What Was In The Retro Room and Server Room in December 2012
This is what my server room and retro room looked like in December 2012.
Here's what it looks like now.
Note to creeps, burglars and freaks: this house is protected by an alarm
system, hidden webcams recording off-site and my laser-sight
.40 Glock pistol (loaded with
hollow point). This is not a joke.
If you're more curious about a particular item, feel free to
drop me an E-mail.
