What’s up 2011 - Finally, the 3rd Room Project!

Let me announce that the 3rd Room Project is now in working condition.
Some changes have been made due to space limitations and such but all is well. Surprisingly, everything seemed to fits very well in the room. Got some plans to add more stuff. Most probably another monitor to add to my 14” laptop, maybe some romantic IKEA lamps (lol), dustbin (buy-list), wall rack (wish-list) and etc et cetera… Here is some pics taken with my Torchie.

AND, I have already bought a nice and affordable chair (named “VERNER”) from IKEA (above). More pics of it below.

With the home-office [the 3rd Room Project] is now in place, I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately. But in a geeky way lah. Haha.

Was planning to buy a new powerful machine specially for gaming AND transform my current ATOM MiniPC into Network-Attached Storage (NAS). But after some consideration, I have decided to postpone the project; indefinitely until I get more moolah. I’ve come to a realization that the “new machine” would be so expensive. *Sigh*

But while doing the research on NAS, I have been introduced to FreeNAS. A dedicated OS for NAS systems. Very nice. I’ll come back to that when its time. ;)
