I've created a monster (Workstation)

So I've finally got around to buying, and building myself a new workstation. This has been anticipated for a while. I'll cut right to the specs and then some pictures. I think everything should speak for itself. All hardware arrived 100% perfectly working, and I am extremely happy with the overall setup. The case is..well.... HUGE. It's a full tower - I'm afraid my desk will collapse beneath it.

You know I got bored and decided to look through your pictures and noticed something.

You have ALL KINDS of cool and expensive shit in that room but my instincts told me something was out of place. So I decided to give the first picture another glance and found it.

You have AT LEAST 4 monitors, 3 towers, 2 or 3 printers, studio headphones, a good looking power set up and an executive chair. Thats when I saw it. All that expensive and great equipment/furniture and your using a plastic $5 dollar footstool!

I think your next investment needs to be in something a little more fitting to your office.

P.S. Lets see you do this with how much money you spent on a mac! Emotion: tongue.gif
