You show me yours, I'll show you mine....

[JeffD78]

Let's see what kind of a mess everybody's computer space is in.

Here's mine:

[seti]

I'm sorry to say that doesn't compare http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif.

I'll have to load a pic up when I get my digi-cam back tonight.

[JeffD78]

Bring it on!!! I need some pictures to show my wife when she calls the above a pigstye(sp).

[Joel Kleppinger]

Here's a rare pic so enjoy it ya'll... this is why it's not a good idea to sleep and work in the same room. Hopefully, that won't last much longer though.

But here it is (and now you can show your wife what being messy REALLY is http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif). I'm cleaning it today (and probably tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif) so it won't look like this much longer (I hope - I'm going nuts)

Enough waiting already... enjoy (or cringe, depending on how mess-sensitive you are - you have been warned)

WOW this pic acually makes me feel better about my room when it gets messy. Just get rid of some of the trash and it won't be as bad. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

~Joel(jl123)

[seti]

I'm not exactly sure what that is.....but if I threw a couple photoshop filters at it, I bet it could turn out kinda......oh wait, I see something familiar....DTT2500's. Ohhhhhhhh, it's computer desk.....I see it now. It's like one of those hidden 3d pictures where you just have to stare at it long enough.

http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif haha

[Toadman]

Woohoo! Bring in the Skip-Loader! Hey check out the rabiit ears w/his TV tuner card. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Neat Freaks compared to mine

[jad1097]

[pickel]

Joel..Your my man, now I can expand from the dining room into the living room . a little at a time.Maybe no one will notice til it's too late http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

the pickel

[socalgal]

OMG!!... Joel? Are you in there?? Joel? Help! Joel's missing!!

Joel, do you get much company? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

I would go flippin' insane!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Hey, can I borrow that keyboard and some CD's??? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

[narayan]

Joel,......HOLY ****!!!!!!!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

~is that a sandwich in the corner?

[This message has been edited by narayan (edited 03-16-2000).]

[Joel Kleppinger]

I spose I ought to do some explaining on it. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

1. The item in the lower left is a UPS delivery notice, not a sandwich. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
2. Upper left is my car mp3 player in progress - that light green thing (barely visible) is the LCD panel for it.
3. I can get 3 people in the room, but no more. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif (4 if you count the bathroom.. where the picture was taken from http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif)
4. All the monitors and keyboards you see are always hooked up to something. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
5. The left side of the big CD stand is for PC CD-ROMs and the right is for music. The barely visible CDs on the floor are music (what the new CD stand is for)
6. Yes, that is a 20GB 7200 rpm Maxtor HD box. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif Thank you Staples for that $117 deal. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Give me a few days, and we'll work on some "after" pics. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[socalgal]

LOLOL.... a true wunderkind http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[Ed_S]

Joel, I've seen worse - but not often! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Jeff, yours looks great compared to mine, too.
I keep the room walkable, but barely sometimes. Can't post pics of my mess, since it's actually in three rooms. Been doing this as a hobby since '83, and stuff accumulates.

Sure wish I could get pics of a friends comp area. He's a worse packrat than I am (if possible). There's room to stand only in his comp room. No chair. You walk through stacks of cases, new & old, full & empty. Unbelievable, you'd have to see it!

[desmocat]

Eureka!! I have made the connection! computers are junk magnets! Does any other device seem to attract things like this?
Maybe star trek was right, and we are seeing the beginnings of V ger. That bald chick was pretty hot http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[welsh wizard]

Hey Joel nice to see some one else does the same trick and leaves the hard drive cover plate off the system to aid cooling http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

If a picture is worth a thousand words...then what's a movie (http://members.home.net/cam-t/art/Mov00348.mpg) worth? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

(1.3mb w/sound)

I wanted to try this feature of my digi-camera out. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[alpha]

Don't have a digital camera, but I cleaned my room today - there were network cards, half powersupplies, heatsinks, fans, a few old cases and a few 486s strewn accross the room ! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[Wiz]

Seti, you played amazing dinner table into computer desk too, huh?

[bkehoe]

I'll take a pic tomorrow, but now if my parents tell me that my computer room is untidy, I'll show them Joel's! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Hmm....at the moment I have a few network cables streaching across teh carpet - still haven't taken up the carpet to put them in undr after installing some data ports around the house for laptops and my new web-dvd-box thing which will look like a VCR, but surf the net, play dvds, and more on the TV. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[socalgal]

Here's my new desk, built for my comps from a door 80"x30" -thanks for the idea, CMonster! You can see my comps are pretty tore up, but they all do work - 24/7 cracking RC5 (http://www.sysopt.com/rc5team.html)! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

CujoRbd

[SysOpt]

Thanks Narayan.. Here's the view from my living room http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif :

http://qs3.pair.com/view.jpg

Northern California is scenic http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif.

[Spanky]

HEHE Loving those messy pics and REALLY loving the view out of the office in your pic SYSOPT.

I don't have a pic cause I still need a digital camera. But I have a description that might get a laugh out of some of you.

Me and my roomate share one computer.

its on an old desk thats too low. The monitor is on a raised platform with a speaker to each side. Its all a huge mess.

To the right is the computer. Standing on a large tool box to get it off the ground. To its right is an oven. Its a REALLY small apartment.

On hte computer is a plate bowl and fork. A solder iron stand and iron. A blank CDR and 2 coke cans on top of that and some gum wrapers.

On the platform with the monitor is some more coke cans, All kinds of junk. a cordless phone base behind it all. Some medication. My roomates ashtray. On top of my monitor is my joystick and a cd.

