I feel you I use a bunch of books I've read as a laptop stand. And I'm currently trying to save up for a £300 ($468) custom built Chillblast computer, a monitor, and a keyboard. So far I've saved £2 ($3). Yay!
Awesome! Your setup is really clean. I like it PRO TIP for iPhone users: turn on HDR when you take pictures to get an equal amount of dark and light exposure. That removes the ugly bright-screen effect.
I could have sworn you would have mentioned the Doctor Who things instead of the shoes =P Those are basically all shoes that all 3 people wear, plus a couple of boots of mine that wouldn't fit on the rack in either of the closets.
I do love the Doctor Who things Though I'm struggling to see that framed picture below the poster because of the curtain. Just did not expect 4000 shoes
Ah framed picture is my high school graduation pic of me, my bro, my mom and my dad. It got moved a bit to make room for new monitor and I havent found where to put it or the xbox that's behind it in a shadow box. I'd put them on top of the shelf part, but the cats love to jump up and down from there and i dont want them to knock it down. It's a WIP i guess =P
For those of you that think your setup is cheap and improvised, take a good look at my setup again.. See right below the second monitor? Yeah, that's some hardcore Mom's magazines.
