Don't get jealous yet, lol. I left my dorm room window open all weekend (when it was like -3 degrees outside) and when i came back my pc was running this. I just thought it was funny.

Here is a pic of my complete rig, from the Xbox and Printer on the Left to the Dual monitors. http://upload.thefordmccord.com/pics/Rig1.JPG And a close up of my work area. http://upload.thefordmccord.com/pics/Rig2.JPG And the beds (mine is the one on the botto...

Thats your problem.
