Overview
I'm a student studying ICT and electronics in a small college in east London, UK, so I'm on computer pretty much all the time in college, so at home, I chose to have the best of both worlds.
I have a late 2008 MacBook Polycarbonate, backed up by a Seagate BlackArmor 1TB. Most of the time it's running a Dell S2409W monitor, doing many random things like iTunes and iPhoto, and is very rarely used for work since I have been given a HP m7460, which is also hooked up to the Dell. And, for when I get that brief moment between studies, I sit back and play a little COD on the PS3.
The desk is very small, but it works for what I need; It houses everything, and, although the wires look messy, they are thankfully concealed behind the desk.
I have a 40GB PS3, which is used on a daily basis and is,(like everything on the desk) hooked up to a Samsung Home Theatre system, which provides the sounds that, regretfully, the Dell monitor cannot produce out of the box. The external DVD drive is connected only to the MacBook, which has had a non functioning internal drive for a while.
The HP was given to my by a friend and is used by the whole family at the moment, but mainly me. It has been upgraded to Windows 7 and runs it flawlessly, surprisingly.
The MacBook is a 2GHz Intel C2D, which has been upgraded to a 320 gig hard drive and 2 gigs of RAM, and of course, Snow Leopard.
Both computers use Apple keyboard as I find them easier to use, although it does get confusing when both computers are on. I have been in the situation before of typing something, and then found out I have been typing on the wrong computer. So there you have it, a short overview of where it all goes down. Cheers you guys at LifeHacker, keep up the great work!
