www.MrGaryLee.com is holding a contest where readers are asked to show off their home workstation. Up for grabs is a cool Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset, so hey, why not enter! As per the rules, I have posted a picture of my workstation above and the required anchor text, Work From Home, back to his site.

Specs of my workstation include: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ @ 2,700 MHz (10 x 270), Noctua Heatsink with Dual 92mm Fans, 2 GB OCZ Platinum PC-4000 EB DDR, DFI LanParty UT Nforce4 SLI-D, WinFast GeForce PX7300 GT TDH, Two Seagate 400 GB 7,200 RPM SATA 3.0 Drives in RAID 0, Western Digital 80 GB 7,200 RPM SATA, 550w Aspire PSU, Creative X-Fi Sound card, NZXT Zero Case, T1 Internet, BenQ DVD Burner, Dual 22″ Widescreen LCD Monitors, Logitech G7 Cordless Laser Mouse, Logitech G15 Keyboard, Logitech Z-2200 2.1 Speakers.

Laptop specs: Laptop specs: AMD Turion 64 1.8 GHz, 15.4″ widescreen, 2 GB OCZ DDR Memory, Hitachi 80GB 7200 RPM HDD, Radeon 200M Graphics, etc.

The workstation specs are a bit aging but still do just fine for an everyday use rig.

    Your laptop beats my 40GB, 256MB Ram Dell for sure. It’s 2 years old but does everything I need it too, for now at least. I think an upgrade might be instore next year.

    I’ve had it for less than a year but am already looking to replace it. It works great and is pretty fast as far as laptops go, but it doesn’t really suit my needs. I am looking to get one of those sleek 12″ screen laptops. I realized I don’t need a powerful system and Id rather have something very lightweight and easily portable.

    Okay, so with the high-end video card, the widescreen monitors, huge hard drive space, and pretty nice sound card, so why the mere 2.1 speaker set-up? lol. Just kinda stuck out like a sore thumb to me.

    Plus I’m jealous that you got a T1 Internet connection from home. I’m guessing it’s fractional or burst?

    Eh, yeah… I live on a college campus, hence the high speed internet connection. As for the speakers, they work great for music, which is what I use them most for. They are way more powerful than I can ever use right now anyway. The loudest I can turn them up is about 1/10th of the way before it starts to bother the neighbors heh

    Man, how do you manage three screens. I can barely manage one. Anyways - I enjoy these geeky photos and the whole contest thing
