You don't have the money, yet you've got $1200+ in consoles sitting right there...? Is there a reason you have all 3?

Well, a Mac Pro or a 24" iMac would cost me atleast $2000. And I've ALWAYS wanted a big, solid wood, desk. Not something from Walmart or IKEA, or even a decent furniture store. My grandparents have almost everything anyone could want; nice car, fancy computers, multiple bigscreens, $5K surround sound, etc. If I could have anything outta their house, it would be their main PC's desk. It's one of the heaviest pieces of furniture I've run into, has a large work area, and solid drawers, as well as plenty of space for my legs under the desk. Too bad I'm sure it could $5K or so, and it would take up almost my entire room.

Believe it or not, I've budgeted most the things in my room pretty well. The TV, instead of buying a new DLP or fancy LCD, I purchased an older RP set. 46" of widescreen HD-goodness for just around a grand. I rarely buy games at $60 new unless they're big releases. Instead, I wait for them to drop. While I tend to blow my money on what I want, I'm a bargain hunter at heart.

As for having multiple consoles ("all three"), I absolutely DESPISE console fanboys. They're easily one of my biggest pet peeves. When trying to make an argument with them, if you don't have their console of choice, your opinion doesn't count. Obviously, though, I don't have all three just to say I have all three. I love gaming. It's my greatest passion and my hobby of choice. There are great games releasing for all consoles all the time, and I don't want to miss a title just because I never bought a certain system. Not trying to sound arrogant here (or egotisitcal), but I'm a pretty good looking guy (I think), and most don't relize how nerdy I truly am until they begin to talk to me. I love to game, and so I like to spend my money on things like new consoles.

Why are people being so intrusive just because the guy has a lot of nice gadgets at a young age? It's a bit rude.

I also posted some of these in the 18 or Under thread. However, I took a wide shot of the room recently, and so I thought I may as well post it over here.



I've always preferred the clean, streamlined look that Paul's setup exhibits. However, I have neither the money or the room for such a setup, so over time I have attempted to make my room as comfortable and inviting as possible.

I wasn't being intrusive, just wondering about the consoles...and if he'd rather have the consoles than a nicer Mac setup...

Besides, post your life in a forum, and you're inviting people to intrude. Why else would you post it!? :D
 
Woo-hoo.

I finally brought my MB in for its stained palmrests, and was told it was going to take 3-5 days. I got it back in less than 24hrs!

I was so happy, I decided to splurge a bit and replace that Logitech KB/M setup with a new wireless KB and MM set! Looks nice. :cool:

Here's my MAC/PC setup :) I haven't changed it much from last year, but what the heck.

I am looking at some upgrades in the near future:

- PS3 to replace PS2
- New 24inch monitor with HDMI/HDCP inputs for running PS3 at 1080p
- iPhone (if it becomes available in Canada)











I apologize in advance if the images are too big.
 
Very nice setup. I like all the movie posters and I like your desk. I see your a big fan of Spider-Man since you already have the Spider-Man 3 poster up on the wall.
 
Hey, dariuslatamus!

Lovely setup. I really like the red walls. Very clean and sexy. Anyways though, you HAVE to tell me where you got those thick Matrix "posters." I want that Neo one! :p
 
I love the way it seems that the Mac Pro is peering out from behind a corner, perhaps while plotting to commit heinous acts against your Powerbook and/or legs!
 
Maybe this is a dumb question, but I've never seen a Mac Pro in person because I interact with almost no Mac people...how do those DVD drive doors work? It doesn't look like they can open outward, because they're behind the mesh. Do they somehow fold inward right before the tray comes out?
 
The silver door part slides down and the CD tray pops out. Pretty cool. Thats how it works on my G5 at least.

Thanks! but it's not a poster. I actually drew it. And it's the cover of WILDCATS issue #5 that Jim Lee did long time ago.

Aaah, I'm forgetting my covers. Must dig 'em out of the cupboard this weekend. :) Great drawing! Jim Lee's art is amazing - the run he did on X-Men was fantastic.

the door slides down and the tray slides out. Just like the g5's, not that exciting really.
