Re: Merged: Show us your box!

As I bought a nice digital camera today (no webcam though - lying salesman!!! ), I thought I'd take some pictures of my box, and, erm of my flat...so here they are:

(click image for 1600x1200 version)

Messy insides:


Mmm, a 20Hz 250W RMS subwoofer:


The whole thing, those Ikea desks rock!

Er, the kitchen:

Gratuitous bathroom shot:


And finishing up with the view from my window:


System specs:
AMD Athlon 3200+ Barton (200Mhz FSB)
1GB PC3200 DDR RAM (running at 400Mhz)
260GB total HD space (both at 7200RPM, 200GB with 8MB cache, 60GB with 2MB)
ATI Radeon 9600XT (overclocked)
Asus A7N8X Deluxe-E motherboard
Black NEC DVD/RW drive
Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS 7.1 THX-certified Platinum Pro
Creative Gigaworks 750 7.1 THX-certified active speaker system (750RMS power, 250W just for the sub!)
Logitech MX Pro wireless keyboard and mouse combo

I think that's it...
