1) case displaying 32.6ºC CPU temperature. To the lower left the head of my Saitek Cyborg Evo. Behind the headset the Saitek P2500 rumble pad. Cd rack and mouse (MX-500).
2) an overview of the whole lot. Secondary display is usually off, but I do use it for TeamSpeak and maybe other useful stuff.
3) Rear view, showing sattelite speakers and chair. The BenQ box comes from the display my mother bought recently. The PC there is her old rig (XP 2000+, GeForce3Ti500, 768MB DDR, should be in working order after the GPU is refit).

Yeah ... I still have them ... the screens don't look as bright as the once did.
I don't know if they are getting dimmer or if it is because my Dell is so much brighter.

Paddy,

I can picture you sitting there gaming away with your hair being blown backwards - like in those old Bose commercials :lol:

That "cockpit" of a command centre is just so downright nasty looking. :shock:

It's a great system but there are not too many new games that work well on it ... :cry:

Farcry, Ghost Recon, Yagar and Midnight Club 2 were awesome across the three screens ... it's a shame other card manufacturers didn't take up the idea.

That's a nice tower you got their X-Warrior =)
I really like my Xaser case. Though god damn is she heavy... It's honestly the only nice looking case I've seen on NewEgg. I guess it also helps that everything I own computer related is themed the same, black, red and gray.

Thanks for posting a pic of my setup Doug. I shall get some more suiting pictures though right now. I needed to clean up this room anyways.

And yes, shooting sucks big ones with dual monitors. Paddy's setup is what you want for shooters =) It's damn nice BTW Patty. What is that joystick-like-mabob on the front of the desk???

EDIT:

Got some pictures here...




and... omg the wires ;)


Don't mind the carpet... It's all I had so the chair wouldn't ruin the floor :roll:

Thanks ... it looks great but as I say not quite up to it for playing the latest games ... :(
The thing on the front of my desk is my Thrustmaster Handlebars ... but they have stopped making them now ... :(
... great for racing games ... no need for foot-pedals and 15 buttons at your fingertips ... and I like bikes ... :D

Blimey, framerate, look at spaghetti junction on the floor there! :lol: Iron Maiden, eh? 8)

I would post pics, but I'm lacking a decent digital camera at the present time (I'd really like an EOS 350D, however...) ;)

Would you beleive i actually cleaned my cables up today!? Thats on a good day :) Ive just got too many things plugged in to have any less of a mess!

I just got myself an EOS20D, although i need to spend some time reading the manual and working out all the settings on it.

Ive had that poster up for about 5 years, my wall would look bare without it! I still like Maiden but not as much as i used to :)

On another note, is your name taken from Liquid Tension Experiment 1 album by any chance? :)

I'd believe it, don't worry. If I could actually see the wires around my desktop, they'd probably be worse. 5.1 speaker setups play havok with tidy wires! :D

My old technique was just click away and try things - with the new breed of DSLR, that's no longer a viable option! :lol:

Nope, sorry. I've had that question a couple of times in the past, actually... I'll have to see if I can find that CD. What genre is it? (Not a great fan of rap or techno...)

For a vague explanation of my nick, see this thread:

5.1 does cause a mess yes! Im only using a 2.1 as my room wouldnt work very well with 5.1. With external HD's and external sound cards, and god knows what else i just havent found a way to get a tidy cable arrangement! When i move house ill make a proper cable management system, until then, im quite happy with my fire hazard :)

My problem exactally! Pics from it seem to be a bit dark, and ive yet to find how to increase the exposure (although reading the manual might help!).

Its a bit difficult to explain. Liquid Tension Experiment were a supergroup made out of members of Dream Theater (Guitars: John Petrucci, Drums: Mike Portnoy), an amazing Keyboardist: Jordan Rudess and the bassist Tony Levin (whos played on a ridiculous amount of records by various pop/rock acts). The album came out as a kind of instrumental progressive rock/fusion thing, llots of good musicianship, over the top keyboards, guitars and drums.

Theres some real nice stuff on it, from heavish, to really mellow.

Paradigm Shift happens to be a total guitar shred-fest of "look how many notes i can play!". Good fun song :)

Well its about 5 times louder than my XPC :) But probably isnt as loud as my old pc was! I dont really notice it much to be honest, especially when ive got the audio turned up!

The only problem i get is playing DVD's, it causes my whole desk to vibrate badly, and everything on there buzzes! Also it skips playing DVD's too, which is a shame as the picture quality is great!

Cool :) Ive got a cheap Ibanez bass around the place somewhere that i use for recording, but im not really much of a bassist.

Im am a guitar nut though :) The guitar in my pic is my EBMM Petrucci Sig, ive got 2 Ibanez 6 strings and a 7 string too :)

The pod is pretty good, its not 100% there, but this modeling stuff is getting better, wish i could afford a proper valve amp though :) (and have somewhere to use it properly! not really worth it when im back in uni next year though).

framerateuk, just outta curosity. On your 2405, do you have anything going through component on it? Cause I wanna know if it's only my PS2 that puts out these odd vertical lines through componant. Using S-Video it's not there, but obviously it's less clear.

I'd imagine though since you've got a 360 you've got the VGA cables for it (they make it look so good). But was thinking MAYBE you had componant cause you got the better bundled system (Which comes with componant).

Lemme know :)

p.s. what external sound device is that under your 360 controller?

I did use component, and had a pretty good picture from it (take a look at the "Comfirmed! 2405 FPW HD-Component input for Xbox 360! :D" in the "Technical Support: Closed Tickets"section. But now i use the VGA adapter as the monitor does a better job of scaling the image, and the jaggies are less visible.

I didnt have any issues with vertical lines or anything, i havent tried it with anything else though, ive got a gamecube component cable on the way (although it looks like its lost in the post...) so ill report back when i find out if that works!

The sound device is an M-Audio Firewire 410. Its a dedicated recording card, good quality too, strictly for recording only though, it causes games to crash as the drivers arent designed for that sort of thing!

Its deffinately worth getting, although the colour needs some tweaking (i havent got it perfect yet).

It scales much more like a pc res does.

Nice guitar gear framerateuk.

I just picked up the Line6 TonePort UX2, and an M-Audio Nova mic. to record with.



I'm going to use them for the WSGF Podcast I hope to do soon. And, since I don't have an amp anymore, it will let me play my Ovation Deacon again.

Figure if its a first post, may as well show my nest. Not a WSG yet, but new upgrades are going to come in a few months, so i might be in the future, anyway, here's my current setup.



What's inside the case is a different story, its about 3 year old, but top of the line technology in there.

heh, nice, but you should have waited for the 16ms responce time screens, those 25's must have such ghosting issues.

Nice guitar gear framerateuk.

I just picked up the Line6 TonePort UX2, and an M-Audio Nova mic. to record with.



I'm going to use them for the WSGF Podcast I hope to do soon. And, since I don't have an amp anymore, it will let me play my Ovation Deacon again.


Cool!

The Toneport looks pretty cool! By what gather, it sounds the same as the PODXT. Pretty good choice of patches and stuff to download for the line 6 stuff too, although you need to filter though a lot of rubbish first,! You have to wonder at times why people even bothered uploading some of them!

Here is my desk... bit tidier than the rest of yours :lol:

Running an Acer AL1916W monitor with a microsoft keyboard and mouse









And here is my PC case, its a modified version of the XG Viper1. Internals aren't too bad, 3GHZ pentium 4, 512mb geil platinum ram etc etc (Pictures taken at my old house, poor thing is stuck in the cupboard now :cry: )


















The PC is a bit dated now, so i'll be building a new machine and using this for less demanding tasks (probably a torrent machine)

Will also be getting a 2nd Acer screen in the next couple of weeks as I'm very impressed with the quality of this one 8)

Those are some pretty nice screenies but i'm missing one thing, where is the beer and the snacks.
Your desk is really.............empty.
The good thing of that is that your nice screen comes out a lot better and your arms aren't always resting in a puddle of sticky beer. :P
Looks good man. 8)

The headplug is sweet, but everytime microsoft updates the DirectX standard, i need major brain surgery to upgrade.

I just bought meself a changeable headplug that comes with extra pieces so i can save on the expensive brain surgery.

Just need to sort out the mass of wires under the desk!!

I've just fit a 10 socket surge protector under the corner section of the desk which protects plug sockets, ethernet and phone lines, so many wires going back and forth that its a complete mess!

How can you run 3 screens anyway?

My current graphics card has a VGA, DVI and SVHS output, i've got a convertor for the DVI out to make a 2nd VGA, but where would the 3rd screen go? Onboard graphics?? :S :?

If you don't game, there are lots of possibilities - dual head cards = two screens apiece (if you have twin X1900XT's in a system, you can use 4 Dell 3007FPWs! :shock: - and even game on them! :shock:) Then PCI graphics cards - OK, so they aren't going to be gaming quality, but they'll drive 1920x1200... ;) You could potentially have 4x 3007's and 4x 2405's hooked up to the same box...

So having 2 pci-e cards but not running them in SLI would mean being able to run 6 outputs potentially i guess? 4 Monitors and 2 TV outputs.

PCI-e SLI is pretty new stuff to me, have only used AGP personally and pci-e for basic system builds

This is a pretty old shot (november 2004 looking at the calendar), but the desk has been too much of a mess to take a new shot. This was back before I had the Dell 2005fpw, and a stand for the Powerbook.



One of these days I'll get the office cleaned up for a new shot.

Does anyone have a link to that pic someone posted (I believe it was in the 3007 thread but I can't find it)
It had the new dell 30 inch monitor with 2 2405FPW's in vertical positions on either side...it was amazing!
(they might have been 2005's, not certain)

I'd post mine but i'm in the process of selling my house and moving.

With some of the money I'm going to pickup another 24in Dell monitor heck 2 30's. And a new desktop computer capable of high definition video editing. My computer at the moment blows.

I'm thinking of diving into the wedding slideshow/video business so I think the multiple monitor justifies the purchase.


I really like how your set up is, Urban. When I grow up I want my desktop to be like yours.


Aloha to you haoles.

I usually don't have a need for my laptop while I'm at my desk. Got enough space on my monitor, and tab-switching with a AMD64 and 2GB or RAM is pretty fast!


Note the PS2. The graphics are a bit weird on a monitor, but it's still quite nice!

I want to get a Razer Copperhead mouse with blue lighting to match my keyboard. :)

CodE-E, yeah PS2 on the 2405 is a little odd... It's almost TOO clear in some respects, but the resolution seems too SMALL. I want to pickup the VGA adapter for the PS2, it uses a software CD that makes it so all (supposadly) PS2 games will run in 480p or whatever. I'm interested to know if that will do anything to the FPS in the games.

I got a new digital camera so I guess I'll post some real pics instead of those crappy cell phone pictures.

Notice the cheap desk bowing under the weight of the monitor and keyboard tray :shock:


The tower, showing off the blinding LEDs of the Zalman fan controller.

Thanks, I tried but this is the biggest one I saw :wink: I hate having it under my desk, but there's really no where else to put it. My room is really cramped, so the wall that my desk is against has no extra room at all. The stuff that is against it (bed, nightstand, desk, PC, TV cabinet) is all crammed together so tight I have to pull my bed toward the middle of the room just to make it :cry: I can't wait to move out of here!

Possibly. But since when have fashion critics had a clue? I mean, has anyone actually seen the clothes they think are fashionable now? Jeez... walk through a shopping centre looking like a chameleon on bad acid and see what responses you get... :shock: :lol:

Well - in their defence - their support of no bra's & see-through blouses for women in the mid 60's to 70's was quite appreciated. :shock:

Well - for those OLD enough to remember or who lived in that era. :lol:

Does your PC actually sit at that angle or was it just posing for the photo?

Pretty much posing...but I like it at that angle to be able to look inside...lol


You think the curtains are bad, you should see the carpet....lol I got this place from a crazy old woman, but got a really good deal...We never liked the curtains, but they do brighten things up a bit...lol. Guess we've gotten used to them and don't mind anymore...lol

I'm gonna be honest with you (we are redoing it all this summer), after a year or two, it really starts to grow with you, well, you get used to it...especially with all of the money I saved buying the place. Really, it's not as bad as it looks in the pics. the living room is the last thing we have to do...we've redone the kitchen, 2 kids rooms, bathroom...and started our (my wife and I's) bedroom....the living room is way past due, but we've been putting it off...prob for waaaaaaay to long. :cry:

My laptop's a Dell Inspiron 8500. It's about 2.5 years old now.

As for my cup, I had some cappucino in there. That comment about fungus cracked me up. ;)

"]CodE-E, yeah PS2 on the 2405 is a little odd... It's almost TOO clear in some respects, but the resolution seems too SMALL. I want to pickup the VGA adapter for the PS2, it uses a software CD that makes it so all (supposadly) PS2 games will run in 480p or whatever. I'm interested to know if that will do anything to the FPS in the games.


It's a 2005FPW. The framerates I see when playing PS2 games seems fine. But the picture does seem inferiour compared to a decent TV. Basically everything looks really pixelly and too sharp. Turning up the smoothing in the monitor settings up to the max helps a bit, but it still doesn't look all too great. =/

Haha, yea... I made that last week when I cleaned off all the dust off my heatsink. My temps dropped around 6-7C. So then I made a cardboard box to push all the air from the one fan to go right to the CPU fan... so no hot air from the mobo/gpu gets into the heatsink of the CPU. Pretty nifty and ghetto... it actaully could use a few more small pieces of cardboard too. 8)

The wallpaper is horrible I know but i´m gonna change it. I have done the kitchen, hall and livingroom so far and it looks nice and new. It´s the bedroom that is left.

