I never miss one of these threads :p

:Q Wow, best monitor setup in the thread. Is that a 30" and two 2007FPWs on the sides?

That's two 2007FPs (no W)

No, they are two 2007WFPs. The 2007WFP's width are very close to the 3007WFP's height, that is why pairing them up looks so good.
Nope, yoyo is right. It's not widescreen.
proof

Those who said they are not widescreen are correct. The resolution of the 30" is 2560 x 1600 and the 20" monitors are 1600x1200 (not wide). I like the proof picture though.
I stand corrected. That's good to know though as I was going to do the same thing, except just one extra monitor (30" & one 20").

NERD Story:

I was wondering why my CPU normal temps were going up (X2 3800+, 2.4ghz), usually they idle around 38c, but i noticed they were idling about 45c instead. I take off the clear CPU fan (see above) and there was this BLANKET of dust that prohibited airflow probably 90%.

After removal of blanket, idle temps sunk down to 34c :D

P.S. - Comp is (almost) completely silent, most fans are attached to a fanbus. I'd rate my PC < 23dBa. Also, each hard disk and optical drive are on its own channel. (Primary master - 40gb, Secondary Master - Black DVD-RW, SATA0 - 400gb, SATA2 - 120gb, USB (ghetto hookup) - Beige DVD-RW)

Well... that's the first time I've seen a computer case that looks like THAT :Q

120mm strapped to the GPU for-the-f'in-win?

Boston Acoustics BA4800 4.1 Surround System (Subwoofer hidden)

LOL at "surround" sound. I love when people do that!!!

and i love when people like you make a mockery out of other people and their possessions

LOL it's ok you'll get over it

See its quite simple...if you can't put speakers behind you...get a 2.1 set...save money and your desk area will look nicer.

Why do you have a towel on your chair? Is that for when you sit on your chair naked?

I dragged that big chair in from the kitchen and it was filthy so i put that on it. We had a random bits of food/leftover pizza foodfight. I kinda started it by smacking a piece of crust over my flatmates head, he seemed too peaceful. Everything in the kitchen was pretty filthy half an hour later :(
