For all you folks who are desperately curious about my creative environment, here it is! I know, I'm a little behind the curve. Photo was taken yesterday. Where should I begin?
In the lower left corner, my HP Officejet 7310 All-in-One rests atop the fridge in which I keep my Mt. Dew supply. Behind that is Guru, the IBM RT 135 that doesn't work because I don't have a keyboard for it just yet. Atop Guru is its tape drive. Next to that is my current secondary desk, constructed of cinder block and plywood slabs; it doubles as a bookshelf on the other side. On this side, a DigiKey catalog and several tapes for the RT are visible.
Atop this desk, that pizza box is a SPARCstation by the name of Morningstar; it is my hope to turn it into a purely astrophysics workstation, where I can work with both observational data and theoretical models. The giant monitor on top of it actually goes to Guru. Behind all this, a faint glow is just barely visible from Vinny's enclosure.
Moving to the right, we have a glass and metal desk purchased from a local couple at a moving sale; the father had made it himself. Obviously, it's stood up to the shit I've subjected it to, so it was built well. The black monitor is a 18" Dell Trinitron; currently on it is the display from my Pentium 4 PC, AdamMalkovich. That picture is of the galaxy I Zwicky 18. Next to the monitor is a switch to flip the display from AdamMalkovich to Morningstar.

When the TCC decommissioned the Sun room, the SS20s all went to auction; a friend of mine ended up with the lot of them. (Actually, the guy who made the comment above yours. :P ) As for the monitor, that thing is about 120 lbs.; since I posted this, I've gotten that machine up and running as well.
Sure! I'll actually have money by then, so that would be great.

Well, keep in mind this picture was taken four years ago. I don't even live in that house anymore. :P
I'm a collector of old computers; it's something of a hobby of mine, to see these old machines still working. That having been said, I'm writing this comment on a PC I built within the past month with state-of-the-art hardware, so I've got quite the range in age.
Also, the all-in-one is a printer-scanner-fax machine, not a PC. :P
