Why only 1GB of RAM in your desktop?

Why do you have 3 mouses, 2 headsets and 2 keyboards?

Other than that: *drools*

not gonna speak for Duke, but lots of hard core gamers and audiophiles alike switch between whatever music/game they are playing for headphones

and some gamers dont use their every day typing keyboard with their gaming keyboard or media keyboard ect

Reasonable conclusion, except for it's duke, and he has 2 pairs of the same headphones

I would hate to see Duke own something like a sennheiser 595 or beyer DT990's just to see them broken within a month.

Duke, I remember seeing like the Matrix figures in like a pic of your setup like couple months ago. Where did you get them? I'm not looking for the Matrix figures, as much as I am looking for a website with like alot of game/movie/music/tv figures
