This is a picture of my desk at college. I'm sure lots of folks have interesting things around, whether at home, school, or work, so post your pics!
Things of note:
That's BSG on the TV. And naturally LA on the lappy.
Empty bottles piled behind the TV. And that's only like 2 weeks' worth...
Mountain Dew bottle next to a calculator and pages of physics work. Then an empty Cheetos bag. Then my ELA and Calc books.
It's tough to see, but there's a candy bar wrapper near the headphones. It's a winner! A free candy bar! But I have to send it in, meaning I have to pay half the price for postage anyway...
On top: little SD Gundam Mk. II model, and Viper and Raider toys.
And of course, a Queen poster on the wall.

I hate you Lindar. Do you know how hard it was to find a black case and keyboard that didn't suck? And a black display or mouse? Forget about it.

well...see... my case has a LOVELY gouge down the side from when i moved in ...egads fall 2005...
I dropped my poor baby off the front of a cart and he met a wall... on the most part he was ok other than the gouge in the paint.
the white dvd reader is in because i burnt out my black one and had to start stealing parts from my brothers computer since he's moved and said he doesn't want it anyway so i've been taking parts as i need them.
uhm...and i didn't even look for them. they came to me when i made him. Puck is my baby. and he's almost 4 years old.

Cry me a river. ALL of my external-access drives are white (light grey, actually) because you can't get a quality CD/DVD/floppy drive in black for love or money. I'M not entirely sure I could get one, period.

I think I hate you even more now. Does Puck at least suck? Apart from the these days apparently rather infrequent termination of your net access?

Goodness Gracious no.
I think Puck is the only Guy that I honestly think i can depend on most of the time. Not to mention the fact that he doesn't ask me for much in return for everything i make him do for me. tehehehe

Both. The bloody bastard is BLACK. Case, keyboard, CRT, mouse, ALL black. Do you know how long I had to search for a black case that WASN'T the next best thing to useless? A dark keyboard that didn't suck?
A black CRT that was worth having leave alone its money wasn't to be had PERIOD and have fun finding NON-righthanded mice leave alone quality ones (in black? Bwahahahah). You got a completely black rig!

Black display and mouse, black keyboard. I hate both of you for the simple fact that you found a black CRT display.

That's been a definite NO for quite some years. There used to be, and still are, generic mice, but the vast majority over here is right-handed. And regardless very few are black to begin with.

Well I didn't care enough to MAKE my mouse, keyboard and CRT black (which I've done before) so obviously I don't mind all that much but I'm still peeved about you being able to get black hardware while I couldn't. So there.

Uh...black cases, monitors, etc. are NOT hard to find. Where do you live? The fucking middle east has enough black cases.

Black cases that DON'T SUCK are hard to find. Black keyboards THAT DON'T SUCK are hard to find. Black CRTs, around here, are hard to find, PERIOD.
As for mice, most are right-handed to begin with and few are black.
What bearing exactly has the availability of black hardware in the Middle East (of indetermined quality) got to do with wether or not such would be available in my corner of Germany?

WTF do you want in a case?
Black keyboards THAT DON'T SUCK are hard to find.
G-15 or what kind do you want? A no frills one like mine?

CRT, the fuck? Are you some kind of...nevermind.

Because the middle east is not where you expect to find good components and even I found some incredibly fast, I find it hard to belive there arn't any in Germany or europe at all.

I want an at least 400W power supply, a minimum of 4 5.25" drive bays, the obligatory floppy bay, and a minimum of 3 3.5" drive bays.
I also want the case to be metal, and not look like shit.

Given that it's Logitech chances are it's going to be overprized like nobody's business.

And a black TFT would be cheaper because of...? Happily ignoring the fact that it's been quite a while since I was in the market for a new display.
The cordless one.

Yes, I have an ARC-170 sitting on top of my monitor and a snowspeeder sitting on top of my tower.

No wall is complete without a 2D starmap that uses hexes. Hexes equals a lot of win.

My books and DVDs.

No packaged PSU is going to be worth it, even if it's rated 400W, get a real PSU.
All those numbers are fucking easy to get, metal, I'm not sure, but not hard, Lian Li cases, anything, post on SDN for good case reccomendations.

You wanted, I found. Other black keyboards are more generic, but a quick google search turns up quite a few. By chance I was lately in a local store looking for a spare keyboard, bottom prices, nice black ones. And I have a hard time beliving selection here is worse then Germany.

A black LCD would simpler have a longer span and offer compareable display quality, while being far easier to find.
The cordless one.
First one, notebook so meh, but still something.
Only partially black, but kicks ass.
This is ignoring dual handed mice.