Thanks.

I was thinking about getting some stand for the rear speakers but I think they would only be in the way when I walk around in that room so I used the wings instead and it works ok for me and I saved money and space :D.

Gilly :D.

OMG! Bongo truman, I have that same desk and I never though of doing that with my speakers!! I have the upper shelves still on because I keep all my boxes and text books up there, but when I get home this summer I'm making mine just like yours, that's a cool setup.

Gilly, i wouldn't do that if i were you. The P180 is also a monster in weight, i broke my back when i placed it under my desk.

Looks like the P180 is a really popular case, i've seen loads of them on the forums.

Nice setups guys.

Yes it is a real heavyweight. But it should be popular. It is the best case I have seen(for end-users). It is really userfriendly inside with all those removable bays, rubber supsension for harddrive to keep noise from spreading. The separated PSU and those big silent 120mm fans. I just love how it is built. And the primary reason I bought it is the sides is made of plastic-aluminum-plastic to keep the noise level at at minimum. I have 2x 10k/rpm disks and I can hardly here my pc running when I go to bed at night. It´s awesome.

Look at the case in my pics. It's a thermaltake xaser V..it's a beast! 5 fans that roar like a jet engine, it's about a foot and a half tall and 2 feet long...must weight in the neighbourhood of 50 pounds with all my stuff in it :S:S

I'm looking to replace it probably lol.

What casings are you looking at to replace it?

I really recommend the P180, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it and we have been together ever since :D.
I build my PC's myself and this was a cheer joy to put together will all the parts.

I think if I rebuild my comp this summer I'll get a new case. My current one is just too loud. I want something with 120mm fans, lots of them, fan speed controllers and hopefully any other cooling stuff, especially if I end up with SLI.

P180, P180, P180 :D

The P180 looked sweet but does it have lots of cooling? I only saw 2 or 3 fans. Maybe I'm wrong.

It has 3 built-in 120mm fans.

What case you choose comes down to what you want.

It´s rare that casings are good at everything so you often have to compromise.

A really good noise reduction.
Really good cooling option.
All the bays you have dreamed of for all those harddrives.
Look cool? :D

This is just some examples.

I choose P180 primarily because of the excellent noise reduction. That is important to me.
But I do think it can be modded to cool really well. Both with fans or watercooling. The average temp I have now with just standard stuff that came with the case is lower than any other case I have had.

Wow, the P180 look so freaking wicked.

I like how the PSU is at the bottom and in its own chamber, I always said if I made a case it would have a seperate chamber for the PSU.
I love the whole thing from front to back, I want it!

As ctrlsteef's review of it went, make sure your ATX connectors are long enough... :lol:

I like the Lian Li V2100... ;) And the Chieftec BA-01 - it's absolutely enormous, though: will definitely give yourself a double hernia trying to LAN with it. :lol:

Fans suck - go water cooled.

Thermaltake makes some of the quietest & highest efficiency cooling systems for just about the lowest prices that can be found.

Haha :D


So far i´m satisfied with the fans. The noise level is at a minimum and I haven´t done any OC yet but in the future i´m going to and then I will look at another cooling solution.

cuz,

The nice 9& safe) thing about TT water systems is that they use compression fit screw couplers - not spring clips - for all the connections.

Actually it does. But i think "beer cooling" your system isn't really good for the hardware. :P

If you want quiet, and aren't watercooling - don't get a Coolermaster WaveMaster! :shock: Three 80mm fans in the thing, and it sounds like it's going to take off! :twisted:

If I can't switch back to my nice big Chieftec soon, I'm gonna go watercooled. Damn the warranty on the case. :lol:

Maybe, if you spill enough beer, the pc will think it's the best one ever made, and will automaticly overclock way over it's limits! But then, it would still brake down.... (but you'll have a super computer for like a split second!)

Lol I just remembered a funny story when you guys are talking about spilling water and beer in your system.

I have a bud who has a family run custom cabinetry shop (http://www.baioccocustom.com shameless plug!) and I built a few systems for them and taught him how in the process. Anyways, he goes to put in new ram or something one night after work, and of course he's drinking a beer as he always is at work (lol) and he spills the beer right onto the motherboard.

He's not an idiot, and he understands that any type of stuff on the computer is going to short it, so he tries his best to dry it up using compressed air and stuff but the idiot doesn't wait long enough though and of course turns it on and poof, it's toast. The dumb guy should have at least waited until the next day for it to dry...oh well it was an old comp anyways.

If I had the money, I'd run a non-conductive fluid in a watercooling setup. That way even if it did leak, it wouldn't knacker the hardware. :)

It's finding enough of the stuff, though...

Great score Gilly !!! :lol:

Now - when all that vegtable oil goes rancid :shock: [insert puke smiley]

& on the last page they state

"but we recommend motor oil."

With the acids & other chemical components of motor oil, I would say it might have the potential, over time, to eat the plastics & polymers used in the case, wires & boards. :shock:
In fact motor oil does a rather poor & inefficient job at best, in cooling even automobile engines.
So much so, that all autos for about a decade now have used auxilary oil coolers on vehicles.
It is rather toxic as well. :shock:

I think they should leave the automobile oils to the gearheads &
the cooking oils to the cooks. :P

might be a "cool" idea, i think H20 is safer :P as one person said, if it hits electronics when they are off, like a CPU for example, if it is dried out properly why wouldnt it work again? if it was at "normal" humidity then it should still work fine i guess

Yeah, I've even heard of people who clean their systems out with water and then bake them in the oven at a very low temp to fully dry them.
As long as they aren't on the water can't damage them (besides causing rust over time I guess)
The damage just comes when connections are made between bits that shouldn't be connected (I guess that's called a short)

Right on IIDX

Also the problem with water (humidity) is that it mixes with the flux on the soldered areas & forms an acidic solution.

I would highly recommend a safe circuit board cleaning spray rather than use water. :shock:
I would also worry about the battery on the MB & it shorting if it was not removed & also any capacitors in the PC or PSU.

Lol that's a logitec z5500 surround sound system, that thing is a beast. My buddy has it and he can't even turn his bass up a quarter or everyone in res complains.

Mullet: The Logitech Z5500's are awesome. I have had them for about 3 months now, and only recieved 3 complaints :D
You can really feel the bass compressing on your chest when the volume is at about 1/2, with just over 50% bass. I love them.
As for the UPS, I think it's a must.. especially since my last Mobo got fried because of bad wiring in the house :( ......so I moved and got a UPS :D

Is there a 3.1 version of z5500? I only need 2 speakers on the desk because I don't really have room to put 2 speakers behind me. That and I really use my headphones the most while on the computer.

If you want a good sound system but can't quite afford the z5500's, get the z5300 sound system from logitech. I have it and it's not quite as awesome as the 5500 but it is still quite amazing, and about half the price.

8" (or 10", not sure) sub, 5 decent speakers and a neat little control pad thingy. Very good system for very cheap.

Well it's not a question about being able to afford it. It's more of a question that I want a powerful 3.1 system because I don't have a place to put the rear speakers. I always use my headphones for gaming but I would just like a very powerful 3.1 system.

You don't really get a Powerfull 3.1 system. If you looking for high output/power.. then it's going to come from a 5.1 or 7.1 system :wink:

Oh and by the way the backgrounds come from http://www.gamewallpapers.com

Of all the HSF's I have used, this one must be the most efficient.
It's super quiet, and stone cold. Some people don't like it because its just so big. I recommend it to anyone looking for a awesome cooler.




*COUGH* needs a good clean :D

Might replace the g-power pro with one.....was expecting to see a little more colour emitted from the fan, my g-power is running at 5v and it does an awesome job BUT....it blows directly onto mobo....so spreads heat onto back of the upper GTX...the Zalman would direct the heat towards the exhaust fan...

Ta for the snap.

I've heard good things and bad things about the CNPS9500... I'll reserve opinions myself until I've had the chance to test one. Provided you have an exhaust fan where it directs airflow, I'm sure it'd be good - I like the CNPS7700, however, for it's size (it covers the mosfets around the CPU bracket and blows air on them, too... ;))

Will definitely be testing out the 9500 as soon as possible, though...

I must say my Idle temp's are around 28° - 29°, after an hour long session of Quake 4 it does ramp up, but I'm yet to see it go over 40°.

My temps right now are at 40c. It was at 34c when I woke up and my room was freezing cold cause I accidentely left the window open. Hm, dunno how you get your idle temps so low. Perhaps my cpu just runs hotter on average than yours. *shrugs* Do you use fan mate 2? I just have the fan plugged directly into the fan header.

Works for me ... :?

Looks good ... have you tried the Zmatrix ... it can look really stunning with the animated code over the top ... your eye is fooled in to thinking it is all animated.

and the WSGF Cog widget works well on that background ... :mrgreen: :wink:

the Sim2 "bag" is from a C3X - i use it to cover my screen at night to stop it filling with dust! and yes i know its a sheep, but he is a bad ass, and near enough to a llama for now i think ;)

This is my setup:
Acer AL2416Wd (amazing LCD & cheap ^^)






And this is my rig:
Little painting modding of my old BUT good Water Cooling Case (Koolance H2O), before this was white.




At the moment I am without the lateral one and with a 120mm fan in temporary form, until the 80mm fans with green leds arrive to me



When it has all complete one I place the finalized work...

Firstly... OMFG @ your set up!! (and i hate using acronyms!!)

Secondly... I heard about the PPU's over a year ago, but not seen/heard anything since.

Does anything actually support a physics processor yet?

What advantages will your system have with it compared to what it has now?

I don't think there are any advantages unless the game supports it ... I have bought it for this one game ... Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter which is out in May for the PC and has full support for the card ... check out this thread and the with/without videos ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/6222

Currently the only game available that uses it is Bet on Soldier

BTW ... check out my review of the TripleHead2Go ... Click Here

First off, wicked aqurium! That's awesome. And as said above, wicked points for dual set up.

Paddy as I said, that set up is the business. I wonder what you will do next.

Nice setup there Paddy, i dont believe you need Quad SLI unless you want the Triplehead thing, otherwise its a bit overkill :P

A shot of my black and silver rig running a heavily modified/enhanced version of Celestia ...




Celestia is a FREE space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. if you want to take a look ... Click Here ... it's fantastic and does all the resolutions your graphics card can do.

And many add-ons to modify and enhance it ... Click Here

Hey Paddy, how did you get it to look like that.
I just installed it and applied a couple of nebulas but nothing changes.
I also can't seem to find those nebulas i installed.
How do i find those things back? :?

royal, nice Scarface pictures. And nice World of Warcraft Collector's Edition box in the background(I'm a proud owner of one too, hehe). :p

Once I graduate, get a job and a new flat, I'm going to invest in a real nice computer desk and an uber comfy chair, I think. That stuff's nearly as important as the actual computer. :) My current desk is quite wide and deep, making it okay I guess, but it doesn't look particularly nice.

Well I did say it was heavily modified ... :wink:

The nebulas that you download are put in to their correct place in the universe ... you can't see them from the Earth ...
I have modified their place in space to get them closer to the Earth ...
I have also added high resolution textures to all the planets ...
I have also modified the Earths atmosphere to make thicker and kind of glow ...
I have also modified the Earth's clouds so that they rotate a little faster ... it looks better to me ...

Use the mouse wheel ... keep zooming out and out and out and out ... you can actually leave the galaxy ... :shock:

and at some point you should see the nebula ...

Richt click on any star or planet or nebula to fly through space straight to it ...
L and K speed up or slow down time ... J reverses it ...
There are a list of commands in the help in the top bar under "controls"

Also check the Solar system browser in the Navigation menu at the top ...

Check your PM's ... :wink:

That seamless triple display is like totally fake. Not only does the one and only picture of the product look completely photoshopped, but also the entire company website looks really un-legit. No real-life names and addresses anywhere. Not to mention, I think if this display would really exist there'd be some news about it somewhere on the Internet and in magazines.

I have seen a few of those types of non-bezzeled monitor sets and I know for a fact that one of the sites turned out to be a complete scam, and the others never had any real pictures or reviews of them.

I think they are either so damn expensive that no one uses them, or most of the ones you see out there are just fake.

I do - but I had the misfortune of a locum (fill in) dentist a few years back while my regular dentist was on maternity leave, who wanted to be paid cold hard cash by the NHS, and so came up with a lot of unnecessary crap that 'should be done', but wasn't necessary. That pissed me off rather a lot. :twisted:

So here's my new command centre.

I ohpe to get better pics of it soon and maybe write a little review...

I'm sure you've all heard me blabbing about getting this tv on here, but now I finally have it! I'll post some pics of it playing Hl2 and some other games, it really works amazingly well as a pc monitor. It's just too bad that my 360 decided to die on my today lol.



My only issue with it so far is that in VGA mode for pc the colours are very saturated and look almost neon when on the desktop. I can't seem to fix it through my ati settinsg either.

Nice Gilly!

Took some screens of my case inside as well. Not too proud of my desk though. I have to get a new one but just moved in so have to deal with it for a couple more months.

