New-ish Setup Thread

Well the most recent setup thread I could find hasn't been touched since 2009, so I figured I'd make my own instead of necro-ing that.

I just got my new keyboard today, so as of right now my setup looks like this:

Shitty dark picture, I shake too much to be a photographer:

One monitor is an ASUS V228H and the other is a Samsung LED TV, both 21.5" diagonals.

Computer specs are like this:

Anyone else feel like sharing?

I feel like that's a very precarious place to have a water bottle.

If you want the monitor propped up slightly higher, Order of the Phoenix a little longer

I had a post in the old rant thread about how I was looking to get a new desktop. Pieman linked a good deal on NewEgg, but upon further inspection it had a shitty graphics card. Now I'm thinking about this

I'm looking for a decent but not top-of-the-line (read: not super expensive) desktop, just something good enough to play Diablo III on. Any comments / recommendations? I don't want to spent more than about $800.

Well I don't mean it to be a gaming specific thing, and also I'm not so much building a PC as buying one

Maybe this is a good place to ask: how much should I invest in a laptop if I want it to last me the next four years of college without being completely useless? I don't need it to be useful for gaming, only for school-related things, whatever that might entail.

bclare, that computer should do you pretty well for gaming for a year or two, not sure how hardware intensive things are going to get soon.

Also vamp, it doesn't take much of a computer anymore to be able to do things for school, any given 5-700$ laptop will do you just fine.

Just ordered a Sager 9170 with a Radeon HD 7970m. Can't wait to post here with my setup.

I know y'all jealous.

And yes, it is about as comfortable as it looks.
