Technically that would be the Swedish Dream.

That wide angle lens is pretty generous in conveying space, TV is actually some 3m from where you sit. Fine for gaming, OS usage is not optimal though. Need a 70" TV!

Why the long case?
The BoConcept sideboard is just around $1400, and Togo setup in complete is probably over $3000, with the Arco sitting right around $2000 even (price was raised for some reason). The rest of the occasional and coffee tables are probably from twentyonetwentyone, each a little over $500 themselves. You can even factor in the price of all the art as well, which is not cheap either. This is all considering he purchased retail, which I highly doubt he did, but I have been wrong before.
The problem with IKEA is that the materials are shit, and not made to last more than one move. His collection may cost more than a tv each item, but they are all built to last a much longer time frame. The only reason IKEA is so popular in America is because expendable furniture is so popular. I am almost certain Scandinavian principle is much different. Living in a home like Chitta's is like living in a museum itself, because each item has a historical significance. (Arco lamp, Barcelona chair, Artek Table).
Go with Samsung!

I paid good money for this Dynex!

How can you possibly justify this.
I DISAGREE!!!
So pleased with my Plasma Sammy PN51D550. I don't know how their LCD/LED's are, but if they are of the same quality there plasma line is, you are in for a treat with them

Actually, I dunno about their plasmas, but I'm guessing Panasonic's are still better.
But for LCDs, there is mad input lag, even with all of Samsung's bullshit "features" turned off. It's about as bad as displays get for games.

Not if you use HDMI input 2, ment for PC's. You'll get no input lag and strait to display picture.

Less, but not completely lag-free unless you tested it against a CRT and can say for certain.
I don't have kids and i can't afford half the shit some of you guys half.

Amen. I wish I had learned this lesson. Not that I don't love my two kids, but yeah.

Well thanks, I designed the space myself. I moved here because I just fell in love with the neighbourhood. Here are some pics of just outside my place :
This one is a fire/water fountain. Really neat in the summer with fog everywhere and fire in the water.

It's the Riopelle one.

I'd love to end up buying in the Old-Port/Business District but it's so freakin' expensive.

I was lucky to put an offer in 2007, even if my unit was just ready late last year. Some legal complications but in the end I got a done deal.

Yeah, in the last few years, prices have just sky-rocketed. Sucks.
Anyway, you got a great place!

Actually I was in Germany that day and saw my building being vandalized on France 2 news. At least I was heading home the day after; there wasn't much damage. Still you can see some bit of red paint left on the fountain from that day on the picture I took.

Yes, thanks. I designed the layout of place.
Looks like the Ikea Galant

IKEA GALANT+extension
Shitty camera phone shots
New set up-
Other side of the wall
What colour's your wall? Black? It doesn't look incredibly dark, and since my desk is wooden I think it'd work quite well. Getting bored of white.
Edit: was also looking at the GALANT desks, and couldn't find one like yours. They all seem tall, or the legs are weirdly positioned.

Black paint. It doesn't look dark because I lightened up the picture in iPhoto(really hard to take photos in a dark room with an iPhone)
But if you like dark colors I can't recommend black enough. It feels like a movie theater.

First thing I saw.
Amazing.
I feel bad for you.
Hey Gameboy, seems like I can't see your images on photobucket.
Any chance you dumped all the pics anywhere else? I love to peep shelves
Simple and clean, lovely. N64 hooked in bedroom represent, Mission Impossible always plugged in.
And to continue the jellyness: next apartment I'll check the walls, first thing I'll do. This house has rocks in the walls, so I can't hang shelves, and the floor is kinda curvy, and the walls too, setting everything is a nightmare.
Also, I'm lazy.
