Wallpaper, for those who may ask: Link
So this will be used mostly for gaming (Skyrim, LoL, some others in the future), editing photography, and some design. I had a few issues with it in terms of cables, but otherwise everything went smoothly. Lots of cursing was done, but otherwise I'm very happy with how it went. :)
So now that that's all done, I'll be buying some other things for it later on. I need a new desk (current one is free), a new keyboard and mouse (waiting for a good, cheap deal), and a new monitor (because dual screen is best screen).
