I know this is not search related but it kind of is. There have been many fellow SEO’s in the past that have shown off their office setup. Well I thought I would join the club and show off my brand new setup. The setup you are about to see is my home office location. I also have a onsite work location but I am really not there enough and I do most of my work in the comfort of my home. So without further a due here is my setup.
There are two computers, one is a dell inspiron e1705 that is hooked up to the flat screen monitor on the left. There is a wireless keyword and a razer mouse (for any of you gamers out there you know you want it).
The desktop is a total custom build. Without giving away too much detail about it I can tell you a couple of things. For starters you have to have the 64 bit version of vista to run 8 gigs of ram. There is an Nvidia Geforce 880 GTX which is a 750mb video card. That video card is water cooled. There is 500 gigs of storage and 2 32 gig raptor drives (bring on the speed).
The tower weights almost 60 pounds (crazy huh?). The front has 4 fans to cool the CPU 5 other fans through the rest of the tower. The desktop runs duel monitors which is great for working J.
What do you guys think? I would love feedback.

For the past couple days I have been receiving emails from Bank of America saying there have been unauthorized activity within my account. I knew this was a scam because I don’t have a bank of America account but if anyone does please make sure you DO NOT click the link in this email scam. I have already heard bad stories of people that have been deceived by this scam. Below is the email I received, supposedly from Bank of America.
Email Title: Unauthorized Activity
Email Address: bankofamerica@google.com
Your Online Banking is Blocked
Because of unusual number of invalid login attempts on you account, we had to believe that, their might be some security problem on you account.
So we have decided to put an extra verification process to ensure your identity and your account security.
Please click on continue to the verification process and ensure your account security. It is all about your security.
Thank you.
Continue To Online Banking ( This was the link)
© 2007 Bank of America Corporation. All rights reserved
By clicking this link you and filling out any information you will be sending you account information out to be used against you.
I love it how the people who cooked up this scheme know there unsuspecting victims will click the link even though there are big tells that this is not bank of America.
Let’s examine the big tells shall we?
1. If my account had unauthorized activity the bank would definitely call me not email me.
2. The email address it was sent by is not a bank of America email.
3. The URL it was directing too is not a bank of America email.
The point I am trying to make is to be careful what you read online and how you conduct your finical accounts online.
