Well, I finally got my new pair of monitors which I ordered from Newegg. This is the first time using them and I'm happy of with my purchase. They have fast shipping, low prices, and great customer service.

There are two on complaint that I have about this purchase. I order both monitors at the same time yet, each one arrived on separate days with seems a bit weird to me. The second thing I didn't like was both monitors were shipped out just like how you see them in the picture above. If I wasn't around, USP would have just left them out in the open and anyone could have just walked up and taken them.

Here they are, these ,monitors are truly worth every penny I spent on them.

The next big purchase I'm going to be doing is finally getting my DSLR and possibly a new TV. My current camera is not focusing properly and my TV may have electrical problems. I sort of find it funny that I work with a top of the line DSLR almost everyday but I don't own one. My coworkers started to make fun of me for that. Hopefully by December, I will be the proud owner of a Canon T3i.

Today's gallery, I'm featuring Inubashiri Momiji from Project Touhou.
