I like the way you put your desk lamp behind your screen for dramatic effect

That's actually my monitor back lighting, it's an LED lamp so it's rather diffuse, not good for tasking lighting. Primary lighting comes from an overhead source, but that's only if I'm writing checks or something.

I need to tidy up some wires.


Why so many computers in one room?.....

Why not?

I have two teenage kids with a lot of friends and they need a place to check their e-mail, myspace or play an intense game on the LAN when they hang out at my house. They love the setup.

Based on those pics, I take it you are a chic then?

Yes, I must be a chick because I'm not a messy pimp-filled geek.

I get more ass than you too. ;) Don't worry.

You guys are sick (and, probably don't have kids?)

Funny thing is, my new wallpaper is also of my kids in the tub. It is the only time I can get both of them to stay in frame at the same time! ;)

Well in all honesty most parents have pictures of their kids that dont involve partial nudity

And when they do they don't have them in such a public place/post them on the internet

Obviously, I have pictures of them that do not involve the tub (or, as you call it, "partial nudity"), but the one you see (and the one I have up now) are too cute to resist.

I also think that "most" parents have pictures of their kids that do involve "partial nudity", as well.

that's really weird, when i go to people's house i never see those lying around. plus ive seen tons of wallpapers with peopel's famlies/kids but enver one where they're naked in the tub

Believe me when I say you didn't get a hot deal on that Dell printer. We had at work (given to us for free from Dell) and its either breaking down or the print out comes out all smudged due to the horrible design of the toner cartridges.

LOL. My Dell rep at work offered me a free Dell printer for the office, but based on my experiences with their printers, I kindly turned her down.

Monitor + Speakers

Screen looks small compared to speakers, but that's 19" ViewSonic A90f+
Headphones on the shelf are Sennheiser HD 485
Mic is some basic Logitech
Case is silver Tsunami Dream
cell phone (black between left speaker and monitor) is Samsung T809
Audio is 2.0 Set-up.

I have a problem: although speakers are "magnetically shielded" they still affect how image on my screen looks. Any way to get rid of this? Thanks :)

Those look like nice speakers. How good are they?
I think they are awesome. My dad bought them cuz he is auido freak and wont accept a sub + 7 small speakers for "7.1 surround". The whole system is pwnage, basses over the roof if I want them, sound is very "full".
Cheap, too. 2x$40 speakers + $80 amp = less than $180 with tax.
