At this point i've spent close to $3500.

So not that much, considering what that *crap* can cost :D

I'm gonna get a new (flat) bench soon as i don't feel the current one is solid enough for the weight i'm pushing.

It's an incline bench where the only thing keeping the back/seat up in the movable area, is the safety pin.

Somehow i don't think that 230-35 pounds hammering down on my chest feels like a tickling sensation :x

That's not bad at all! :)

Yeah its awsome I'm really pleased with it, and I like the way it works in bios etc before windows starts. Only slight annoyance is the volume and media control buttons randomly stopped working earlier but restart seemed to fix. Bought a second one to go with my htpc but having some trouble getting hold of another compatible dongle for it.

Well, here's my dorm, currently attending the University of Florida, started in the summer term. Loving it!

Missing my Manhattan poster next to John Lennon, and haven't put up my "My Goodness, My Guinness!" poster yet, 'tis why the wall next to my bed seems so empty.

Do you have a roommate?

Actually, yes! I have 3 of them, but it's an apartment-style dorm, so we each have our own rooms plus we get a kitchen, a living room, 2 bathroom, and a vanity counter. It's the most expensive dorm on campus, I just got it because I signed up for housing late, I had chosen conventional dorms as my top 3 choices, now I'm really happy I got Lakeside instead. Here are some pictures that show what it's like:

XCraft 250, which has a bit of of problem as the WD drive inside it needs too much power, resulting in the use of a second USB.

Your HDD enclosure is nice. Is it a for 3.5" or 2.5" hdd?

By the way, from the old "Show us your workstations" post, thanks for your advice. I'll be sure to look for a new table. Ikea do make nice table but quality not so much. :pinch:

No problem, I like your rig, especially your PS3 (Y) . As for the hard drive, it's 2.5 and supports USB 2.0 and eSATA. However, there is a problem with my Western Digital HD as it requires two USB ports instead of one. I need to go to SS2 to change it but I haven't got the time. This is actually my second enclosure as my first one broke down on me. It was a different Cooler Master as it had a one touch button but it took too long to replace, I had to wait for three months before they told me it was out of stock, typical of Malaysians :rolleyes: .

ubertwoten, nice setup. I have the same model notebook from HP. Where did you get that keyboard protector? How is it like typing on it? Is it uncomfortable? Thanks.

Thanks. I purchased the keyboard protector from eBay (it's actually for the dv6000t or some previous model not the dv6500t because the arrow keys doesn't align and neither do the f keys). I really like the keyboard protector because it keeps the keys nice and oil-free, and I never have to worry about anything falling into the keyboard or worse, spilling (coffee is often next to the notebook). Typing, well that is definitely preference. I honestly love it because its a lot harder to miss a key as your fingers won't slip, but some might think that it restricts fast typing because of the silicon surface. You can search on eBay and i'm sure you'll come up with something ( i got mine for ~10 dollars shipped), just be prepared for it not to fit 100%.

here's some close pics:

Looks pretty similar to the one I have from the picture given by the seller, but keep me updated whether it has a better fit! I think you'll like it - even if the F keys and arrows don't completely fit 100%, it really doesn't bother me (probably because i hardly use the F keys)

My guess is that it's for the dv5000 series as the arrow keys are slightly lower on that notebook. I should know, as I own one :p .

It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client.
