Here's mine. Mind you, I'm 17, in High School, and can't find a job. So, I'm pretty content with what I have. Behind where I took the picture is my 360 and my TV.

The moniter is just temporary (I HOPE!!), the keyboard and mouse are 'borrowed' from school, and the tower I built out of spare parts I found. Well, I found the case, and ripped everything out except the CD drive and MB. I put in a couple HDD's, and an extra CD drive. I then bought a new graphics card and audio card, and for Christmas I got that external hard drive on top of the tower and also a wireless card. That big thing next to the tower is a scanner, bought new in...'97? Sometime around then. Also, the reason the case is missing the front is because I put in an extra fan beneath the power button, but the case was blocking it. So I have two fans, one in the back sucking in and the other in the front blowing out. I pride myself on my awesome desktop, but I need to buy a gig of RAM, however my mom says we can't afford it right now. Bleh.

What are your computer specs? Also, it is possible to pick up a multi-purpose printer for less than $30. Mine was $24 and ink cartriges are $7.99... so pretty cheap.

Not bad, you make due with what you have!

I used a 1.2GHz AMD Duron with 320MB RAM and Windows XP for the longest time (almost 4-5 years) before I got a new computer.

And my dad was on an almost 10 year old 350MHz Pentium II box running Windows 2000 and a 5GB hard drive until I upgraded it for him last month.

I know, but I was short and needed a new PSU fast. My plan was to use this temporary then buy the Corsair 520w at a later time.

The Corsair 400w has plenty of juice for that set up with that video card, shouldn't cause you any issue, could probably go up to a 9600GT/9800GT with no issue but that might be pushing it with those hard drives.

My desk, took a pic since it may be the only time in the year that I will have a clean desk lol!

Nothing special other than my lovely MacBook Unibody :D

The rest is my iPod Touch 2ndGen 16GB, an Acer H213H 21.5" 1080P screen. Sure it's not high quality, but it still rocks :p

I also have a Logitech X-540 5.1 Kit and a G9 mouse. As keyboard, it's the MSFT WLD 7000 3Gen, and for gaming I have a Ideazon Fang.