All my desks are messy - it's just the way I work. If I need space I clear some - if I don't, then it stays cluttered. :lol:

I agree with Gil - that crossfire rig is gonna be loud... powerful but loud.

Here is my new setup.

Picked up the monitor Friday, gamed with it all night and day til Saturday arfternoon while at a mates house. Went shopping and bought a "ceiling mount" (ceiling mount schmeiling mount, looks like a desk mount to me :P ) for the LCD at a HIFI store. Got home and massacred my Ikea desk and voila:

AGGS... what are your opinions on that keyboard?

I was looking at getting the same one, partly for the backlit keys, partly for the display on it.

Is the display useful in games?

If it was just the G15 with the logitech apps then i would say then it is just average.

But due to the fact that there is such a large support community which talks here http://www.g15forums.com/forum/, it is EXCELLENT!

Backlighting works a treat and there are a heap of 3rd party apps, including one which displays all kinds of cool stuff like kills, score etc in BF2.

There are not many games that naturally support the G15's display, and the ones that do are crap, but there are a lot of other useful goodies out there for the screen.

Havent really had much to do with the programmable key side of things yet as i have mainly been playing FPS.

6mm hose? thats a little small, all my stuff is 12mm (1/2" ID :D :D). I saw the A19, i wanted one but no chance of getting one in the UK this side of Christmas :) i think my solution is about the best... the amount of airflow over them with the stock cooler is nothing and i can always install a fan blowing directly at the card, plenty of free PCI bays as you can see :)

Here's mine.....


That's the Dell 2405 on the left; a 19" LCD in the middle; And a 27" HDTV on the right.

Look 'kinda' neat, yes?

Well, here's a wide shot:


LOL...so now you know! It's all on a 10' desk, and yes, that's a 32 tube commercial tanning bed on the far left and a (twice) restored '65 VW convertible bug on the right.

The rest are model R/C airplane buiding stuff and you cannot see the five (5) airplanes behind the tanning bed with 80" wing spands.

And you guys thought you had a messy desk! :D

Thank you, Mr.evildoer!

Restored her twice. The first time she was a rust-bucket and the second time my wife wrapped her around a utility pole and totalled her.

I know every inch of her and....

Now, that, I didn't say. ;)

My parents house has been lived in for too many years to be 'neat' or 'minimalist', and my flat has way too many books and far too much computer kit in it! :lol:

Custom desks are always cool. :)

Home sweet home. This is the 'entertainment center' in the living room (VCR, cassette tape player, record player, etc. all come out here). That's a Zalman Reserator on the side with my own modifications. The sunset image as the desktop is the view off the back porch to my right.

Thats a very nice looking set up.

Do you not find that you're sitting too close to the monitors though? Especially with ones so large?

And are they 2407s?

Here is my workspace. Keep in mind I haven't moved fully in yet and there is junk all on my pc (which will get moved from on top of the desk. But you get the idea.

1. The sex and the city is my GF's and it is needed for WAF.

2. I blanked the screen because it had loads of NSFW images on it that I had open editing for WSB.

I'll be moving into a new place in a few weeks. Still looking for a nice desk since i have a lot of space in my living room to put a desk. I got some new Logitech 2.1 z2300 series speakers and can't wait to hook them up in the new place. I'll get some new pictures up once i'm situated.

A few shots of inside my quad rig ...

First off ... this system seriously SUCKS ! ... SUCKS in dust that is ... :lol: ... look at the amount of dust after about 1 month !
I'm away for about 3 weeks from tomorrow morning ... when I get back I'll take some more shots without the dust ... :roll:





This a little case mod I made ... 2 x 120mm fans one behind the other and mounted in a MDF bracket .... there is nice cover too ... sorry I forgot to photograph that ... :oops:
With the extra air-flow these two fans dropped the temp of the GFX cards by about 8 degrees !

Paddy, is there any advantage to having one 120mm fan mounted directly behind the other? Aren't they going to shift the same amount of air in total anyway?

I love that case!! It's just beautiful. And yeah, I can see where a dust problem could exist.

No idea ... I just figured 2 would have to be better than one ...


I don't know of the dynamics of it, but I do know that Dell servers (PowerEdge 2800s) come with 4 sets of 2x80mm fans that are hot swappable. These servers have 8x300GB SCSI disks in them so they really move the heat.

So maybe there is some use of it after all......

I'm not that impressed with my Wavemaster. I like the motherboard tray, but the 80mm fans are real screamers.

Would be a superb case to mod for watercooling, though. :)

yes, mounted on the neoprene mat it is inaudable at more than 1ft away.

need some quiet fans, 40cfm @ silent if possible (120mm) in black, need to tidy my IDE cable up, sound card needs fixing in and the interconnect cable sleeving properly, need to cool the gpu vregs too... they get hot! And, redecorate :P Pink isnt my thing tbh :P

RE: Using 2 fans in front of each other.

I had to do a lot of research & study on this when I did my V8 motor conversion into the very much smaller engine bay of my S-10 truck.
Same principles of Fluid Dynamics also apply to moving air.

Placing 2 fans - one in front of another - probably ends up blocking airflow & hence lowering the cooling efficiency.




1) For starters the center hub of the second fan & its frame blocks at least in part the flow of the second.
2) Secondly & also unless the two fans' blade rotations were set so that the blades, when rotating, never blocked the airflow space between the other fan's blades - the result would be less than having 1 single fan.
The same principle being used for fighter planes machineguns are set to fire between the blades.

3) There can also be a situation whereby resonant frequencies set up by the RPM differential creates cavitation & no real amount of air gets moved or airflow is decreased.
At a very minimum the fan that is behind the other on the airflow direction side would have to be set at a higher RPM - but the conditions in 1) still limits airflow.

BTW squirrel cage fans are much more efficient than curved bladed fans.

I've been piecing this new rig together for awhile now, very slowly... But it's finally coming together. The pictures are from a friends house with his camera, so don't mind the blandness of them. I'll get inside shots and all when everythings done. I plan on spending my next day off from work buying the supplies I need to make a custom desk as well as rework my whole computer room. I am tired of the desk I've got and how it's setup, need a good change. I'll post my progress later and how it turns out :)
I may even be going as far as to paint the room as well because I hate white, heh. This will be my biggest "computer" based project. I'm very excited to see it finished, heh.

Nice TT Shark :D

You might want to turn the case feet out a bit if you need more stability, as it is so near the desk edge.

Would be a crying shame if it got knocked over :shock:

BTW - the TT watercooling units fit & cool these cases great & knock all temps down really low !!

The ~$100 US BigWater is probably all you need.

Frank, that's actually a ROOT beer, heh... And it was opened and all gone by the time I took these shots. I actually don't drink alcohol, unless it's the really good tasting kind, and omg beer = *gag* :)

And Doug, I've heard bad things about the TT water cooling kits. But then again, I've had very good luck with everything TT that I buy. I'm gonna wait til payday to decide what to do next with this. I really wanna do up the computer room to be all nice, but I wouldn't mind getting some water cooling in there or maybe something else like more hdd space.

Corsair's new external watercooling solution might be worthwhile checking out... Bit-Tech were pretty impressed with it. The Nautilus 500, or something...

No, it uses a 120mm fan. A CPU block, with hoses to a box that you sit on the top of your case which contains the res, pump and radiator/fan. Powered from the system, so you never forget to turn it on. :) I think the price is hovering around £90, although I can't remember offhand.

Ice,

That was their old stuff (1st gen) crack at water cooling
Their recent (last 2-3 years) WC equipment has nothing but good & rave reviews & best value for the $.

I have had NO probs at all with any of my CPU BigWater system with addon GFX waterblock. Soooo easy to put on :D & I have just about the hottest chip available.

BTW: I really wish folks would not offer opinions & recommendations on equipment they have not a single bit of usefull data for. Most doing so have never seen or used said equipment. :roll:

Shifter, you mean straight cider or turned cider? Cause honestly fresh REAL apple cider that turns is AMAZINGLY good. But I don't drink it for the alcohol, it just tastes so amazing, heh..

And Doug, yeah I hate when that happens too, heh... I'll have to look into it more. Cause I know nothing about water cooling realy. Need to see how much the block for a 7900GTX is (wouldn't think that much...) and the cooling system with it. I'd prefer to water cool everything though, even if it's useless. I'd like a fanless enviroment primarly. But again I'm going to wait til payday to see how much I get paid before I go buying anything.

EDIT:




I'm about half way done moving stuff into a different room. The room is actually painted a grayish blue so it matches the case very nicely. The standard "white" light I used to help light the shots really didn't let the blue show. But I'm without a tripod at the moment so I couldn't capture the blue like it really looks.

Strangely enough, by moving my computer I actually SIGNIFICANTLY dropped temps in my case! I went from a 34c idle on CPU to a whopping 25c! And a 42c idle on the GPU to a 34c!! :shock:

Honestly? Both. :lol:

I found a pub when I was on holiday that made it's own cider... man, that stuff was nice. Lethal, too... 14% alcohol in cider is insane. :D

But yeah... don't drink cider for the booze, drink it for the taste. :D

...

I know most watercooling blocks are quite pricy, but I guess it depends.

Sounds like you shook some dust loose when you moved it. ;) Or the heatsink seated better...

£25 for the MCW60 on my graphics card puts it at the same price as an accelerato...

working it out its about £125 more for water than a CPNS9500 and VP900 combo :P

The accessory TT gfx waterblocks are actually very inexpensive - only around $40 CDN.

Here is the probably model you need http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Liquid/Upgrade/cl-w0088/cl-w0088.asp

This one might also fit
http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Liquid/Upgrade/cl-w0038/cl-w0038.asp

Their complete WC line up http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Liquid/liquid_index.asp

I have the BigWater 735 & it does an excellent job. When I upgrade I will probably do the Symphony (like Tamlin)

I recommend the pump & Rad be mounted in the outside rear of the case (it's meant for that also) rather than in the case - noticeably gets more latent heat out of the case.

I put mine on a bracket so it sits to the side for more need front to back room on the not-to-deep desk. it is also near the window AC unit :D

I also added 2 more TT fans in the side grill :wink:

Sweet, thanks Doug. I like the look of the fans on the side window of the case. Was it anything special to do those, cause I thought about doing that myself but didn't want to have to do anything with the mesh that's on the door already.

Naa that looks pretty easy to do Ice we could do that realy quick here some night.. would look good with the red fans you talked about aswell .. I think I also have a few red LEDs here that we can swap out with the front one on yours..

Ice,

RE: "Was it anything special to do those, cause I thought about doing that myself but didn't want to have to do anything with the mesh that's on the door already."

Nope - those TT fans mount right on the grill mesh - no mod needed.
I did however need to use small washers on the mounting bolts so that they wouldn't slide through the mesh. I used 1/4" stainless steel ones.

I have yet to cut the fan speed controller faceplates that come with them




I wanted to use these (below) but figured the 120mm would be better than the 80mm

I think these are the best looking fans I ever saw - just something about them...




On the subject of cooling & fans

I moded 2 of the TT RAM cooling kits

I took the fan off of the aluminium kit




& put it on the Hi Perf copper kit



& I used the left over heat sinks for the GFX card chips not covered by the GFX card TT waterblock.


CAUTION

If you use the included two sided sticky tape to mount the pieces - watch it if you ever remove it !!!!

I ruined 2 512Mg sticks of high end dual channel DDR2 RAM when I removed them - the RAM chips came off - $300 thrown away :shock:

Use a razor blade or Xacto knife & take your time....

I didn't want to make a dozen thumbnails to accompany these images, so I am just going to link to the web directory they are in and give some information about my "command center" in this post. :)

Link to images: http://ryan.thecarshopwy.com/Public/CommandCenter/

I am still working on the cable arrangement for the monitors' cables; I don't want to cut into the desk, in case I sell it later, but the power cable is about 8 inches short for the left monitor for me to run them any other way. I don't want to buy a short extension cord from a local store, as I don't need that much slack, and I cannot get a longer power cable locally, so I would have to pay for shipping and everything else... The joys of living in a small town. :lol:

Not all of the guns in the pictures are real; I don't think anyone cares anyways, so I won't tell which ones are real and which ones are for show.

I am a big duct tape fan, and and even bigger Green Bay Packers fan (although that is harder to admit to lately, with their past two seasons being nothing short of a disgrace).

For the most part I think everything is pretty well organized; considering more than half of everything around here gets used at least once a day. The dorm-sized refrigerator is great, especially since I never sit down at that desk (I like to stand most of the time, except for when I am on my machine). There are over five different flashlights in the area covered by the photographs; I don't know why, but I really like to buy flashlights and keep them everywhere.

You can't see the rear two speakers, but I am using a Logitech Z680 5.1 Surround setup. I think that about covers everything else. If for some strange reason you have a question, feel free to ask.

Love the Xasor Incarnate. Your setup reminds me of my old one when I had two monitors and my Xasor.

And actually, I'm interested in which guns are actually real. If anything I wanna say the shotgun is and nothing else? The M4 could be, but it looks plasticy (Or maybe black paint?). And the P99 (or something along those lines) and Beretta look like airsoft.

I've been thinking about picking up an M4 airsoft myself. I'd love to get one of the Stoner based models, love the look of the RIS system and full stock with carrying handle :D I'd like to buy Classic Army but I hear they have issues with the guns not being well made and I'd go with Marui but I so want a full metal body :)

EDIT: so that's a wacom pad??? Is it the kind you can see what you draw as you draw it on he pad or does it show up on the screen when you draw on the pad?

