Here's mine. Mind you, I'm 17, in High School, and can't find a job. So, I'm pretty content with what I have. Behind where I took the picture is my 360 and my TV.

The moniter is just temporary (I HOPE!!), the keyboard and mouse are 'borrowed' from school, and the tower I built out of spare parts I found. Well, I found the case, and ripped everything out except the CD drive and MB. I put in a couple HDD's, and an extra CD drive. I then bought a new graphics card and audio card, and for Christmas I got that external hard drive on top of the tower and also a wireless card. That big thing next to the tower is a scanner, bought new in...'97? Sometime around then. Also, the reason the case is missing the front is because I put in an extra fan beneath the power button, but the case was blocking it. So I have two fans, one in the back sucking in and the other in the front blowing out. I pride myself on my awesome desktop, but I need to buy a gig of RAM, however my mom says we can't afford it right now. Bleh.

What are your computer specs? Also, it is possible to pick up a multi-purpose printer for less than $30. Mine was $24 and ink cartriges are $7.99... so pretty cheap.

Not bad, you make due with what you have!

I used a 1.2GHz AMD Duron with 320MB RAM and Windows XP for the longest time (almost 4-5 years) before I got a new computer.

And my dad was on an almost 10 year old 350MHz Pentium II box running Windows 2000 and a 5GB hard drive until I upgraded it for him last month.

I know, but I was short and needed a new PSU fast. My plan was to use this temporary then buy the Corsair 520w at a later time.

The Corsair 400w has plenty of juice for that set up with that video card, shouldn't cause you any issue, could probably go up to a 9600GT/9800GT with no issue but that might be pushing it with those hard drives.

My desk, took a pic since it may be the only time in the year that I will have a clean desk lol!

Nothing special other than my lovely MacBook Unibody :D

The rest is my iPod Touch 2ndGen 16GB, an Acer H213H 21.5" 1080P screen. Sure it's not high quality, but it still rocks :p

I also have a Logitech X-540 5.1 Kit and a G9 mouse. As keyboard, it's the MSFT WLD 7000 3Gen, and for gaming I have a Ideazon Fang.

    • ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard is 27% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE is currently $159.99 on Amazon, down from $219.99. That's 27% off and $60 saved on a keyboard that combines retro and modern design, while being one of the most responsive and adaptable 75% boards available right now (purchase link down below). The ROG Falchion Ace comes with the HFX V2X magnetic switches that allow you to set actuation anywhere between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm fine-tuning steps. It also comes with Rapid Trigger, a feature that resets the key the moment you release it rather than waiting for a fixed reset point, which makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. And finally, an 8,000Hz polling rate should make the response time feel instant. The build quality is decent, with dense plastic and powder-coated aluminum, which is expected from a keyboard at this price point. There’s also the onboard adjustment wheel, which lets you tweak actuation and Rapid Trigger sensitivity without opening any software. For competitive gaming, the ROG Falchion Ace is hard to beat at this price. And those who appreciate old-school hardware, especially those white keyboards we’ve all grown up with, will likely also appreciate the looks of this keyboard. A carry case is included.
