Completed Computer Build / Room Tour - June 2011

[SublimeInstrumentals]

How much did this cost combined?

[Oakkiller77]

@SublimeInstrumentals I'm not exactly sure but the desktop (with all four monitors) was just over $4000. The Bose QC15 headphones, Kindle, 15" MBP, iPad and networking gear was around another $3300, and other random stuff (speakers, sub, battery backup, etc.) was about an additional $1000. So the total was roughly $8300.

However, I am the Managing Editor of our high school's desktop publications class, so the 15" MBP, iPad, and most of my camera gear (not shown) was bought through the school.

@Oakkiller77 As a note, everything (besides what was bought though the school) I paid for myself. I do a fair amount of free-lance web design as well as tech support which provided most of the money that funded all of this, although with the crazy workload that I have from school (and lack of time to program), I've been mainly saving all of my income lately.

Awesome Room! What OS are you running on your desktop? I totally would want something like that if it was completely cordless.

[Oakkiller77]

@captcomputer Thank you! I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my main desktop. I use to have a cordless mouse an keyboard, but I really liked the look and functionality of the MS Sidewinder x6 and R.A.T. 7.

[echoless]

hey oAk, what do you do for living?? i mean you still look like a kid that still does his homework. dont understand me wrong but im just asking.

[Oakkiller77]

@echoless I create websites for local businesses, invest my money and do some other random tech based work. I don't have much time to work (I'm very involved with my high school) but am able to save up a respectable amount.