Pretty much, I've used ones at school with Mac's they rock! much better than older pads. pretty much a godtool in PS. Some people even paint with those.

That pad shows up on the screen. I opted for that because it is much more accurate, and you don't have to worry about scratches. :)

You were damn close on the guns: Ths SPAS-12 is real, and the M4 was real, although I have repainted it and removed the flash supressor for filming and photography purposes. The M9 Berretta and Walther P99 are both airsoft guns, although they are both broken (plastic parts don't hold up...)

I forgot to pull the keyboard tray out, I will do that and upload another picture to show the Logitech G7 and ZBoard.

EDIT: I uploaded a picture of the keyboard tray pulled out, and removed any pictures that were almost identical to other pictures.

--------------------
As for airsoft rifles, I personally own these two M4's:
http://www.airsoftextreme.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65&products_id=2322
http://www.airsoftextreme.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=364_68&products_id=1862

I really like both Classic Army and TM, although I prefer TM, as I have always had to upgrade various parts of the interior on the Classic Army weapons. I also have a G36C by TM, and an M15A4 with a RIS system. Airsofting is excellent here; I have access to some abandoned oil fields and rigs, so about 20 of us can spend a whole day having a blast out there. :)

I planned something similar for my case, using a very similar screen!

Didn't go ahead with it though as I was gonna mount it across 2 of the 5.25" drive bays in a custom pod... But the front door on my PC is generally closed so it would be pointless...

Looks cool though, I like it :D

Exscuse the terrible quality of picture and crappy desk :P (Being a broke student sucks :cry: )

Check out a program called "Ultramon" to do some cool things with your extended desktop... beats having the same wallpaper on both....

Nice choice of monitor as well, I have the same one and am more than happy with it 8)

Yeah, I have Ultramon it just wasn't running at the time of the picture :P (I especially love the multiple taskbars).

And I'd agree, it's a fantastic monitor, especially since I was able to get the DVI model.

When did they release a DVI model?!

I've got the VGA one, more than happy with image quality but will be getting a 2nd one soon so would be cool to make use of my DVI-out

Acer Canada

The AL1916Wsd has a digital connection, hence the sd (silver, digital :P).


It seriously seems to be like a Canada only thing. I looked at a couple of Acers other regional sites and it isn't listed. I also don't recall seeing it on anything other than Canadian online stores.


http://www.ncix.com
is where I ordered mine from.

One suggestion. Build a custom desk.
Nothing beats a custom desk. Way more room then desks you buy and they are exactly how you want it.
Well, that is offcourse if you know how to build one. :lol:

I bought a modular one, so i can make it as big as i like

This is how it was at my old house before I switched to my WS monitor.





I used to do a lot of PC builds so really needed the extra space!

Could happily have 4 PCs with monitors all installing at the same time on that desk 8) lol

I wanted to build a custom desk myself, but then I tore my current one apart and pieced it back together to have a LOT more room to it and it worked out perfectly. If I want I could add more space to the sides, but at the moment I can't without interupting my walkway into the room, heh. I'd like to get little addon pieces for this desk so I could put my rear left/right speakers on them for much better surround sound. Someone else on the forums did that (Don't recall who, but I love the idea :)) so ever since I seen that I've wanted to do it.

I believe that was BongoTrumman. :)

Edit: Here is the post your talking about:

My command centre.



The wallpaper is horrible I know but i´m gonna change it. I have done the kitchen, hall and livingroom so far and it looks nice and new. It´s the bedroom that is left.

EDIT: Updated the picture to show my Logitech Z-5500 speakers.

Yea its the Zalman VF900-Cu and it works wonders. With the stock fan, 59C, but with VF900, 35C idle 40 full load with the fan up full. (Card is for sale by the way)

As for space, I use the mouse on the bench and the keyboard sits on my lap most of the time. I have all the stuff needed to install a sliding rest under the table but just havnt got round to it.

Been tempted to quit smoking but since AMD just dropped its price of the X2 3800+ to £99 incl VAT i now have no need lol.

You probably wont for a week or two more yet. They haven't actually dropped the prices yet, so if a retailer is offering it at the reduced cost, the financial loss is entirely on the retailer :P.

AMD have confirmed these prices, and the chips are due on Monday from OcUK as far as am aware. They are on the site with Pre-Order status.

I am gonna wait untill some quailty boards come out, a DFI or Asus Crossfire board hopefully.

AMD UK have told OcUK to go ahead with the selling of chips at the reduced prices, so therefore the cost has dropped.

I just checked it out, and if they aren't getting any stock until Monday (the 24th, the day the price officially drops) then it doesn't really matter does it?

Thanks mate, i'm pretty happy with it :D
I must say it's a bit more of a mess now unfortunatly.
I now have another monitor on the left of my Benq aswell.

The keyboard and mouse is a Logitech Dinovo Mediadesktop 2.0 set.
Costed me an absolute shitload of money and i don't really like it anymore. :(
The keyboard batterys are drained really fast. :(
I know for sure my next keyboard is gonna have a wire again.

Stupid shelves.

I'll be getting a new desk in a year or so when I move...

Either glass, custom-built, or a glass custom-built.

:)

And I love my Lian-Li. I just wish it was more excepting of giant PSU's. (Had to take out a HDD rack to fit my SilverStone.)

Nice desk i like the dark color and how your monitor is raised up and your keyboard tray is below gives you a lot of desktop space to put stuff

Could i ask where you got it :D

Edit: stupid me i just realized the monitor part isnt part of the desk they were bough seperately :shock:

Here's the link for the desk. The monitor shelf is part of the desk. This is where I bought it from MM69500. It's a great desk and their shipping is pretty good. It was easy to assemble and it's rock solid.

Above the keyboard it's glass, and the black is wood covered in a grippy soft black material. If you had teflon mouse skates, you might be able to use it as a mouse pad.

How the devil are you all?

I have finally have gotten myself around to posting some pictures of my command centre which is now completed (externally, aesthetically). Actually, I have also posted a picture of what it used to look like before I bought myself a BenQ WIDESCREEN monitor. Then from there every thing else followed. Everything about my PC had to either match and go with the Benny, or it had to GO!!!

I like my office to be well coordinated and clean and simple, no clutter no flashy gizmoz no fangdangle doodads, just the essentails.

A very wise and handsome man once said, "What's on your desk is a reflection of what's on your mind." JohnnyWakko.

My ladies command centre in on the right, its a G5 Mac, which I don't know much about, but it sure does look good. To be honest, the whole reason for looking into a widesceen, was because she had one on her G5. Now, I couldn't live with someone who has a better looking computer now could I? It was a matter of manhood.

My old commmand centre:



My New Command Centre & Office:



Command centre at night:



My Machine, I decided to name it "Baalix":



Its entrails:

Here was mine I posted in another thread:
In case anyone was ever wondering, this is where all the magic happens...



The panorama stitcher wasn't perfect, but you get the idea.


Here's the new Command Center:


Left -> Right:

Wall: Monsters Inc. print, Belkin Pre-N Router, Sennheiser PX 100 headphones, Taylor 310CE Acoustic, Ovation Deacon, Danelectro 12-string, autographed pictured (that I took) of the Christ Duarte Group

Desk: D&D Player's Handbook 3.5, Gateway M285-E (I'm working on an article on tablet gaming), Logitech Z-680 (control, fronts, center; with MacPro connected via optical cable), Dell 3007WFP, Line6 TonePort UX2, David Crowder Band songbook, M-Audio Nova Mic (w/ stand and pop filter), Sony HDR-HC3 1080i HDV Cam, 2-line crap phone, work laptop, MS Trackball Explorer Optical, mini fan, picture of daughter, Franklin-Covey notebook folio, wallet

Floor: Crappy chair, shredder, wire waste basket, file folders, Z-680 sub, MacPro (see sig), OfficeJet 7310, Desk Apprentice (under printer).

Unseen: 80% of the cables (attached to underside of desk), 2x APC 500W UPS.

I custom-made the desk and printer stand. The Guinness wall hanging is now in the garage (kid kept playing with it).

Okay then, finally an updated version of my command centre including my Mac Pro. :P
Sorry for the bad photo quality but the only camera i have available at the moment is my phone. :)


Overview, changed since the previous pic of my centre is the second monitor and the Mac Pro + Keyboard and Mighty mouse.


The beer you see in this pic is a Hertog Jan, the best beer in the world if you ask me.


Two keyboard/mouse combos, one for my Mac Pro, the other for my server. Planning on using some sort of remote desktop sollution for that in the future.


Mac Pro and server. And yes, that is an oldskool boardgame of Sea Battle. :D


Inside of my beautiful Mac Pro :P


The graphical power of this baby, an Ati X1900.


Front of the Mac Pro and a closeup of the connections on the front of the case. 1 x audio out, 2 x usb, 1 x Firewire 400 and 1 x Firewire 800.

Got my parts put into my new Thermaltake Armor VA8003SWA :D





A very solid, well built & extremely silent case - even with the HUGE 250mm side fan. :shock:

Very large amount of room on the inside.

100% aluminium throughout.

My lovely command center.

Had to make the pics small because of my shitty commercial gift camera. :P



I deleted the pics at the wall, because I don't like the girls inside anymore, have to print some new. :oops:

Here's my "Command Center", so to speak.

Until I get a desktop widescreen setup this will do for now. It's currently fed via VGA cable. Sound if from the Soundblaster Audigy to my Onkyo TX-DS787. I'm planning on getting a X1900XT 256 meg ATI card soon and get an new DVI card for the Panasonic plasma.

Gilly, copperhead and glass surface's don't mix(guess that goes for laser in general). I use my copperhead with a Steelpad 5L and it works great(no mx518 and hybrid for now).

That's a pretty schmick looking setup. But what I wanna see is a "ZOOMOUT" shot!!! I want to see it all! I want to see the rest of the command centre.

In addition, I want to see a pic of your dear mother sitting at the command centre. This will give you UNBEEELIEVABLE credibility and props from me (thats all that counts in this world) and you will from me... am sure as will everyone else will give you Godlike status! This is where boys become men! When they are proud of thier "forebearers."

(No disrespect intended).

EDIT: I was looking at your previous pics, is that a nose hair trimmer sitting up on your desk between your speakers?

Hey Everyone,

New to the forums so thought this might be a good place to start (Aside from the Intro forum of course!).



That's my main setup. The second monitor is actually for a PC off screen (P4 2.6, used as file server, print server). I used to KVM and use as a second desktop to my main rig but once I got the widescreen I saw no need for it anymore so it just sits on the File server now.

The machine in picture is a Opteron 165 OCd to 2.2 currently (will go higher once I put different CPU fan on), 2 GB RAM, 74 GB Raptor HD as main, 80 GB as backup, 7900 GT w/ 256 MB and SB XFI for sound. The Speakers are hella old, they came with the last PC I purchased before I started building them myself (easily 8-9 years ago) and don't conform to the Black and Silver theme of the whole setup so that's next to get swapped out.

I use a Saitek Eclipse keyboard, Logitech MX518 Mouse and the strange device to the left is known as the Claw. Stumbled on it years ago and can't imagine gaming without it now.

Thanks Ken. And I love the XTRAC mouse pads. This is my second as the first I wore out pretty quick.
I expect this one will suffer a similar fate as I go back and start dusting off some of the games on my HD for another play through, this time in Wide Screen :)

So do I, it's running pretty sweet at the moment. Find this chip harder to overclock than most (the one in my sig!). But it's still playing the latest games with no problem what-so-ever...

I would watch that speaker behind the monitor on the right though - that could potentially cause damage to the LCD screen :shock:

As noted in many LCD brands' owner's manuals....

If you do not mind boys & girls, i will pick all Insiders "command centres" (the best 1 photo) and include them in the gallery. If you do mind, post here better picture OR email it to me, and i will switch them. And, you, others, become insiders, so that you can have your rig's photo in gallery :D. All complains will be answered via PM..... :lol:

misadlouhy,

While this is a generous offer, I strongly suggest that you post this question in the Insider section.

The wait for each person to respond (or not) & only post pics from those that explicitly give you permission.

Couple of small changes since my last post. New are the Motorola SLVR, Logitech MX Revolution and the Accelero X2 on the X1900XT in the Mac Pro.

Best mouse i EVER used. Perfect form for my hand. The old MX1000 was a little wider which is less comfortable. Also a nice thing is that it glides over my table like an oiled boob on a glass plate. :lol:

Also it works perfectly on OSX although the software is a little less complete then in XP. But it is sufficient for my needs. To bad you didn't buy it, it really is a nice mouse. :)

I never used a G7 but i think it's excellent for a medium gamer like myself. Dunno if it's any good for hardcore gamers but i can play UT2004, COD2 and CoH really well with it.

What kinda temps are you getting with that? I'm thinking of ordering one myself this week.

Idle temps are around 40 and load temps after about 2, 2.5 hours of gaming are 70 max. This is in my Mac Pro. I had one in my previous PC aswell which had more airflow and in that rig the temps where around 35 idle and 55 load :shock:

And one that's a little more all-encompassing:


I'll be switching it to a different room in the house really soon, so it's kind of messy. After the switch I should have a much better overall setup.

