Nothing like basking in the cold empty glow of technology...

I have the same computer case as you, but I sanded mine down, painted it blue/black, took about a week to get it looking the way it does now. I will post a pic, but my work office is probably a little more impressive ;). I will try to post both tomorrow :)

I designed a case which was a double-paned plexiglass case creating a fish aquarium. The guts of the computer could be seen running "inside" the aquarium. Plus it had an added benefit of heat exchange. Even more so if I could have gotten one made in glass.

LOL yeah. The Scooby Doo artwork is courtesy of an up and coming 5 year old artist who is the son of our secretary :).

You guys mean the left wall? That's just another monitor. I use it for:

1) Streaming March Madness.
2) Watching Lost
3) Demonstrating tech things to people who ask a question. I find it easier than telling them how to do it, so I have a couple of chairs in my office, I give them some popcorn and tell them to have a seat, then show them how to do whatever.

So your job consists of drawing Scooby Doo and making popcorn while watching Lost with your pals.
It's because of people like you that we have the global economy crises. :)

I forgot to mention, I also use that monitor to display a nature slideshow so it feels like a window :).

Here are a few pictures of my "play time" puter area.

Exactly. Velusion or someone on the forums said they upgraded to such and such specs and had almost 0 load time even with a mega game. I was sold, so I started buying the parts one by one, and I built a "RAWR RAWR" system just so Dominions would load turns quicker.

Now that I have posted the pic, I am not 100% sure we have the same case, is yours an Antec 900 or the bigger one?

Nice, although I doubt my over ten year old computer could run Dominions, it wasn't even a Pentium it was i486.