One of those huge lighted Magnifying glasses on an arm is bolted to the table and hanging over the back of the monitor to keep it out of the way
to the right of the raised platform is some garbage.

Chip bags, more coke cans, all kinds of dirty dishes. my roomys bong, 3ds max book.

the keyboard and intelli mouse (best mouse i have ever owned) sit under the raised platform.

The seat is a rapidly dying milk crate with an old couch cushion on top.

THe comptuer has the sides off for easy access.

and the arm rest to the left is the back of the couch.

Hows that for a picture.

BTW its probly messier loooking then you think. and we are an add for Coke. with all the emptys.

[Wiz]

socalgal, do i see cigarettes there??

[bkehoe]

I took a few images as my digital camera doesn't have a wide enough lens. Also took a pic of the view from the window.

Dualeron & some boxes (instead of wallpaper): http://www.techgear.net/images/room/1.jpg

A look at Athlon 800, and yes, that is a K7M with an Athlon in it on the bench: http://www.techgear.net/images/room/2.jpg

Desk where I put everything when my father isn't around, and also the shelves: http://www.techgear.net/images/room/3.jpg

Finally, a view out of the windows (camera seems to have focused on garden though: http://www.techgear.net/images/room/view.jpg

P.S. It sometimes gets messy, but not as bad as Joels'! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Say it aint so, Socalgal....

[socalgal]

Ummm... errr... http://www.sysopt.com/forum/redface.gif I'm trying to quit? heh

Nice desk, huh? **ducks flying vegetables..** http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif


lol Cujo.. I still want Sony..

[This message has been edited by socalgal (edited 03-22-2000).]

[richamies]

So Joel.... I presume you are still single then? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[Joel Kleppinger]

trying to quit, eh? Cut me some slack... I'm from Missouri so SHOW ME. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[This message has been edited by Joel Kleppinger (edited 03-23-2000).]

[richamies]

Ahhhhh......... I knew we'd get a pic of Socalgal eventually! I see you sitting on the shelf in front of the books!

[socalgal]

lol! Richamies, no making fun of my Y2K Bug from The Pickel!! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[Amarok]

I like that desk there socalgal, it looks like it would work nice for me.... hmmm now all i have to do is find a door.

BTW I had a lamp just like yours until the switch fried and decided to pour out smoke and a few flames.... not a fun day.

[jl123]

Hey socalgal i have a computer case like yours(the one to the left).

A MMG by Hard Warehouse??????

Well i just thought i would share with everyone http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif I thought i was the only person to have a case like that.

~Joel(jl123)

[Wiz]

I'd take a pic of my desktop and scan it, but i'm in the middle of my painting the case project, and it looks kinda messy right now

[jadison]

yeah, I spray painted my ol case gold on one side, flat black on the other side and misty gold on the top. It's a 8 year old case so I thought I'd give it a makeover, hehe

I hope to get an IN-WIN mid tower case by my B-day (May 31)
(I won't be spray painting that one though!)

I'll post a pic as soon as I get one of the digi cameras my school provides

-jd-

[socalgal]

Thanks, Amarok http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

jl123 - I have not a clue what the make of the case is.. it's an old AT case that I bought used about 3 years ago. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

The materials (door, Melamine shelving, hardware - Home Depot), including the Norwegian Alder lateral file cab (Office Depot - assembly required), totaled ±$175 and the guy who put it all together only took $100 from me http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif so for a strong, large, functional workstation (earthquake resistant - this thing is solid!) I think I got a pretty good deal! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Unfortunately, my Snoopy dog-dog card wasn't in that pic when I snapped it. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[BBA]

Hmmm....guess I'll just have to clean up a bit and snap one for yall.

Maybe tomorrow.

[socalgal]

No fair cleaning up, BBA! We want to see the Real Deal! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[JeffD78]

Yeah BBA, I asked for messes, not cleaned up ones. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

[mgordon99]

Ok here is mine, yes I am cramped for space, taking up half the bedroom.

http://www.zbzoom.net/~mgordon/workspace.jpg

[smurfin]

Cool movie Seti, glad for my T1, only a few seconds. I have that exact same background loaded! But not very messy at all. Mine is neat but only because my wife will hurt me if I don't keep it that way. As for Joel. Man, my wife would boil you alive! How do you get away with that? I would pay for the secret as I can't seem to take anything apart without a sour look. Plus my baby is into computers so she keeps sticking tools inside the open cases just like daddy. Kinda scary.

[Butler]

Well, here's mine...it was cleaned up about a week ago. The first pic is my desk, the second is all the stuff that USED to ALSO be on my desk until the cleanup project last week. Wow, how did all that stuff fit...can you say STACKS??!!
http://www.iei.net/~butler/Pics/desk1.jpg http://www.iei.net/~butler/Pics/corner.jpg

[chipbgt]

I see a lot of you keep the sides open on the case..does this help much with cooling?

[Wiz]

It doesnt help much. I keep mine off because i am too lazy to put it back on.

[FrozenLiquidity]

I came on this topic a bit late I suppose.

HAHAHA, Thip post has been really funny http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/biggrin.gif
I love this place.

Hey Butler, is that an alien next to your monitor?

I see that Scott has an Intellimouse Explorer, so do I, good mouse eh?

And I thought my computer room was messy. I think I'll post a Pic of my las LAN party up here.

Scott, you have one excellent view! I envy you.

Shame on you Socalgal, smoking is a nasty habit http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif Hey! Is that an Iiyama monitor up in the left? I love Iiyamas! What model is it?


It's nice being part of this online community http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif


Later!

Joel, have you cleaned up yet? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

If so, let's see it!
