That speaker layout looks ugly…

But Congrats on getting the machine man!!!!!!!! WOOT That looks cool!!!! Uber power too! Man, what a cool beast. Quiet liquid cooling too! Masterful, I MUST have it. Ya, you got it! The beast looks groovy.
ENVY!!!!

Ah… I've been holding off too long on getting a new machine myself… I think I'll just struggle along for the rest of the year with it though. -_- How much did your baby and all the bits end up costing you? 3k? 4k? More? Less? Lovely power there. I'm glad you got it.

heh :)
couple of paychecks, close to buying a new car
it's always a dream of mine to get a really powerful computer

for someone like me who hates assembling computers, alienware has a pretty good deal. i got mine after 3 weeks. i was surprised on how big and heavy the whole computer was. it took 2 guys to carry it to the front door and my brother and i to take it upstairs. i keep thinking when i move, it would be a hassle to carry around.

it's stable, haven't really had a problem with it yet, very silent running. i multi task like crazy now with no or low slow down. i played bioshock on max and you can barely feel any frame slowdown.

when i get the money i plan to SLI another 8800 GTX. and that would complete my dream machine.

My workspace is in my pocket. I do most of my drawing and writing on the go with a small sketchpad and markers.

Posted at 12:08PM, Aug. 27, 2007

But seriously:

I cleaned!

As you can see i'm working on a page.

You might find odd the fact i keep tissue there.
They are for my tears…I cry when i draw…

To hell with photoshop! This is where it's at!

Lol! Shoes! If there's anyone out there interested in a broken printer call me.

As you can see i live with style. Can you spot the generational gap?

Also.

LOSERS!

i've never drawn on a drafting table. evar…
:)

i do all my art in front of my monitors

Crappy cellphone pictures FTW.

First: this be where I draw. The table is actually one of these Ikea kitchen tables that fold out with a bunch of phonebooks stacked under it to keep it tilted. Sounds rickety and makeshift but actually works very well because it's heavy and therefore doesn't wiggle.

Two meters to the left is the desk, which is mostly buried in paper. Since this embarrasses me greatly, here's a picture of the corner where the computer stuff is, you don't need to see the piles of "I'm not sure what this is but I think it's important" to the left.
