Game while browse.

Cant tell if serious... I usually concentrate on the game I'm playing when I play but okay haha.

Brackets?

I probably should have cleaned my desk up a bit before posting this, and also the light is awful for some reason... it's not really that dark in here! Anyway: http://i.imgur.com/VKGX4.jpg

There's not much to see in that picture, and I can't even remember the exact specs so I can't even post them in text yet. I will get some decent pictures tomorrow (and of the inside), and find out the specs, but for now I guess I can talk about the hardware on my desk...

The left hand monitor is a 23 inch LED IPS, and the right hand monitor is there to replace a replacement monitor, but has now broken itself so I'm down to one screen or the time being. The mouse is a sharkoon fireglider (or something like that), and I really like it. As for the keyboard... that cost a fiver, but is only temporary because my other one died a couple of weeks ago. I hate it with a passion.

Serious. When you play CSS or CoD or something, you die. You have to wait for the rest (on some game modes) to die to continue. Whilst you're dead you can just browse without having to keep alt+tabbing in and out, whilst making sure you don't alt+tab out long enough to miss the respawn.

Edit: Happy bday recently Charlie, presuming that's a birthday card I can see .

Yeah, I always wished I could do that. Search & Destroy in MW2 is a pain if you die really soon.

Haha, thanks, but no, it isn't It was actually to say thank you for looking after someone's pets for them while they were away on holiday

Lol I swear I see more than one card. You must be such an awesome pet babysitter.

Nope, only one there: that's the trouble with having such a messy desk. There's also the envelope for it, a letter that is waiting to go in the post to magicstuff, and a pile of cash (that was in the card), if that looks anything like a card.

I don't really have a beastly set up like some of you guys do, but here's mine.

Well, when I do school work, I like to have my sources and word open at the same time. A mini study I did showed that 93% percent of window changing resulted in procrastination of some sort. When there was a window to change, the number was less.

Pics of both main builds are coming now.