Thanks :D

I've been trying to figure out a good way to use my TV as a monitor for a while now, but the 720p resolution just wouldn't be high enough to suit me as far as normal desktop use goes.

That's what I get for being impatient and jumping on the LCDTV bandwagon before all the low cost 1080p sets started showing up :(

Oh read something wrong, had to edit. x)
I wouldn't use a TV as a monitor. Never. Bad desktop usage.

But damn this Stacker looks amazing. :shock:

Cools system ThinJ.

Quick question... are you the Thin J from way back in the Gone Gold forum days? (and more recently ConsoleGold/GamingTrend)

Nice stacker case

I might take a picture of my "Rig" though it is a piece of crap and is a dell with no wide screen

I have to clean off my desk though to many papers and I am thinking about stealing the old computers (P3 with 192mb ram) 2.1 Speakers to create a makeshift 4.2 surround sound even though everything on my desk is black and those are white. Maybe I can steal the other desks 1337 black speakers because they have very easy microphone and headphone inputs

Time for the horror of a non-widescreen lcd hooked up to a basic dell box and a makeshift 4.2 surround sound system made of two crappy 2.1 sets
one sounds like a tin can (BOSTON white set) and the other gets scratchy on high notes (DELL)

Those who are easily upset should cover their eyes

Time for the horror :twisted:

WOWSERS! That is a beautiful looking setup, not only that it looks like there is some serious power inside.

No mess, colour coordination, non "crazy" lights all over the place...the man has style. THe ladies would be impressed.

I give it 9.992/10

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.

Edit: to the bright thing I was just saying bright to the closeup now that i look at the far away shot it has a nice glow...

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

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?!?! :(


i didnt know Sony did HDTV CRT's.... any chance of one in the UK? :D


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

Yup there's no way a third monitor would fit on this table. :D
Additionally, I'm not sure how exactly a triplehead system would work. I've heard that there is little support for triplehead in Win XP though I'm not sure. Then again there's bandito's 5 screen system, I guess that makes it possible to have triplehead.

Triplehead won't work with the 3007, well it will, but not at native resolution.

I think all 3 monitors have to display the same res as well.

My PC has a door and has a silence cover, so there is no chance for a display in one of the slots. I like Dualhead anyway.:)

is it just me or do acds seem i tad bit overpriced....

For the price you are paying for the 23 incher you can pay 200 usd more and get a 30 inch dell....

Of course acds look a lot nice but the dell has more inputs

My new Westy :D Very pleased with it... I ended up moving my computer from my room into the living room (It's right behind the TV) so that my room mates and myself could have computer games at our finger tips on the big screen. I switched from using the G15 and MX518 to the MX3200 wireless mouse+keyboard since it's in the living room now.

I'll probably be writing up a review on this monitor later on when I've got time. I'd recommend it to anybody who can still find it (It's discontinued as far as I know). Best Buy doesn't stock it anymore, and most local retailers do not either. Newegg I believe still has some.

I'd suggest getting it locally because it's discontinued, they can lower the price to get it outta their inventory quickly :) Caught a deal on mine for just over $1500 with 3 years on it. I felt good about that when a few days later my friend told me he paid $4500 for a Sony 46" with equivilent specs/features and he is also having some major problems with his Sony. It isn't taking certain inputs, like the 360's update to use upscaled 1080p for everything... It won't run in 1080p with the 360 on his Sony.

It's very clear. Infact it is basicly identical to my 2405 for desktop use. The text and everything is very readable from... 7-8 feet away on the couch. And gaming is very doable from anywhere in the room. The viewing angle is slightly less than my 2405, though it doesn't matter for general use.

Doh. I wanted to get that one.

It's going out of production? Isn't it new?

Doesn't Westy want to have 1080p tv's?

http://www.westinghousedigital.com/details.aspx?itemnum=44 seems to be their only 42"...

Pricegrabber link. I was looking to get it online. I would rather get it from a store...

Do you think I would have better luck at a big store, or a privately owned store? (eg. Best Buy or a mom+pop?)

I went with the local shop since it's commission based, so they lowered the price a few hundred and through in a 3 year plan on it. I priced it out at Best Buy and any other place I could find it and places like Best Buy couldn't even order them anymore. I was lucky enough the local shop found one from another store and had it shipped to me, it was there last one too :D

Hey blue? wtf is up with your setup? How come with the lit shots show the secondary monitor falling a few cms short of the 24" yet in the dark shot the secondary is just as tall?

Is it a new monitor in the dark shot or... I dunno, is it a new one?

Nono, all pics show a 24" Dell 2407 and a 17" Dell 1707FP:




I know it looks a little bit fishy but the 17 incher is that broad. You don't believe it until you see it in real life.;)

@skeeder
Nice interior.:) What is this nice northbridge heatsink called? Is it a customized?

Well do post your thoughts. I've had mine for over two years and probably couldn't part with them, (I got my 600's for $200 from amazon, a deal I haven't seen since)

Very nice. I bought the HD 580 in 2004 and they are still in daily use. My first real Hifi-headphones. 8) I need them for gaming since my wife sleeps in the next room at night. So I have to be silent. ;) These headphones are the perfect solution though still very expensive I think. :)

You get what you pay for.....

Though some companies like Bose can be a tad overpriced....

The quitecomfort headphones are a little bit pricy

The TV stand actually is suprisingly stable. The desk is too small and the floor would get it horribly dusty :-P I'll be correcting that soon tho.


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16882131027

For the TV. And...

IKEA Desk



Biiiig desk. I'll probably get having a buddy help me go get it. Damn box won't fit in my ride :-P

Destructo...very nice gear! I also dig the katana...or is it a wakizashi?

What size is that westy?
Do you do all your computing from that sofa?
If so...how? surely that keyboard tray doesn't slide open another few feet.

I'm very curious as I was thinking about going with a similar setup, but worried I'd be too close to the screen while sitting at my desk and don't really have anywhere else to keep my mouse/keyboard.

edit: duhh..took a closer look, and it does look like that tray/desktop slides quite a bit. nice.

Looks short for a katana. My guess is wakizashi. And now I am waiting to see if I am right or wrong. Maybe it is something else :D.

Quick question... are you the Thin J from way back in the Gone Gold forum days? (and more recently ConsoleGold/GamingTrend)


Sorry about the months late response, but yes, that would be me :)

Setup changed here recently when I moved my computer to it's own little seperate room:



The next big change is going to be either a 32 or 37 inch display for the computer. I'm leaning towards getting a 37 and moving my 32 incher I already have in as my gaming monitor.

The katana is a replica of the sword used in the Highlander TV series... 42" long. The sword in front of the 37" Westy is an old military saber. :)

I can pull my futon up to use with the slide out keyboard tray or open it flat (it unfolds into a full sized bed) and work from there. I've been toying with the idea of getting a rolling laptop stand (looks like the food trays that roll up to a hospital bed) to hold the wireless keyboard and mouse so I can really lean back... for now I just use them on my lap.

Hat, very tidy. Clean, stylish, sharp, nothing fangdangle, a man after my own tastes.

The lady is the frame must feel very special having a partner with a nice PC like that, you know they only want you for the PC don't you?

Like I said, my heap, I did not mean a good heap. This set-up is a piece of crap computer I built more than 4 years ago.
The monitor is a peace of crap one I got as a replacement of a Philips 19" CRT that my family decimated. I guess the monitor could be worse, the image quality is pretty good . . . but bad ghosting.

And I am planning to go surround gaming, when I get my new PC next month. I do not know what I will do with this monitor afterwards; I guess keep it as a back-up.

Normal coaster under the bottle, the thing next to it is a card reader. I just slam my memory card into the reader and it transfers over to the computer quickly, wrapped around the card reader is my usb data cable for my phone.

Here's a Pic Of My Rig Setup For Internet Surfing, E-mail, Buisness, and all of that regular stuff.



Here it is in Full Afterburner Mode. With Full CH HOTAS (Pro Throttle, FighterStick Pro, Pro Pedals) and you can see the Track IR 4 Pro on top of the monitor. Case is a Lian Li V1200B Plus II. Headset is USB GameCom 1 with DSP. Monitor is a Olevia 232V 32" TFT HDTV. I also have a Logitech Force Feedback Wingman Formula Force GP Wheel that is out of the pic. I'm heavy into flight simulators, and combat flight simulators is what I fly most of the time. I've been know to throw in the occasional FPS game though, and have played alot of Pain Killer. I need a few new games for this new Monitor though. I'd like to get some full res HD games...we'll see.

I know, I know, I'm missing the whole widescreen experience. I'd love to upgrade to one but just can't decide...22 would be a great size but I'm really worried about the whole backlight bleeding that seems to be a big problem with them.

I also like the LG204WT but the shakey stand is a bit disappointing. I think I might just wait a little while longer and see what they can come up with...

Yea i wonder if logitech whipped out a g7 like mouse with 2 side buttons how good sales would be.

And as long as the batteries work well they would probably get good sales since people love dual side buttons 8)

Thanks all =)

Johnny, yes my mousepad is very small... I have had it for countless years though (still in good shape too). Before that was my Max Payne limited edition (only came in the OLD huge styled PC game box) mousepad which was actually SMALLER :lol:

And yes I agree with all that the MX518 is godlike... Never seen a better button setup, color, or feel that goes with everything.

And Ken, sitting this close is nifty because you can actually use your peripheral vision to see things. I dunno, I feel like if I was sitting at my desk with my 2405 I'd have just as much screen to look at distance wise, because I sit back far enough from the Westy that it seems the same.

Also for future pictures try to hold the camera really steady because that is what caused the over lighting and overall blinding ability of your photo

Nice setup except its hard to see ;)

Believe it or not, that's holding it as steady as I can, it was still blurry, and it's really bad camera. I have to put it on Night mode to get indoor shots, even with the flash on it doesn't help much. It's the 1.2megapixel camera in my cellphone. If I still had my 2megapixel Sony Ericcson w810i, i'd be good to go and that thing woulda snapped up every little detail of the mess.

Good God man. That is disgusting!


Neat freak. Haven't you heard "the really smart ones are messy?" I'm considered a guru by some in the field of procedural PHP coding, and extension of the language to include previously 'unsupported/unthought-of' functionality. I'm a freakin pioneer, helping to push the boundaries and break the misconceptions of PHP's 'shortcomings'.

Yes, I agree. I am super organised and cannot handle mess.

There is nice monitor in there somewhere. :wink:

Dig a little deeper watson, you might find a nice monitor in that mess, like mine! And yes, I did forget to mention that all I have is a crappy cellphone camera. Kinda wishing I kept my w810i... the pictures on that were clear as day, and uber detailed.

I love that no matter how much people spend on gaming stuff, there really is only one mouse that has won me and others over...the MX518 is godlike.


Same here I was in a big pickle over what mouse to get a couple years back, the 518 was what I got and wont ever look back. Great feel, good amount of buttons, good dpi, good drivers (I love having the top button set for app close, lets me close web pages in a jiffy, or anything else that may be open ^^)

I just got the new setup all put together today. The desk isnt that cluttered but the room is. I mean I have a very very small room with a queen bed, a wife, a son staying in there with me. There is no way to avoid mess ^^ so be proud of me for having it as clean as it is. I have a pic taken but not uploaded, since im at work I'll have to post back with it later.


edit: I do a a pic uploaded. Its not the best but you get an idea of the desk:

Destructo has a similar setup to me because looks like he has a small space like myself and uses his bed (futon) as his computer chair. I'll have to get a series of pics up later showcasing how the room is setup and also of my katana ^^ it sits next to me.

edit: ok I took some pics today and cleaned the place up abit.

Now everybody can see exactly what its like.

Me too ^^ thats a real one, I have others I use to cut/train but that one was hand made out of hundreds of layers of folded and hammerd steel with very peticular minerals/elements to give the blade the right hardness and flexibility.

Its my closest posesion.

OMG, if that's true that thing must be worth thousands of dollars. :shock:
I saw a shop on tv some time ago where they sold katanas and the best pieces where around 30k :o

Yep hand made, real rayskin, traditional knot, full tang. Its not a "masters" piece aka made by one of the few remaining acclaimed blade smiths in japan but its made by an apprentice smith. Prob worth about 8,000.

If you look close next to the desk you see my cheapy 50$ highlander sword, the handle is broke in half ^^ thats why you dont practice with "wall hangers"

You can get a cheap battle ready katana for like 80$ tho, just just fugly looks like a big steak knife. A real katana good enough for iaido and cutting is about 800$~

What I need to get is a boken, and a new kendo sword (the bamboo ones) I used to teach friends kendo with those and we would beat the living crap out of eachother.

Id use the kendo to practice defense and getting used to seeing/dodging attacks. For power/speed I made my own training method ^^ A giaint steel pole we had in our backyard from an old fense. Id do kata with it and diffrent swings and the sheer weight/size/inertia of it gave me super great katana wielding skills when I went to use my actual blade.

A real katana is very light most of the time tho, people think they are heavy because they are used to the fake ones they see in stores made out of stainless steel usually.

I was obsessed with training as a kid, every bottle we would empty became a target for cutting before it became trash. I remember this one time (with my cheapo highlander sword no less) I cut a 2 liter bottle full of water in half so perfectly I thought I missed it because it sat there for a good 5 seconds before it collapesed on itself. I didnt even know that was possible since it had fluid in it.

