This is the first and only computer that I have ever owned... It's a black (obviously) macbook from the summer of 2006... the only thing that has changed since the beginning of it's life is it's RAM, which got boosted from 512 MB to 2GB almost a year ago. hopefully i won't have to part with it anytime soon since it is quite a reliable and awesome computer... also i don't want to pay for another laptop (and here - college - a laptop is definitely very useful)... I was planning on actually building my own gaming rig over the summer, but if i did win this pc, that would be awesome, since it would be way better than what i was planning on getting... my budget is well below a fifth of the price of the rig on display here!

anyway, it's definitely not my Turning Point gaming rig, and it probably won't get featured on the dtoid page since there's nothing remarkable about my set... however, if i show off the setup we have in our entire room (AKA with all the stuff that my other four roommates own), maybe we'll get some loving?



behind my mac is our bookshelf full of movies and and some games. one of my roommates owns everything on the bottom two shelves, and another one owns everything on the top shelf (except for the five games i have there... guitar hero, guitar hero II, psychonauts, jak x, and ratchet and clank future). you can see the two guitar hero controllers and my PS2 to the right side, as well as the subwoofer and the center of our surround sound system, respectively below the table and above the shelves.

moving some more to the left, you can see our PS3 and our Philips 19" LCD TV (it's so pathetic that something of this sort features a 1080p resolution... so useless at this size!!), as well as the top of our fridge.



rotating the camera a bit, you can see our N64 and Xbox, the latter of which we haven't ever used. at the beginning of the year we never stopped playing Battletanx on the N64... wow that game was addictive. speaking of N64 games...



here's our N64 collection!


We also have numerous posters littered all around our room... the last time we counted them, we had 46 posters.



these are a couple from our ceiling.



some more from our ceiling and our giant da vinci poster/sheet/cloth



and the above is one of my favorite posters!!!


so our set up isn't the best of the best, but it's definitely a lot of fun... we call it the black hole of productivity because as soon as you enter our room a couple of hours pass by and you don't even realize that you haven't done anything worthwhile, even though you have two major midterms the following day. it's sort of like that run-on sentence full of grammatical errors. the only things i actually own in our setup is my mac, the PS2, some ps2 games, the guitar hero controllers, and the sound system - which, except for my bike, is the best investment i've ever made.

so there you have it, folks! i'm hoping for a real turning point gaming rig to add to our setup so that I can finally run games like supreme commander and command and conquer 3! hell, with that gaming rig i can even run crysis!!!
