Here's some of them. The majority are in boxes at the moment. ( Have not unpacked everything from last move).



Half of these are console cd games the other is computer games.

Very pricey for a good one, I have 2 19" screens at work, but I still prefer the image on my 21" CRT monitor at home.

This 24.1" LCD monitor supports 1920 x 1200 resolution at 60Hz and full 24-bit colour performance.

But is very expensive.

still not as good as most CRT monitors, i cant stand the flicker at 60hz, 24bit isnt that great, all crts these days can handle 32bit, and id imagine it wouldnt be as fast as a crt either

I have a laptop and a normal desktop computer.. both incredibly old! Both with windows 98 :jab: As you can see my desk is reaaaalllly messy lol (yeah whats a desk without shoes on it LOL). And my bed becomes my other desk with my laptop and my super cool Twister stationary and some wonderful centrelink paperwork!! Usually i just lie in bed with my my lap top and cruise the net, ah to be lazy
All will change before i go back to uni this year.. i am on the lookout for a BIG desk right now, that i can fit my crap and the computer with space to spare (for that all importent study)! And i cant have a corner desk so this is making the search all the more difficult. Ah well.

Take another look at my desk (first post), FordChick. It a BIG round the corner one. I picked it up a couple of years ago at the ex-government warehouse seller.