A cheap cutting target is rolled up newspaper thats wet. cutting targets are too expensive so the paper is nearly the same consisitancy and not too harsh on your blade.

Talking about this makes me wanna go back to the old ways/days alas growing up and having kids makes most of my old hobbies impossible.

That's true, but don't you think it's a little harder to do such things now, with all those laws about swords (and importing swords)

I would like to practice with some swords, but currently i can do it because i'm too busy and don't have the room to practice.

Hmm im not familar with those laws. They had laws about importing a sharpened blade, but that was taken care of while I was in the military so I had some connections, and since its a real katana it can be broken down into pieces (wich you have to do every once in awhile to oil it)

I know it as considered a deadly weapon when i used to keep it on me, but since it was not concieled and I took martial arts classes I had a pretty valid excuse to have it and no isses (except once.. boy what a story :P)

Aye, I had to remove a shelf to fit the Antec Nine Hundred in that little cubby hole also. I suspect I may also have to do some more extensive dismantling once I get my 24" Dell LCD...

It's great huh? I also have Serenity on HD-DVD, as well as VCD. Not sure if Firefly is available in HD format yet.

(Actually I think I have Serenity on regular DVD too... Yeah I suck :/)

I bought a Razer Copperhead to replace my broken G5 (seen near the drawing on the wall) and it was really cool till the left click button randomly stopped working after an hour... so I took it back to the shop and they gave me a shiny new black G7 instead :D

After getting home and having the new mouse I figured I might as well open the G5 and see if I can fix it since it won't matter if I can't cause I have the new mouse and whaddaya know!? I fixed it, albeit I have to press the "DPI Up" button a little harder than usual for it to register. So now I have my trusty 18 month old G5 (everything seems good) and a shiny new G7 :D

Hey stenchlord, your cellphone wasn't plugged in. Also, get an organizer shelf for the DVDs, keep the clutter of games there though, that's always fun to try to play Jenga with.

Yeah you should consider at least building a small shelf just so stuff doesnt fall down if you take stuff out from the bottom

Nice stenchy you are loaded with mice if one breaks you have 2 more to use

Collecting burnable cds/dvds there also? or do you burn them then store photos on the spindle?

Ummm yeah... that's what I'm doing... *scatters*

Yeah I could build a shelf or buy one but that would require effort and most of that stuff is backed up on my external HDDs so i just plug one of them in.

Phone next to the keyboard is the cordless home phone. My mobile is the Sony Ericsson W950i (see photos below), I think it was in my pocket when I took the photo.



Oh and I only have one mouse extra. If the G7 dies I can use the G5 I fixed. Copperhead was returned to the store so they could get a new one.

Destructo has a similar setup to me because looks like he has a small space like myself and uses his bed (futon) as his computer chair. I'll have to get a series of pics up later showcasing how the room is setup and also of my katana ^^ it sits next to me


This is weird man... we both have small rooms, a Westy 37", use our beds as our chairs, have multiple swords (I have a katana [highlander replica] and a saber [old military]... the katana is kept on my headboard as well), and post on this forum... probably some other stuff in common too. Small world :)

It gets stranger if you take into consideration that you can see my highlander replica next to my desk, and I have my military sabre in my closet :P maybe we were seperated at birth? lol

Yeah I always have my dogtags on from the marines, I was very much anti jewlery myself (not so much necklaces but earrings and things) on guys. However when i came home from my military carreer my little brother was becoming a certified piercing specialist of sorts and begged me to let him "practice" on me. I said no at first, but after so long I gave up and just let him do it. I planned to take them out but since I went thru so much trouble I kept them in. Now since then (this was quite a few years ago) I have thought about taking my earrings out a few times (if you call them that :P its more like gauges) but my wife wont let me! she says she likes them and would be mad at me, so I guess its just become a part of my look over time.

Its quite popular here where I live, so I dont look too out of place, but at the same time its not a big fad where I look like im just trying to fit in. So besides the fact I feel abit strange being in professional business cloths with them somtimes, when I am in my casual attire I quite like them.

I missed this :(

After burning CD/DvD's a very popular place to store them is on spindles, I personally have a spindle of all the really old burnt crap that can essentially be thrown out.

My friend has a bunch of spindles for different stuff, mainly all his Stargate on a few spindles. :P

Nice speakers and reciever Skeeder.

You need to score yourself a good sub now so you can play 2.1

I have 5.1 setup but always use just 2.1

heh, maybe thats why i need one. My hearing is already gone.

combo from military (altrillry fire, gun fire, grenades ect) and loud music and an obsession to bass.

I have had a constant ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember so I dont think I did that to myself, drove me nuts as a kid, like a migrane that never goes away. If you can not think about it tho it doesnt really bother you. If you do think about it or listen to it, it can get much louder and you wont even hear whats going on around you.

Never did figure out what it was, went to several docs as a kid.

My best guess is Tinnitus, but thats a phisical problem, I dont see how it would get louder/worse when I kinda control it mentally.

Or perhaps thats what it is and its just mind over matter and I got used to it over time and thus have some control over it.

Mac OS X in 1920x1200 :D


Macbook sitting on special "economy edition" iCurve (tupperware! :))

Thats what I was gonna say. Best keyboard for sure! Of course you have to have touch typing skills to use it to its best advantage.

Jeff, I love the urban wallpapers, very nice my friend, very nice.

Yea its a while back and looks like shit if that is what you were wondering D:

http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/6011

Since then i got rid of the white speakers and hauled them to my room and i use them with my ipod... (i realized they were only tinny because the subwoofer dial on back controls both the volume of the sub and the bass response of the satellites)

Yea i love to look of teuful speakers... it sucks i cant get them over here :D

Of course i could order them overseas i read a review that said it was 12.5 euros to ship to usa which actually isnt a bad price since it is about 15usd in us for shipping a box that weighs about 50lbs

From reviews and looks it looks like you have to use software or reach around back for volume control... is it really that pointlessly hard to change volume?

Edit: I just realized there is a remote it just is rarely pictured anywhere.

Looking at your site bluesilentpro i love the 8800gtx sticker "My big f'n gun"

I think Teufel will sell abrouad soon. These speakers are just unbelivable for their price.
Concerning volume control: The old Concept E (which I have here) has no central volume control. You have to change volume by software or like I do: by my keyboard. :wink: So it doesn't bother me at all. All new Teufel Concepts come with a remote control so it s not a problem any more.

The BFG-sticker. Year, its nice. :lol: There were several cool slogans included in the package. I picked this one...its simply the biggest graphics card I ever installed in my rig.;)

I have heard music isnt the best on them unfortunately but ill probably listen through headphones most of the time for music anyway

Ill probably try importing them or wait for international sales :D

Most reviews are in german so it makes it odd reading the review because Teufel is replaced with Devil since that is the translation because i send the site through googles translation

Hmm... I should move my receiver back to the desk too. I had it moved to the top of the desk in order to keep it away from my old 21" CRT. Now that I've migrated to a LCD, I'm sure having it side by side or near each other won't exhibit any problem.

I used to have my headphones hooked up to the receiver too. It was great while it lasted. But at the moment, it's impractical as the cord would stretch quite long from the top, across the desk, and through some rather messy stuff just to get to my ears.

Heh, all that sounds like I should reorganize and do some spring cleaning. I'll get around to that... eventually...

Yeah you should be fine, mines not right next to my monitor but its under it not too far away, and its right under the pc itself.

My speakers are right next to my monitor tho, with a crt you wouldnt want to do that.

I actually use it for the headphones as well as my speakers :D (see pic below) and it's awesome for both, with just the headphones switched on it sounds like my speakers but in my head and with the headphones off it sounds like my headphones but in my room but a bit louder hehe (sound quality is good for both) - the speakers are mid 90s JPW Radius series modified with a pair of Polycell tweeters.

I finally got my setup together.. took long enough. :lol:

Not the greatest camera, but you can see it... :P
Anyway here it is:

My new monitor, Benq FP241W. I'm very happy with it, the space to the right of it is reserved for a PS3... just need some money now.. hehe





Not enough room on the desk for the tower, its clear on the side and all lit up with green leds. Nothing special though. :lol:





Pc use and gaming:



Xbox 360 and PS3(When I get it) Gaming and TV/Movie viewing(Theres a HDTV Tuner in the PC):

Its just much more comfortable to watch movies and play games on a couch, rather then sitting on the chair all the time. :lol:

It is about time for me to show you my POV...with crappy images :) --UPDATED--

So here you see my desk with two 226BW's, a printer, headphones... the usual stuff. And of course my Star Wreck coffeemug. And very neatly laid out wiring :lol:

A Closer view, here you can see my Mac Book, coffee mug, headphones and keyboard and all that

And here is the rest of the desk with my mouse, Nokia N76 cell phone and of course my guitar pick's wich I use to play Heavy Metal.

And here is my entertainment section. 37" Full HD TV, XBox360, PS3, and so on.

And here is a view of them both together.

So I have finally bought a CHAIR, I was sitting on the bed before :lol: not so good for my back.

Mouse is on separate small table on right hand side, keyboard is on my legs or I use that black thing on my bed - it is for having laptop on your legs when u are sitting, but it works with keyboard as well. I plan to replace the table in the future with smaller one or I will LCD wall mount

Nice gear guys, though I'm wondering how do you manage to have so few cables behind it all. I've got enough to fill the backside of my desk from top to the ground and that's all around a 5m length or so. For the time being I gave up managing em and they're just hanging about every which way.

option 1: take a 'sick' day and go tour the country side
option 2: nail your hand to a 2x4 attempting to make your own
option 3: get a friend who knows how to make a 'better than bought' desk

maybe these will help :)

Seriously though, if they charge that much to ship it, I'd look elsewhere, that's highway robbery.

2) Find out cost to pick it up yourself.
3) ??????????????

These are pics of my setup.(i hope they work) Small camera so I apologize for the quality. Took me a while to find a nice piece to match the desk, which holds the subwoofer and printer. Also put flat black vinyl decal on the PC case to take care of the reflection i was getting from the monitor.



My cat had to jump in on the last one...

Dude... that one amazing "Clean desktop" Command Center :D

And Maherie... you are using a game rig for a media center? What is your command center then?

Funny enough no, I do all my work on the computer at the top of this page, (Lower Spec) and if any one comes over for a lan session I give them the media centre. It's Massive overkill, but at the moment I don't have the time to swap over parts and take the more powerfull one for myself.

But I do encode a lot and the dual care makes a massive difference.

Yeah I know, it's in dire need of a tidying up. Also, I do have an Ergotron LX coming, so those wooden boards are just a temporary solution.

Here's my setup:



3 22" Flatron Wide L225WtQ LCD's on an Ergotron LX (great monitor stand btw, picked it up for just over $200). Runing on an EVGA GeForce 8800GTX SSC, AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ @2.4GHz and 2GB of DDR2 6400 RAM. Have another 22" Samsung Widescreen i'm going to add in soon, and a small 15" LCD I might hook up to the laptop for a total of 6 screens. Right now I have the spare DVI-out on my card going to a projector with a 120" screen :) I'll post more pics when i get things rearranged/tidied up.

New set up. Just upgraded to 3 of the LG 20.1 L206WTY-BF 3000:1 2ms. Sorry about the flash, I just wanted to show the lights from the monitor, case, g15, g9 and soon to be n52te all matched.

It took me a long time to get this build so I had to show it off ro some peeps that I thought would appreciate it :D



this is if you look to the right. I did not turn the silver monotor on but I watch TV on that and movies on the projector. Just a ghetto sheet but it works lol (Yes, I tighten the sides to make it look better)




That other desk is my lab so it looks like hell lol

You know what I hate?

New members who stroll on in here and make thier first post a pic of thier awsomest desk setup that is sure as hell better than 95% of everyone elses in here. I think we need to put it to the vote.

If your a new member, if your setup is worse than a senior member, you gotta give that senior member your setup, or you can't post.

Sounds fair yeah?

Ok here we go. All in favour? 1...2...3...406...2397...well that's a quorum. Its settled then.

Since I am a senior member I decree that Xantheous should send me his setup. I'll do him a favour and even pay for postage.

Xantheous I'll PM you my address.

Yep, I tried it with two but "span" mode wouldn't work across two cards :x (nor in Vista). :evil:
Because of motion sickness issues with FPS games (which seem to be the most demanding) I don't play them so GPU power isn't that much of an issue. What you see in the screenshot is Guild Wars - which works just fine. :D

Total res = 3840*2048.

Occasionally an in-game dialog pops up centered right on that line and I can't move it - that's real annoying but overall I think it's very much worth it. :D

To reduce bezel width I've taken the panels out of the plastic shells but any further disassembly would require Major reworking of the internals - I keep thinking about it though - thus the rough 2x4 lumber holding it all up.

Can you do me a favor? Cant you see what happens when you try and span the two TH2GO horizontally? And then try and do the same with one in dualhead mode and one in triple?

Thanks in advance. Your the first person ive encountered who has two th2gos

I can span horizontally across all six (though I suspect that would seriously mess up any games). However, span only works if the monitors (the system sees each TH2G as a single monitor) are the same resolution - so I can't set them to different modes and still use span - sorry.

Edit: so as to not hijack this thread you may post further questions here: (link) (It's not my thread but it seems an appropriate spot.)

I've been looking (albeit not actively) for something like that bust of Homer's head for a while now. I thought it would be cool as a place to keep my headphones when I'm not wearing them.

