The double sided stick foam didn&#8217;t work out that well for my rear speakers so  I&#8217;m just using rubberbands at the moment. They seem to hold up quite well.<\/p>\n<p>Along with command center, you&#8217;ll see my AT&#038;T 900MHz phone which automatically sends to the answering machine after 2 rings (I don&#8217;t use the phone much as you can see). The phone is actually connected to my computer which I&#8217;ve installed Microsoft Fax (comes with Windows XP) so I can send and receive fax on my computer.

It actually resembles the Mac OS X trash bin quite a bit! I got this back when I came up here at Bed Bath and Beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Behind my computer, you&#8217;ll see my APC UPS and a bundle of wires and cables. Connected to the surge protectors, you&#8217;ll find the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/redirect?link_code=ur2&#038;tag=krunk4everblog-20&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB0002V8KX6%2F\">Linksys PAP2<\/a> (which I mentioned already), a Belkin Wireless Router, my Comcast RCA Cable Modem, and of course my subwoofer.<\/p>\n<p>Next to my desk, you&#8217;ll see a rather old TV and TV stand. I haven&#8217;t touched that in months, but it&#8217;s a good place to put my DVD collection, which as you can see is starting to pile up. As for a DVD player, that TV doesn&#8217;t even support composite (red, white, yellow cables). I watch my DVDs on my computer anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The last thing I&#8217;d mention is my porta-heater which is currently sitting on top of my computer and heating me up from this awful Washington cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it turns out there&#8217;s like only 1 outlet (maybe 2, there&#8217;s a couple that hasn&#8217;t been checked yet) that works w\/o any problems.
