Over the years, I've been tweaking my computer setup more and more to optimize it for playing poker. I'll post two pictures and explain why I have what I have:



Specifically:

1. Two 24 inch Samsung 2494 HM LCD Monitors. Ordered using my FTP Points from the FTP Store. Love them so far.

2. Logitech LX8 Corldless Laser Mouse. Very fast, feels great in my palm, but sometimes will lose connection which is why I have (#3) below. The mouse sits on a Fellowes Mouse Pad.

3. A backup wired laser mouse from Dell.

4. RSA Security Tokens for PokerStars and Full Tilt.

5. Chair from Office Depot. Not sure on what the brand name is but it was around $200-$300 and is very, very comfortable. I basically sat in a bunch until I didn't want to get up from one. That's the one I got.

I also have a regular Dell keyboard which seems to work very well for me.

Onto the more important stuff:



1. RodeoBlue helped me pick out my tower. We ordered everything from newegg.com and I put it together myself (well ... with Rodeo's help via Skype). Here are the highlights:

HardDrive: 3 OCZ Agility Series SSD's in array.

Motherboard: Gigabyte LGA 775 Intel

Processor: Intel Core2 Quad-Core

Case: Antec Three Hudnred Black Steel ATX

2. Fatal1ty Gaming Headset. Seems to do the trick, but def nothing top of the line.

3. Seagate BlackArmor NAS 110 1TB Storage/Backup HD. One downside of having the SSD's is that I have fairly limited storage in my actual case. Since I make a lot of videos which take up a lot of space, I need to selective with what I keep/don't keep on the computer. This allows me to move files very quickly between the storage and my computer. Serves as a backup as well.

4. Charter broadband internet. Fastest I could get in Athens. Which isn't all that fast.

5. ATT DSL internet. Yes, I have backup internet.
