Still no cooler. I cancelled my order, because the company kept telling me it would arrive soon, but when I checked the tracking number, it wasn't even shipped. I ordered a new one instead, from the actual manufacturer.
In the meantime, I've made progress on the room too. I got some rugs and chair mats, and a room air filter, to try to keep the dust down.
I also bought a standing desk for my laptop.
Finally, I added a Klipsch 2.1 speaker system to the Alienware computer, because I was tired of wearing headphones all the time. I'm not sure what I'll do for the new system yet, but I'll probably just buy another Klipsch system. Maybe Bose?
