Description
Just a petty excuse to show off my three monitors, really.Sorry for the utterly terrible photo. The light in this room is beyond diabolical, and my tripod is broken. I didn't even bother attempting anything other than getting my whole desk in. >.>
My mum decided she had enough with my room being a tip and tidied it while I was at school today. Came back and couldn't find anything. But I thought I'd make the most of it and take a photo of my desk.
The left monitor is a really old 21" CRT I got for free from my dad's work place. I run it at 1600x1200. They were just throwing it out. It's probably the best CRT I've seen in my life, though very dull compared to...
Middle one is my brand new 24" wide screen LCD, 1920x1080. The monitor I use for games and movies. It's stupidly bright and vivid.
The right one is a 19" LCD at 1280x1024. The stand broke, and is thus caked in gaffa tape.
My wallpaper reads:
Left monitor "Ninjas can't catch you"
Middle is blank.
Right "if you're on another monitor."
(! window popped up on the right monitor when I took the photo, couldn't be bothered to close it.)
My name and
Under my desk there's Jennifer (my PC) on the right. You can also just about see a bit of the jungle of wires... I have ~12 things all plugged into one socket. Probably not that safe, but oh well. >.>
Why there's a mouse down there I don't even know.
Right, and, yes. I do have a sink in my room. It was here when we moved in and I'm just used to it. Really useful in my opinion. xD
Aaaand, Portal posters. <3
So! I want to see your desk!

Got the portal posters from the official Steam shop, I also have the companion cube. <3<3<3<3<3
Once you go for two monitors you'll never go back. The extra space is beyond invaluable. It makes complete sense once you've used it for a while.
As for three... because I can. I had to wire up a second graphics card, but still. If I had the desk space I'd wire up a forth monitor. XD I generally use the left one as storage for things I want to keep an eye on. Downloads, transfers, MSN etc.
Yus, I do have TF2, but I don't enjoy any PvP games at all. I hate competitiveness. Pacifism beyond belief. xD So, sorry.
I wouldn't mind a mess around on GMod or some coop PvE mods sometime though, if you have any.
Ew @ surroundsound. Any surroundsound under ~£120 is fake, actually running off two channels. To match the quality of a £100 2.0 or 2.1 system you'd have to blow a good £200, or probably more. Besides, surroundsound is useless for just listening to music, which is all I use them for 98% of the time.
This is actually a 2.1 system, the woofer is on the floor. It shakes my desk too much, which annoys my 4000dpi mouse. And, somehow, they're damn good. They're dying a bit now and I'm saving up for a new set, probably going Creative or Logitech, 2.0 or 2.1. But yeah, they're FAR better than they look. XD