So you use a Homer Simpson head with chocolate on it to lure lolis?

Well, figured I'd post some pics of my setup since it appears everyone has incredible setups. Basically this is only a week old, I just haven't had the time to completely get everything the way I'd like it so my cables are still all over the place and unorganized. :(

The stand is the Ergotron LX Triple Display Lift Stand, works extremely well... I'm very impressed by it.

Nice gear,

As for cables, picture 5 feet wide, a foot deep and a couple feet high and that's how much cabling I have, I tied em up neatly at first but just gave up when I had to redo the lot every change.

Neat cabling is nice and all, but it's a pain when you change something.

I definitely hear you there. I'm probably going to be moving here in the next few months-- so that is actually basically stopping me from getting everything incredibly neat and tidy.

Exactly why I haven't posted a pic of my command center. Any sensitive types would probably have an epileptic fit from visual overload, and the neat freaks would be ringing my doorbell offering to help. ;)

I used to have two side monitors installed but because CRT are so deep I could not fit them in the room with this configuration... also a second video card would be required and besides, just under 8 mega pixels is plenty of real estate.

You can see my aspire one and gutted HP laptop with a screen hanging from the ceiling along with my work bench.

A bit old (February 08 ).

Today:
Repositioned the speakers to link the monitors together.
Whole table filled with paper.

Yes, that are motherboards at the wall.
The colorful thing under the mouse is a LEGO computer case for my 2nd pc.

I'll take a newer picture soon.

Yeah, a Sony GDM-W900. It sits turned off now because of the heat and power it takes. Got it used sometime in 2003 or 04 and it's still going strong.

The Antec Skeleton is a bit of a strange one, I use it to test stuff out and hold my main rigs internals when I'm playing with the case. It's okay apart from the heatsink struggling to fit under the main fan on the top!

My other rigs are:
My main one (the Green TJ07) on the right
My photography rig (the Lian Li PC777 aka Snail) 2nd from right
My Server (The coolermaster Stacker) on the far left
My firewall/folding machine (the Coolermaster ATC110) 2nd from Left

Machines internals are:
Main: QX9650 | 8GB Ram | 2.15TB HD | 2x8800GTX's
Server: Q6600 | 4GB Ram | 4.5TB HD | 9600GT
Photography: AMD Athlon x2 4800+ | 2GB Ram | 2TB HD | 2x7800GT's
Firewall: AMD Athlon 1400+ | 1GB Ram | 250GB HD | 6800GT

I hate to ever throw anything away if it is still working, so anything I upgrade gets put to use somewhere else! The rest of the house if filled with PC's as well - you should see our Electricity Bill! :shock:

I only turn things on when I need them though (apart from the Server).

'ez - I'm always shopping at Overclockers, but haven't been on the Forum for a while. That might be where I have seen your name before???

Yeah, mostly video editing and photography stuff. All the photos I take are in RAW format and take up quite a lot of space (when I fill up my memory cards!).

You can see my spare hard drives and the hot swap caddy towards the top right. I think there is another TB and a bit there!

Hard drives are so cheap these days and I like to back everything up in case of hardware failure, earthquake, meteor crashing to earth... Better to be safe than sorry!!! :wink:

I'm new here, so I figured I'd show my setup. The basic form is there, I just need to clean it up, such as align the lcd's and whatnot. I need to put a little support under the stands for the left and right screens as well, since they're both leaning in a little bit. My TH2G should be here between then 29th and 31st. (2 Day shipping, WOOOOOO!!!!!) Needless to say, I'm excited. I've been waiting for this for about 4 months.




My setup is currently:
Asus M2N-E SLI
Athlon 64 5400+ (6400+ if my sister would get off her lazy butt and order the rest of my x-mas presents)
2gigs of G.Skill DDR-800 (hopefully more. Again, x-mas presents)
1.5T across 3 500gig Seagates
X-FI
8800GTX
Asus DRW-2014L1T
3 Westinghouse 22" - 2 LCM-22w2 / 1 LCM-22w3


And yes, that's a Tonberry in the picture.

I think I spy a VX revolution in the work pic. I must say it is a very comfortable notebook mouse except for the annoyance of the dongle being inserted, but it is better than dealing with lag from bluetooth power saving, or a ultra tiny mouse with a small reciever (read: vx nano)

cant remember where I got the background from... but i think it is quite a popular one.

you mean the painting? got it from Hong Kong.... shipping cost is pretty expensive.

The VX is on every picture but sitting on the charger. Never though of getting a BT mouse.... have to go into sleeping mode to extend the battery life.

Command Center huh? lol. Ok, this is still a work in progress but here you go. Still to come are a new desk (moved back into the corner), Axiom M22 fronts, VP-100 center, QS8 surrounds and HSU VTF-1 sub, plus HTPC for the A/V rack and media storage.





Most the stats for the main rig are in my sig, but you can read more here. I'll pick up a TH2G when I'm done.

Its on the way I think Skeeder

As for my setup update built a stand for my laptop and got a Sony SDM-S51R
from a friend who wasn't using it at the time. Stand wobbles a bit so it is resting on a thin pad on top of an AP test study book (with many subjects inside) for elevation. Also added a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 Keyboard. Stand is to help with posture and cooling. LaTeX Cheatsheet is the paper under the stand and some random headphones to the left for when I dislike fullsized headphones.

Nice setup, any reason why two are resting on things (monitors)

Code:
<img src="http://pikucha.ru/104771/IMG195%20[1280x768].jpg" alt="" />


You would need to right click and copy image address to use img tags like so. Odd site that doesn't want direct linking and causes a dl of image when you open it in new window/tab

My curiosity was why have two resting on boxes and one with its stand extended, couldn't you all have them on the surface of your desk with their stands at same height.

Regardless, nice setup :)

Marantz makes good stuff. where's your sound?
All I see is logitechs.


Its on the way I think Skeeder


Indeed, they were on the way. Axioms all around (front, center, surrounds), except for the sub. That will be an HSU VTF-2 MK3, which will not be here for another week (sniffle).



It's all entirely too cramped for my tastes, but I am currently house shopping and don't want to get a new desk until I know what kind of room all this will go in. Ideally I want to wall mount the 30's, the surrounds and maybe even put the rack into a false wall, but we'll have to see. At the very least the rack will go under the new desk and out of the way.

One of the more hardcore sim setups i have seen so far.

Is the frame made out of extruded aluminum similar to 8020?

http://www.widescreenbabes.com/gallery/3360x1050 - close.

I'll probably make a section for that resolution soon.

also check out - http://www.triplemonitorbackgrounds.com/ great site (most images of chicks are mine, but he's doing a really good job of those sites)

Yes, that is exactly where I got my 1515s t-slot aluminum from. Bought all of it off of 80/20incs site from Ebay. Cut it all, assembled it, then basically bought Frex's motion components and bolted them on. It works great, and really adds to the immersion factor especially in iRacing with their laser scanned tracks. You can feel every bump in the road etc etc. I should have posted a video link to it in action. Shot this video last year in GTR2 back when I was using a 20" for a monitor. Now with three lcds' it is just insane when racing. Pay no mind to the old goofy guy driving. I am not a movie star lol.

I have a Microsoft naturalsoft keyboard mounted just to the left of the cockpit to type with. And thanks for the link to the wallpapers. I will check it out.

OT: The other day I was reading on here and ran across a thread (about 3 posts long) that someone linked a poster to a triple monitor stand that for the life of me I cant find it again. It was a clamp mounted triple stand I think maybe made in Europe. I remember seeing the price was something like 38L or something. Would love to find it again, but have looked and looked, but no luck. Damned if I can find it again.

THX! With buying TH2GO a lot of things is changed in my room.
On calligraph is four chineese symbols that symbolizes four nature elements - Fire, Water, Wind and Ground. Like in 5-th element with Bruce Willis :D

It was pretty much just luck, I used to have a 22" and i figured i had room for an extra inch. It works great though... my next project is to get real computer speakers. I think I'm going to find a nice 2.1 system. Any suggestions?

Ok finally I feel I can fit in around here :D

Here is the new setup I have spent the last week building and putting together. Its still not 100% I have to rebuild my arcade setup somehow and I have a Logitech Momo on the way for some racing fun I may also go through the trouble to remount the tv 6" lower so its right above the 24" monitors it has about a 13" degree tilt so its viewable fine but a bit high for using at the desk, but it was mainly to watch a movie from across the room or play the wii and for that its just fine.











If these pics die just use the link to the album - http://picasaweb.google.com/masakakoi/CommandCenter

Mirror P18x is kinda cool and strange at the same time. Contact paper is kinda a cool look I must say for your desk, not my thing as I like stained wood the most but not a bad idea.

Hmmmm yes. The single screen crowd gets smaller and smaller each and every day...another one lost to the awsomeness multiscreen gaming.

One day, mark my words.

Got a brand new Logitech Momo for $50 on ebay!

I think 3 screens and racing really go hand in hand.

I like the best so far Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, but I also like Need For Speed Shift.



Momo is great, I just wish I had an H-Shifter and Clutch :(

But the G25 is WAY more and I dont like the fact it only has 2 buttons on the wheel. So that means G27 is the only option and $300 is wayyy more than I would spend on a wheel.

Racing lets me get back away from the desk a bit so I can see all 3 monitors and use them a bit more. One Mouse/Keyboard games I am so close its just barley in my outside vision.

i will post a full desk image once my cam is fixed (sent it back under warrantee as it wouldn´t turn on) but just to get things going, i will post a pick of the rig that is powering it, it´s 3 months old (the picture) just as i had finished customizing it, which incidently also took 3 months to complete:









Will also put picks of it turned on, it´s quite a diff beast with all the neons and lighting touches.

The specs if you´re interested are as follows:

Win 7 Ultimate 64bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.6Ghz with Thermaltake BW770 Liquid Cooling
4x 2Gb Corsair DDR3 1600Mhz
eVGA 790i Ultra SLI
2x Asus GeForce ENGTX275 in SLI
6x Seagate Barracuda 750Gb 32Mb Cache S-ATA2

For screens, i have 2 Samsung Syncmasters and an ASUS MW, i know ideally you should have 3 of the same but i kind of blew my budget on the rig and i already had the asus and could only afford 2 more screens, but they work pretty nicely togueter, as i mentioned i will hopefully have some picks soon.

HTPC, I'm planning rebuild of this machine, the new setup will have no moving parts. Therefore being silent...and I'll shove it all into a M-ATX Monuel Lab Case. (1 year until built)


Study station. It works. Pretty slow laptop but its really small and lightweight for classes. Except for occasionally playing a 360 controlled game on the PC...games are off my hobby list.

Those are Microlab Pro3, yes, only 2 channels, I am planning to get something more surround, but really hate huge subwoofers and just want to get 2 more speakers maybe even the same pro 3. The problem is I have to get a good amplifier then cause my current (you can see it aside the left speaker) supports only two channels.

I upgraded from my old Quad 19" monitors to Triple 23" ones (24" wouldn't fit :wink: ). I've got it hooked up using TH2Go. 5040x1050 in games and 3840x1080 for desktop work.



Comparison From Earlier Setup:

Thought Id post some pictures of how I ended up mounting my workstation. In retrospect I wish I would of found This forum before hand that showed the link to the Ergotech brand. I'm happy with the ones I got (ergotron) but to be honest the ErgoTech brand looks better in my opinion. When I initially started looking for a mounting solution. I found very little options for a tri mount system that would support my 26" monitors so this is what I ended up with

Finally.



Bought a more suitable desk and rearranged everything. The monitor arms have cleared up and insane amount of deskspace. My old keyboard tray was about 75cm deep, but this new one is a measly 25cm... so another custom tray is next.
And a new shelf for the "tower" area to accommodate my DVD books.


But now that I've moved everything, it's all in a bit of a jumble and I find myself searches for items again.

First post, so thought I'd share here first. finally got my 3rd (and final!) monitor. 2 x 2405FPW's on the side and a U2410 in the middle.

(I hate how cluttered my office looks, despite it actually being "almost" tidy! lol



...and another:



Only games I have at the moment are:

L4D(and2)
Borderlands
Bad Company 2 (and original BF2)
Supreme Commander 2

Didn't like Borderlands with Eyefinity sadly, but BC2 is good - although my frames are suffering in 5760 x 1200...

Here is my setup.


Is that a HP Home server filled with hard disks sat on top of a large electro magnet I spot there??

@Unknownsock - Looks tidy, I like, which pannels are those? :)

Yes it is, but it is not on top of a LARGE electro magnet. It is on top of an enclosure that is very insulated. The magnet on the speaker would have to be siting on the hard drive itself and it would still prolly do nothing. And just to let you know the server has been running fine for about 6 months now so...

Fair enough, never been one to trust speakers and drives, been hit before long ago in the past :faceplam:.
I cant say I have ever opened up my speakers (same as yours) to check the insulation on them. Although I think id be worried also about the vibrations form the sub and the heads on the drive.

I made this one a couple months ago. I used to have a set up with tons of button boxes etc so there were bits all over the place. I got an ipad and have written software to interface with my sims so I thought a simpler cleaner setup would be better, thats how this came about. It looks a bit strange out the front with those horizontal bars just above where your feet would be. Thats because the final pedals haven't been installed yet. They bolt on to those. A mouse sits on the tray and a g13 to the left so I Can play fps on it no problem. When playing sims the throttle goes where they g13 would normally be and a joystick on the tray. It's easy to drop the rudder pedals in the front when I need to.

