Before anybody critiques this I should clear up a few things:

1. I was on a budget so I got the cheapest 10-gallon tank Petco had.
2. I'm waiting for the tank to cycle before I add my fish.
3. The plants and ship were free.
4. I know the water level isn't correct.

Total out-of-pocket cost: $55

New monitor arrived today. It's... wide. :lol: I like it though. For a TN, it's quite good. It's also making me really miss DVI (forgot how bad VGA is as I'm so used to it).

wait... so that Acer is a 23" and the monitor on the left is a 24"??

The monitor on the left looks quite a lot bigger.

The monitor on the left looks quite a lot bigger.

It's all due to the aspect ratios of the two monitors. For me, the right one looks a lot wider. The 23" is actually a half-inch narrower though (20" wide screen vs. 20.5" wide screen). It's because the one on the left is the standard 16:10 (1920x1200) while the one on the right is 16:9 (like a HDTV, 1920x1080). It's also due to the base height (I need to raise the right one up a few inches).

The less vertical height of the screen is indeed a bit of a pain, but I decided I'd rather have the extra resolution (for $30 less, I could have gotten a 22" 16:10 1680x1050).

Yes, they're uploaded pictures, but next time I'm home I'll get some real pictures.

I'm using it as my PC monitor and hometheater for my PS3.

Been a while since I posted in here ...

Your image hotlink failed, but I did manage to determine that you bought a Magic Arm kit, which is cool. I love mine!

New chair arrived today, been needing to replace my current one for almost a year now:

[Hercules286]

I want to replace my chair, but I'm afraid my cat will make it full of speed holes like the one I'm sitting on.
