NOTE: My camera sucks! :(

Ok, I'll post my setup. It's meager in comparison, but I like it:

Apple MacBook 1.83 ghz Core Duo; 1.25 GB RAM

(Behind it is a JBL OnStage II that I got for 60% off. :o





My Gaming Rig :D


On the bottom shelf, out of view is my 800 Watt Samsung HT system, with 5.1 speakers mounted at the ceiling corners of my room. 8)


Widescreen gaming on my 30" CRT HDTV (Showing the Half-Life 2: Episode II trailer 8)



Coming this December, a widescreen LCD, probably the 2007WFP. :D

[quote]Mongorian could you arange your signature in a horizontal format like most people look at mine for an example (It takes up less space that way ;))



firstly, who made you a moderator...?

secondly, that isn't his signature, he has simply posted the specs of his PC. :roll:



And I think the blue glow is nice through that mesh, I wouldn't say its bright at all. If it was a perspex window I can imagine it would overpower the monitors a lot more.
the LEDs arent bright at all. I sleep with those on in my room. Can really feel the 140mm fans though.

I was delusional that day...

Of course i wasnt keeping in mind the fact that cameras make brights obscenely bright and darks super dark..

Thanks! I love it too. I'm a little sad because it just got Core 2, and I have Core Duo, but such is being a computer user. It's ok, because I definitely wouldn't have traded having it during this past semester just for Core 2 Duo.

omg, I almost died, you said coming this december TOO close to HL2 EP2...


Oh, sorry...didn't think about that. I'm really ticked, too. Summer 2007?!?! :(

Hmm, well truthfully, they're getting kind of rare here in the US, even (not just Sony's either). I got an AMAZING deal on mine ($600 USD) back in 2005. Mine's special too, because it's one of the last ones made to still use Superfine Pitch technology. I love it! As for UK people, I'm not sure what you have equivalent to say a Best Buy or Circuit City, but you'd want to try a brick & mortar retailer, I imagine.

that room is awesome :D


Thanks! :D

Actually just two days ago, I got the urge to change the scenery a bit in my bedroom, so I moved things around a bit.

Here's the entry shot, complete with accidental HDR! :D



My fun station:


When I'm playing an intense shooter or on Live or something, I'll play in my office chair, but for something less fast-paced, I like to kick it in my old-school recliner: 8)




I don't do much "commanding" in this center, but it's a pretty good bedroom, and working a lot allowed me to buy all the cool stuff that my friends envy. 8)

Plus, I'll be moving out of my parents' house into an apartment in January (I'm 20), and between my roommate and myself, I think our apartment will be the cool place to hang out. :D

P.S. Check out the HDR lighting in the first pic, and the motion blur in the third one. I said earlier that my camera sucks, but I was wrong. It's NEXT-GEN!

:lol:

Received my Viewsonic VP2030B today :D
It works like a charm as a secondary display in PIVOT. Looks almost like a widescreen, but of course it isn't. Annoyingly the NVIDIA drivers won't let me have both dualhead and SLI on simultaneously.
No dead pixels or light bleeding. Also much better blacks and seems to band less than the 3007. Good monitor. :D

unusual to just have the one portrait monitor there, is it just a lack of space?

I mean I'm sure you have enough desktop realestate now!! But its always nice to have thing symmetrical :P
