@c ? Hah
@matigo wouldn't be surprised. It's pretty much standard for any 賃貸物件, no? Any house I've ever lived in has had the same.
@matigo dropping (most of) the cash now. honestly, though, I've been pleasantly surprised by how relatively cheap everything is. my "dream" setup is only about $1700 when this finicky Mac Pro sitting beside me now was over $2500. (the graphics card is coming later, which will add about $600 to the price, but then it'll surpass the Mac Pro by leaps and bounds)
The plans for my new computer are coming together quite nicely. I went to Akihabara to see some cases today, and I think I've picked one. All that's left to do is press the "buy" button on Amazon and hope that my wife doesn't think it's too big :-S
