What kind of chairs does everyone have? I am looking to buy a new one because the one I have is not very comfortable. Looking to spend around $100-$200.

Do you mean the Herman Miller Aeron chair?

They are quite expensive - but there is a more affordable model which is as aesthetically pleasing as the big $$$ one.

I snagged mine for 600 on Craigslist, the fully adjustable model. It's really nice, but I need a new backrest for it. That and it's destroying my floor (nothing but plaster... college apartment).

Very nice! I'm thinking about getting an EyeTV to hook up to TWC and my GameCube... I'm addicted to Need for Speed Underground 2.

Might go with this one: Staples.com®. that was easy®.

Tried it out at Staples and it looks pretty nice and has good cushioning.

I would have liked an EyeTV device too, as the TVMini is really nice to use. However, I wasn't going to spend an extra £70 (EyeTV Hybrid) - £115 (EyeTV 250) just to play Gamecube games; the console itself only cost me £40, so £24 is already a lot in comparison.

not really my setup, but my new hottness and my old not as hotness.

I was going to buy a Core Duo BlackBook for $1199, but for $200 more (with edu discount) I think the C2D was a pretty good deal.

So much faster than the G4 800.

Honestly, I don't remember. I bought it so long ago from Staples I think? But it prob will be very hard to find the same one now since its over several years old.

Ugly as sin?

I guess that is a matter of personal taste. It is on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art, you know? Sorry, I couldn't resist - I work for Herman Miller!
