My room:

The modded Xbox and jtagged 360 that sit on a shelf at the bottom of my bed.

For anyone who got the wrong idea about my modded consoles...

Behind the TV is an Acer Aspire Revo Nettop that runs XBMC, the paper over it covers an annoying flashing light.

The computer room:

The non modded 360 with a hacked 250gb hard drive and the GameCube.

My gaming PC with a motivational poster about Flying Sharks :p

The various rooms in the house all connect to the gigabit switch by the printer.

Please forgive my awful bedroom but here is my latest system.

Specifications:

Asus Sabertooth X58 Motherboard

Core i7 950 @ 4.2 Ghz

6 GB (2 GB x 3) Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600 ram in tri-channel.

EVGA Nvidia Geforce 460 GTX Superclocked

Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 TV Tuner

2 TB Hitachi SATA Drive

320 GB 2.5" HDD

LG BD-RW Drive

All housed in a Cooler Master HAF X RC-942-KKN1 case. CPU is overclocked to 4.2 Ghz and I am using a Thermaltake Frio. System was built by myself with quite a bit of sweat. I've made some mistakes building my systems, my last mistake put my current i7 system out of commission for a while since I bent and broke a few of the cpu pins. I sold my old system and used that money to purchase a new motherboard to get the system running again.

I had another 2 TB HDD, which I had sitting on top of my case and my damn cat knocked it off. After that I accidentally dropped the drive on the floor when it slipped out of my hand and the system won't recognize the drive, the drive just ticks when it spins up now. I would of had another GTX 460 in SLI and a SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium Pro but I put it in my old system which I sold on Ebay.

I cry, I have my awesome HP Pavilion dv7-d185dx with an extra 500 GB HD I threw in it (also has a 250 GB that I ripped out my PS3) and right now I am having stupid power issues. The original power cord stopped working so I ordered a new one off ebay. Apparently, my laptop is "too smart" and sees that the one I got is a "replacement" not Genuine part so it won't let the laptop turn on while charging. Can't even just run off AC power or anything. Kinda crappy.
