Stuff bought today for my "listening area", if you can call it that. (I guess you can. Very little gear though! Just my portable rig, consisting of just two things, with a different source!)
Excuse the rambling. Just copied from the last thing you bought thread, so excuse the talk about paint, and under bed storage etc.
I'm tempted to get an E-MU 0404, run my PC's optical to it, and my laptop's USB to it, then outputting to a little dot tube if funds permit, and maybe some better speakers (book shelves/old used monitors?) then a pair of open cans (bedroom use only. Livewires downstairs in lounge with E-MU, or a smaller DAC if i can afford one? Would buy just closed, but I like to game too. Not sure what to do yet. Some open cans are crap for gaming too...)
Just all the pretty new furniture and big desk is crying out for a DAC/amp and tube amp and nice headphone stand with matching wooden bookshelves!
200cm desk top. Out of stock
8 weeks unless we find one elsewhere.
x5, for the huge desk (when we finally get the top!)
Bedside table. E-MU and little dot would shift over here every night with my laptop/Cowon D2, then back to the desk after school in the evening.
x2. Going above desk. Books mainly. Thought the brackets were black to match everything else, but just a shadow. Silver. Oh well.
New bedside lamp. My current little spotlight one will go on my desk.
Sub £2 clock for my desk. Got one for my bedside table already. - both digital. Hate the ticking of analogue at night!
Most expensive thing bought. So comfy. More comfy than the 2.5x more expensive one! Was £96 or so. Saw this, which would be perfect for a listening area, but no room in my room, and was too low for the desk:
--
Cheap blanket. Hopefully will match bed linen. Will have to aim for a darker blue bed linen than the walls, should match this, and look great. If not, oh well, was only cheap.
Tall narrow mirror with medium thickness + width dark frame.
Coasters, as not to make rings on the untreated pine surfaces.
For ties and belts in the cupboard.
+ 6 way surge protection strip for desk stuff + 3 way socket coupler (mine was pinched for another use).
----
All untreated pine. Lots of black accents on a light-ish blue. Going to POP! Will look great I think. Will post before and after pics once I have everything in a month or so if anyone is interested.

Love the huge desk and chair. Will be great for a pair of book shelf speakers, E-MU 0404 fed by USB from laptop, and optical from PC, going to maybe a little dot or something if funds allow, and open cans (in quiet room, music and gaming, and Livewires still in the lounge with the E-MU or a cheap - smaller - amp/DAC maybe if funds permit), and eventually maybe closed cans too (for feeding with mainly just the 0404 alone in the lounge with laptop). Nice small easy to move to bedside rig too.
Just need paint (light but sort of vibrant blue), bed covers, wood floor, under bed storage vinyl covered boxes, roller blind, THE BLOODY DESK TOP (got the damn clock, coasters, chair and legs, but no desk top!) and this funky stuff to make the grain effect on my cupboard doors. All of the stuff pictured above was a few pence over £200 (excluding the desk top which we havent got yet, and including some other stuff for the rest of the house.) Pretty good considering the chair was £100 of that. So, £26 for the desk top. £100is for the floor. Giving us £100 or so for the blind, bed covers, under bed storage, wood grain paint kit, and paint for the walls.
Was going to get a big £50 print of Chicago with car light trails in colour for the wall opposite my desk (bed wall). Apart from the light trails (long exposure pic) the rest was in greyscale (dark, fits in well!) and add £20 to the budget of £30 my mum gave me for a print. Not so sure though. Thought the yellow and red light trails didnt match the light blue and black scheme too good, but the rest which was black and white did... Might go out and try to take a nice picture to my specifications for the colour scheme and get it blown up and printed. Would be nicer to use my own pic too...[/size]
Excuse the rambling, i'm just very excited about having a "new" room!
