I have a computer that has one of the latest video cards and it's almost as fast as the new ones out there now. It's a custom rig built for video gaming. With both computers in one room it gets warm quickly so there are 5 fans in the room and I have 6 fans in the tower itself and my husband has 5 in his.
I don't have my embroidery machine connected to the network. I use a flash drive to hold patterns. I listen to my Bose system and have a 18" flat panel monitor as a tv and a dvd player in there.
I don't need a kindle or nook, blackberry or an ipad. I think my Ipod touch is the latest electronic device fad I have.
