Hey everyone!

I was on a forum a while ago in which this was a pretty fun little thread. All you do is post a screenshot of your desktop!

Some people have really funny ones.

I think mine is pretty hilarious, if I do say so myself. ;D

Linked for size.

I finally found a pic big enough to use as a wallpaper on a Deadpool comic, with no speech bubbles in it. :D

Yes, no, and more!

It's my Toshiba M400, bought it refurbished off of eBay a few months ago, for about €550.

IMO it beats a cintiq, because it's cheaper and I can actually carry it around. A cintiq requires
you to hook it up to a PC, while this is a 12 inch laptop with a 2ghzC2D/2GB(will run PS, OC,
movies, torchlight, Dawn of War without problems). Most recently I took it to an interview
where I wanted to demo some stuff I made, one of the things was a touch screen game inter-
face, and this was a pretty close metaphor. (my tablet is pen only, no touch)

Though it is slightly less accurate and has less pressure levels, it's good enough for anyone
but a really professional artist. I figure it's about as good as an older series intuos or a bam-
boo. But because mine only has integrated graphics, no Zbrush or intricate 3d modeling.

But then again, I have a newish, offbrand tablet (in pic on left, currently under the desk under
the Toshiba along with 2 old tablet, 3 keyboards, a scanner and some other crap. Also, my run-
ning PC (core2quad, 8gb, 4670, 3.5TB) is in the bottom left alcove, the white PC is my old-slash-
backup one (athlonXP 2400+, 768 MB, radeon 9600pro, 620GB?) which I intend to convert to a
retro-gaming PC. And there's a 15 inch lcd for it off pic. I also have 2 printers (3 technically, but
one's hooked up to my dad's PC atm).

All in all. I have a lot of crap, and my desk is becoming too small, which is why lately I've been
looking at the IKEA site for a nice, wide(246cm) desk, comprised of a kitchen countertop and
some cabinets. Unfortinately my room is only about 260x385 so it'll take some tetris to get it
to fit in along with my bed(200x100), couch(150x100), linnencloset(100x50) and 2 low book-
cases(90x34 each).. plus a dvd pillar, and a standing lamp. And a trashcan.

Heck, it's tetris as-is.

...you can pretty much figure out my room's layout if I tell you the green wall is the long(385cm)
side, and there's a door right next to the custom made desk.

I'm not rambling. Shutup.

It's a bit low resolution though, I need to upgrade my hardware before I go buying a 1080p monitor.

Currently I'm running E8400 OC @ 3.6ghz, 3gb ddr2 800mhz, 9800GTX.
