Cool. Don't forget that if you do work in your office and earn business or self-employed income, you may be able to deduct a proportion of your home expenses as business expense.
iKWICK - yeah, that's an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 or similar - I have one myself. Beautiful prints if you use the right paper. Finicky as the devil to set up paper, print drivers, ink and colour balancing.

What I see is that awesome ergonomic mesh chair (right?) How much did you wind up paying for yours?

It is a Herman Miller Aeron Chair - My mom works for Herman Miller and gave it and an Eames Chair to me as a college graduation present so I don't know how much she paid but you can get them online at http://www.homeofficesolutions.com/ - they appear to start at $899 with free shipping (but I don't know how well that will work because this chair has so many options and features - I had a 1hr sitting to be fitted and taught about all the levers and switches it has for adjustment.)

Figured as much, that's about the price I've seen. My mom got her work to buy her one and it does wonders for sitting at a desk all day, no more back pain etc anymore. I wanted her to try to get me one but that isn't gonna happen 😛 And lord knows I can't afford to spend 900 dollars on a chair 😉

Would either of you recommend one? I've been looking to get one to primarily print out some AutoCad drawings (black and white plans and such) and some color renderings eventual (about time I started making a portfolio!). CompUsa always has an Epson and a Canon on sale for about 399.

I really like my 2200 but for just black & white / line drawings I don't think you would need the same detail provided by the 2200. I would suggest the Epson Stylus Photo 1280 (MSRP $399) for lower resolution/line drawings or the Canon i9900 (MSRP $499) for light duty photography as well. Or try to get a second hand 2200 off eBay.
