As someone who currently has 4 computers set up on 3 desks in a 35 sq.m house, I call bs on that.

Well yeah. What I said most certainly was an exaggeration. It's the only place it can go without pissing the rest of my family members off while I'm living at home for the next three months.

I would be more pissed about the cable running across the hallway!

That's actually the vacuum cleaner cable, someone must have left it there. All of my computer cables and jacks are in the alcove.

Yes, I am kinda necroposting, but who cares :/
I kind of gave up on using a laptop and got a small (ish) tower.

Intel core i5 2.8Ghz quad core (up from a 1.66Ghz Core 2 Duo).
6GiB DDR3 RAM (up from 2GiB DDR2 RAM).
1TiB HDD (up from 250GiB).
More card readers than I'll ever use ._.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (I used to use Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit).
Nvidia GeForce GT 420 1GiB (up from a GeForce FX something mobile chip with 128MiB of dedicated and 128MiB of shared RAM).. Not brilliant, I know, but I'll upgrade it I start playing newer PC games.
It would have the same problem as HybridZero's, as although the light on the button is smaller, it has a glowing logo on the front and nice looking glowing lines that fade off towards the back and bottom of the case, but thankfully, they thought of putting a button on the top to turn the lighting off.
I keep my camera and iPhone (3G :[ ) ][/ )]http://i55.tinypic.com/ng6glz.jpg[/img]
The 32in widescreen HDTV I'm using as a monitor at the moment.
Also home to my Wii, 360S and a crappy Sony P90 or whatever that I use as an alarm clock because it's horrible resistive screen hardly works, meaning that by the time I get it to shut up, I'm usually wide awake.
Just out of shot is my old 360, which sadly died not long after the 360S came out, but which was always on it's last legs (fixed 3 times).
