Dorm Tech

College Life

<p>I want to make my dorm room a really cool, high-tech place next semester. Anyone have any ideas of what I can do/buy to make this happen?</p>

<p>High tech as in gaming systems? Televisions and computers and such? You have to be more specific.</p>

3

<p>The only way you can do this is to spend a lot on nice speakers, a nice large TV, and get video game consoles. Possibly even a wireless router</p>

<p>The important thing is to find a balance of how much expensive stuff you feel comfortable with having in your room and possibility of theft.</p>

<p>I’m not going to bring my turntable, receiver, and nice speakers to my dorm (not only because they’d take up half of my room) because I would always be worrying about my stuff getting stolen (even in a relatively safe dorm it just takes one person leaving some doors open).</p>

<p>I would probably stick to stuff that isn’t going to be too movable. Maybe a TV (use a headset you can put away instead of nice speakers), a console (but don’t just leave it laying out), and your computer.</p>

<p>I’m thinking of waiting until I get an apartment to bring my turntable and record collection down, but you can probably do something like that without worrying as much about theft.</p>

<p>High-tech is all about perception, so you should aim to make a high percentage of your stuff high-tech. That’s done by having few items, but making sure everything you get is high-tech.</p>

<p>Some ideas include:

  • Really cool speakers
  • Nice alarm clock
  • Carbon-fiber luggage
  • Vacuum sacs
  • Military-style blankets / sheets (or even a sleeping bag)</p>

<p>Whole idea is to keep it simple: a few key items will make the difference between your room looking low/high tech.</p>

<p>lol at wireless router one.
A friend of mine has:
-projector
-nice speakers
-2 gaming consoles
and those are enough to make it techie</p>

<p>Nothing says high tech like a military bunk bed?</p>

<p>When I was in the military, my sheets were white with a thin green blanket.</p>

<p>Soooooo hi-tech.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention Coffee Pot.</p>

<p>Nothing says Tony Stark like a nice Coffee Pot.</p>
