to quads lol.
I'd also like to get a 24" monitor. I wouldn't mind building a quad core machine for some dvd crunching too. Then I'm trying to find a truck to buy so I guess I'll just have to do some prioritizing.

Is that a Slug I spy up in the top right of the second picture?
See, that's where my money is. It's all in the computers. I never have more than $5-$10 cash to my name unless I've just sold something. (And yes, I know it's stupid, really, but I'm not in it for the money.)
But, I digress. I'll probably be getting a new laptop soon, and will obviously post it up here to shock and amaze you.
I would love for you to explain the secret...See, that's where my money is. It's all in the computers. I never have more than $5-$10 cash to my name unless I've just sold something. (And yes, I know it's stupid, really, but I'm not in it for the money.)

It's simple really. He just trades up in computers a little bit every time.
What I want to know is where he keeps finding these suckers to do trades with...
I don't really know. My MBP isn't totally paid for still... not good I know.
I bought my last/first laptop a few years ago while still in HS after working all summer. One of my friends is supposed to be buying it whenever he gets the money, so that will go towards the MBP.If I work all summer I could buy most the other gear I would like to have, but like I said I'm also trying to buy a truck so I'll have to pick and choose.
My first semester I worked afternoons since I was done by noon every day. Didn't much this semester though. If I find that truck I will deff have to next semester. After that I'm heading up to an actual university so I'll have to for rent.
Lucky for some, I don't have time to work during term with the ridiculous workload I get
Local college FTW
I plan on having my AS after next sem (year and a half) and will have paid almost nothing for it. Plus I get to go home every weekend if I want.I'll cut the load down when I transfer, at least at first. I have a friend up where I'm going so hopefully his experience will help me balance everything. Plus he said he's already got a job for me when I get there.
Suppose it's what I get for studying at the 4th best CS department in the UK (according to the most recent survey that the lecturers have been boasting about recently!). I get stupendous amounts of work & it's one of the most expensive towns in the UK to live inLocal college FTW
