When my mom went to the Hallmark store she would get me an Opus plush. Right now I have 4 of them.. and I loved Bloom County. The creator went to the same university I attended. The University of Texas.

That's pretty neat about Berke Breathed going to your alma mater!

It sure is.. but lots of people went there. What I loved about it was the city.. lots of live music and great food. Oh and the university was amazing.

Well I rearranged my desktop so I could mate my monitors better - had to place the Vanatoo speakers horizontally. Got a new wide mouse pad and some other improvements. Didn't set out to make this a stealth theme, just ended up that way.

Very nice. And look how clean everything is! No clutter at all. That certainly is a wide mousepad!

LOL. Ooo... I do like that wall color. And your computer. That's nice, too.

An artist owned this house previous to us. Color coordinated doors and walls and pretty much all wood ceilings. Here is my office ceiling (these last two were taken with phone):

Ok, in the spirit of Black Friday, I got this 8" Alexa device from Amazon for cheap and setup my system to be turned on and off by voice command from any Alexa device around the house.

When I say "power off" it will only shutdown the PC. But when I say "system off" it will shutdown the PC and turn off all the lights.

I got rid of my bulky speakers and use the Alexa speaker instead via bluetooth. Alexa speakers sound big.

That is a sweet setup you have going there. And look at how clean everything is!

I like to keep an open case. I change components so often nothing else really makes sense. For overclocking I just unplug the rig and walk it out to the garage. I keep a small monitor there, along with mouse and keyboard. As you can tell I am much more about function than form. :scream:

Need spare parts always

Glad to see you here! Nice rig and space.

I live in condo (retired senior citizen). I have an 18" TV next to my pc monitor
and I "multitask" between PC and TV

I have a desktop PC and an 18 inch TV on the side.

I multitask between watching TV and working on the Computer.

No gaming. Prefer watching Netflix and Amazon videos on my PC and not
on the TV. I rarely go to the bigger "stupid" TV in the living room which has an
AMAZON TV stick

Hi,

Did you mean to post a picture. Nothing is showing.

EDIT: As soon as I posted this I see your post with attachment. Niice use of the space.

I had to post twice. The pictures that I posted with the first one were too large. I failed to read the message that the picture was too large to post. I then posted again with a shrunk picture. I thought that I had deleted the post without the picture but is still there!

A panoramic view of my junkyard. (New desk is being designed as we speak!)
Can you believe I got that disorganized mess into an 8X9 room!?!?!? :wink:
