    har de har It does look a bit minimalist there I must say but the flat is on the market so simple is best (at least thats what the forty eight different property shows tell us)

    Thats why I have taken half my records back south to the parents, which to be honest is not much fun when you go looking at whats left for the record you know is 100 miles away!

    Well my computer is in this picture, as you can see. It needs another silver front plate for the CD Writer I've just put in it (which you can see as the black bit in the case).

    gary,
    thought you'd like it ;)
    i've taken the sides off my pc as i can't be bothered uprating the cooling and i've stuffed both of them with hard drives. if the sides are on and the ambient temperature goes over about 35 degrees then the machines shut down due to the safety sensors. still thanks to some good house insulation and a small electric oil filled radiator in my hallway i can heat my entire house until about mid november without having to fire up the central heating.
    my monitor is a big 19 incher and the laptop has a 15 inch widescreen jobbie. the other laptop isn't used and there is a kvm switch buried in there somewhere so the big monitor can be used on both pc's. the one on the left is my main workhorse pc and the one on the right is my music / print server.
    cheers

    The way I see it is if all you guys are going to live with the sides off your computers then it had bloody well better be silent.

    Any other mac owners out there want to show what stylish living is all about? ;)

    PCs can be cute too!

    [​IMG]

    The PC hides behind the sofa but it's quite smart in silver and black. There's a printer and a boom box back there somewhere too.
