May 28, 201115 yr I have a problem with ordering parts and not opening or setting them up. I'm serious here, my living room is loaded with about 30 boxes of unopened stuff, I have a huge box which holds my 4 3x5.25" to 5x3.5" converters as well plus my antec 1200 case which alone weights about 50 pounds. I got a set of new speakers for my TV out there, I got two 4 bay disk drive enclosures, I have about 40-50 2TB hard drives, I have enough parts to build my HTPC but I need to send the top of the case out to get a custom cut done on it as well as my cool master case in my room, after I get that done I can build my HTPC and be one more step closer to a clean living room! my over all plans are to make my living room my man cave with the exception of my moms computer which is just one of my old ones, I have a PSU and a ton of blue LED's for a pc that I plan on wiring in behind the back of my entertainment stand to have it have a blue glow at night when I'm watching movies. I've got PS1/2. N64, NES, Super nintendo controllers all with USB adapters to play any ROMS on the system, I even loaded it up with a pretty nice graphics card that will play games such as call of duty on medium/high (forget what model it was, it was a ICE though) So what do you guys think about that? Do I have a problem or what? I hope to have this finished one day, the reason I haven't really is cause I have chronic pain and two chronic diseases and my mom suffers from depression so she only helps when she's feeling up to cleaning the big mess in the living room and I myself have two chronic diseases and a broken back (compression fracture in my lower back) but yeah overall I have about 5-10k in pc parts in my living room begging to be assembled...Do I have a problem? I mean I'll repeat it again, I got all the parts for my unraid set up except for the mobo and ram and after market heatsink and cpu.I plan on ordering the rest when I get enough money but this month was hard cause I forgot to pay my power and gas last month so I owed big time this month. My living room though is also loaded with bags if pop bottles, all we drink is 2L coke and diet pepsi here so the bags add up very fast. If you guys don't believe me and want pictures I can provide them if you want. To think about it to before my shopping habbits this living room was pretty clean. I've had alot of people "Oh your never going to use those speakers why not give me them and hook them up and I can owe you later for them. Fack that there going to be connected to my TV for some sexy sound effects. It's a shame my mom gets sick from surround sound and can only deal with 2.1 sound but oh well, my sub will vibrate the house and make the good times roll! So yea, any comments on how to get the balls to clean up or to make it tidy around the house? keep in mind I can't do alot of labor work as my back will give out on my and ill be stuck on the floor. Thanks for listening to my little rant, begging for help.

On the plus side, you are not alone, although yours does seem quite a bad case if I may say so...