Happy so far, except when I bought the seat my 2 year old took a permanent marker to it within 30 mins...

Thanks for that. It's worked out better then I expected. It was going to be for racing only and I was going to use my old setup for flight simming and fps.

It's turned out that that tray is in just the right position and size to be able to do everything comfortably. Unplanned but it's worked out well. Now I am able to use my other machine for work so even better.

I have taken to getting artwork done and printed on vinyl for all my projects. It comes out much better than a plain old paint job.

What's that thing weigh? And the marker swipes just make it unique to you.

Yeah, kids are wonderful. I have a number of unique things that I will always know are mine if they get mixed up with others :)

Not sure what it weighs, the tray comes off, the triple mount unbolts and the seat unbolts. The triple mount probably weighs a few kilos and then the frame which is left may weigh ~20 kilos, not sure. Easy enough to handle though.

It's the base made from 18mm mdf which is more of a beast. I moved it around on a trolley once it was assembled then droped the frame on top and bolted it on. Easy for one person with a trolley and easy for two people to move the base. Two people can lift the frame with the base bolted on as well. The protrusion out the front acts as handles and you pick it up from the back where the sub woofer goes.

Nothing special, I just put the monitors on my desk, decided they needed to be a bit higher, so removed the pin from the back of all 3 monitors and raised them till the pin went back in again.

Hmm, well i guess it's just my monitors that have a static stand, but that'll change in a few days, getting new stands and going portrait.

I love the home office, nice and small, nice having the work and play desks (or what I assume are work and play desks).

AC unit is nice too, if you are gaming you can turn it on to keep it cool in the room.

Very nice looking desks too, where did you get them?

You assume correctly sir. One for work and one for play! :)

I've been asked a couple of times what they are and where to get them:

Manufacturer: Bush - Commercial Furniture
Model: Corsa - Auburn Maple Finish

Right L-Bow Desk, Bow Front Desk, & 36" Return/Bridge is what I have.

Those desks look like they cost a lot more! Only downside is the bow because it doesn't go up tight against the wall but hey in the corner it makes cables easy.

I still love how you can easily spin back and forth between the two desks. Very clean setup and I love the flooring as well (I am a fan of dark reddish woods)

I didn't notice that. Unfortunately, as cute as it is, it's against the rules so I have to remove it :(

Hi burning_kittins

Unfortunately any image in a signature is against the rules. It's pretty much a preventative measure to stop ridiculously huge, seizure inducing sigs. Keeps the forum cleaner too :)
Also, I moved your post into here as it seemed a more fitting location for it, seeing as you posted a pic of your setup :onethumb

Very nice setups you all have!

Update Number 2



I changed out the Apple with another Dell.

Trust me, having two is really nice. One more and I'll be set for a while.

You can find good deals on ebay every once in a while. Craigslist is also good to look at.
I've been also checking forums where people sell electronics.

I hate using my 17" 1600x900 laptop. It feels really cramped. I'm just used to being able to see everything.

I'd just like to add my "Command Centre" to the list.



One in-game shot of my other command centre. P-38 Lightning cockpit in IL2:1946, modded by a small group and me. (bad clipping of the outside airframe)




Hardware on the desk:
Centre screen is a Samsung F2380 and flanked by two Medion Akoya P55004's.
- TrackIR 4 on top of the centre screen
- Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar, modded with IJ's Ü2NXT gimbals and UTM and CubPilot's hall-effect sensor mods.
- Attached to the Cougar (below desk) : SimPed VarioPro rudder pedals
- Logitech MOMO (red)
- Saitek R.A.T.7 (yup, me too)
- AKG K701
- Sharkoon SATA QuickPort PRO with a Samsung HD203WI docked

Out of view, the PC in the bottom left:
- EVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR, nForce 680i
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 [email protected]
- XigmaTek HDT-S1283
- 4x2GB DDR2 OCZ Reaper HPC OCZ2RPR800C44GK
- Radeon 5870 Gigabyte GV-R587D5-1GD-B
- Crucial RealSSD C300 2.5" 64GB (Boot)
- RAID0 2x WD5000 AAKS
- Seasonic S12 Energy+650
- Auzentech X-FI Prelude 7.1

And Logitech G7 and G13 also out of view. I will add an 8800GT to the system, for hybrid-PhysX.

Sort of. I had a old setup going 17" Wide, 24", then one of those dells. I went to 3 23", and had the top monitor left over so I went out and bought two more of the same model. While one has backlight issues, and the other one just has different color, they run pretty good altogether. It's a LOT of screen real estate, that's for sure.

If you don't want to risk a monitor falling off, use a plank of wood across the desk to give them more to sit on. :)

Paddy's trick also works for the menu backgrounds (just enter the gallery, select a trophy to view, press your "FOV key", then exit).
I used "fov 88" at 5040x1050 to match the 4:3 design.

I absolutely love it! love the placement, colors, decoration, the sword!!!

Tell me more about your desk, bought or modded? Makes me want to make a nice granite desk for my man cave instead of a new counter top for the kitchen.

Im probably one of the most broke and froogle owners of a nice setup :D I do everything on the cheap.

That desk is a single piece of 3/4" MDF cut for me at Lowes for like $25, and two file cabinets for drawers/support that were used on sale for $20 each at office depot.

I then got some contact paper off ebay for like $10 and a few L brackets to bolt it all to the wall for extra support.

Oh I did also buy a cheap laminate trimmer (small router) and barowed a roundover bit to round off the edge before I put the contact paper on.

Net cost of my giant 9' long desk less than $100.00

When you use the word "like" next to a specific figure, are you saying it was approximately that figure, or was is like that figure in the sense that $456,789 is like $25 dollars - ie that it is dollars and thus has a similarity...that being the same currency? But I guess that pounds is also like dollars in the sense that it is A currency...and Yen and Yaun and so on and so on. I guess you can see my confusion.
So just need to clarify that.

Like in that context is meaning "it cost around $25".

Wouldn't be surprised if it did - watercooled systems aren't light. My modded P180 weighs a ton now, and that's got a really small loop in it! (pump/res -> triple rad -> CPU block)...

It would seem that I have out grown my 'rents house. I need one of my own.

Hey at least you've got it contained to the periphery of the room.

Don't worry, they're not about to send the crew of Hoarders to film you yet :) :mrgreen:

Well you haven't seen my brothers room. IT's a billion times worse than mine. (Plus he uses a CRT on his main rig, which cant really play any games... sometimes, I don't know how were related.)

Just finished setting the side two 28"ers up. I've got some more things to move around, but 3x 28" is god-like. My 3x GTX260's are sweating a bit though...

Id consider removing the monitor casings. Those bezels seem thick. Nice setup though.

What do you mean by 'removing the monitor casings'? They are pretty thick, 28" with 27.5" viewable, I've corrected it a bit by placing the peripheral monitors closer and overlapping the main monitor's bezel.

He's speaking of removing the outer casing as detailed in this thread: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17897

I considered doign it to my side screen, but seeing that silver finish would bug the hell out of me, and I cun't paint worth a shit - so that's out of the question.

Cool, thanks for that. I'll consider it, but for now I'm just going to enjoy it the way it is. It definitely gives me something to think about.

Black electrical tape is a easy fix and looks quite good if you do it properly.. like carefully following the inner line of the edge with a single strip for the entire length of it, cutting of excess tape and a diagonal cut in the corners.

i did that on my last monitor when the casing got busted.. Of course since I'm "a bit OCD" about my comp i couldn't live with knowing that it was busted.. but it looked alright.

Thanks! I bought some shelving brackets and built my own speaker shelves :-D The two up top are actually my front right and left speakers.

Hi everyone,

New to the forum and triple-screen gaming. Here's a pic of what I've got setup so far. 2 middle screens are both touch-screens, however the bottom touch screen isn't working right since switching to TH2Go, the calibration is a mess. Sadly Windows 7 has no way to specify the screen area that the actual touch overlay is on. Hope to find a fix for this in the future but so far there appears to be no solution.



Cheers,
Mack

Nice setup! I wish I could find a stand that would hold my 3x 28"s, let alone a fourth up top.

Could you post a link to that background please? It's awesome!

Thanks. :)

I'm actually using 2 basic wall mounts I found on E-bay for 20 bucks a piece for the side screens. The 2 middle screens are mounted on one of these: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5618117&CatId=2465

As for the wallpaper, I got it off of http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com DCS: A10C is one of the sims I play, along with DCS: Blackshark.

I can't remember where on the page I got the pic so I've posted it here:
http://www.flextechsconsulting.com/wallpaper4_1920.jpg

And here's a screenshot from DCS: Blackshark that makes a great background, for your viewing pleasure:
http://www.flextechsconsulting.com/ScreenShot_005.jpg

I also have an update of my setup - found some stands for my speakers. Not perfect but it'll do until I find something better.


That's all for now. :)

I just downloaded DCS Blackshark the other day, need to buy a key soon. I play a bunch of flight sims but the learning curve for Black Shark appears to be ridiculous. Is it as difficult as it looks? Perhaps we could fly together once I've got my key, I may need some tutoring.

Also, thank you for the links :-D

No problem, at all.

Blackshark is a bit intimidating at first, but once you get into it you start to appreciate what the team at Eagle Dynamics has done. They're goal is to build the most complex and detailed study-sims to-date. And they have exceeded with flying colours! (I don't work for ED, I'm just very enthusiastic about their products! ;))

I'd be more than happy to help you learn how to fly the Blackshark and master it's many complex systems. I've not found a more rewarding flight-simulator yet and trust me when I say it is worth the extra effort required to tame this beast.

I will PM you with contact info.

If you like i can send you the code. and or the hard copy. Providing you pay for shipping. or just the code if that will work.

Which monitors are those? I like how well they fit together. I'll probably aim to replace my three monitors eventually and that's a good way to start.

Presently my left-most monitor is about an inch higher than the other two, and their combined bezels are a bit too much. Still, I can't complain too much. I mean I *am* on a triple monitor set up after all. :-)

Hey guys... I've visited the forum a fair bit lately, but never joined. But recently I've made a decision which has given me a reason to join up. So this is my first post...


My Samsung 226BW was recently outgrown by my new video cards. 2 x AMD Radeon 6970 in crossfire.

So I decided to go Eyefinity, 3 x HP ZR24w mounted on HP monitor arms.... got the arms so cheap I bought a fourth for the 22".

Three pics. Before shot of the 25" HP Touchsmart 816IQ, HP ZR24W on an HP monitor arm and an old 19" LCD...

After shots of the new setup.... an office full of LCD :shock: :lol: :P :D

Thanks :D

Yeah the desk is a beast and a few years old now, but ideal for the setup :)

I decided to take my NZXT LED Cables out of the PC when puting some new / additional fans in and thought id see what they looked like just draped over the back of the monitors (1 Blue and 1 White):

No LED


White LED Only


Blue LED Only


White and Blue LEDs


And some different angles - both LEDs







Picture quality isnt great, so not the best representation, and they are all on the brightest of the three settings, but it really does give a nice ambiance when sat at the PC in the dark - I might just keep em there :P

Hi, Guys,

After reaching a zenith with the motorsports features of my cockpits last month:



I turned my attention to the aviation features, and this is the result:





It is a huge improvement because now I can stay eyes outside with frequent crosscheck of the "glass" instruments atop the yoke and with hands-on switch changes rather than panning the view down inside the cockpit to monkey with mouse and cursor changes.

The cockpit changes between motosports and aviation configuration in about 20 minutes.

Hi everyone,

New to the forums, just got my setup last week and found yas while trying to find a fix for black ops.
Here is some pictures of my setup



Another angle with the Xbox 360 running (The LEDs dont photograph to well on extreme angles from the looks of things)



This is my awesome speaker stand / shelf creation to hide behind the monitors :)
When your sitting down the boxes are perfectly hidden.



And finally, a wider view of my gaming den. Rear speakers are mounted up on the wall behind where I sit


My specs are,

Intel Core i7 930 at standard 2.8GHz, I've had it up to 3.8GHz before but don't really see the point in leaving it overclocked.
Asus P6X58D-Premium
3x 2GB G-Skill Trident DDR3 Memory
Asus 1GB ATi 5870
2x 2TB WD Green Drives
1x 1TB WD Green
1x 1TB WD Blue (OS Drive)
HAF 922 Red Case

Thats about me, see yas around on the forum.

Thought I'd introduce myself in this thread. Google has brought me to this site numerous times but only decided to sign up today. I've just spent the better part of the hour checking out all the other setups in this thread and some of them are just amazing. The ones with all the racing gear makes me jealous, I would really like to put together a setup like that.

Here's a pic of my setup.


http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj139/mymediaguyver/Desktops/2ace2cf9.jpg

Recently just shifted everything around but it still all looks the similar.
When time and money permits I would like to get all those screens mounted using a bracket and water cool my GTX480's because they like to make some noise when I make them work.

Here's a halfarsed youtube video I make of my setup that shows things off a little better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxvwy8mWOh4 the randoms that have stumbled upon it hate it lol

Anyway just wanted to say hi :)

Got a new mousepad and keyboard since these pics and made my own pop filter for my microphone but other than that its pretty much the same.



edit: oh and finally took the feet off my 2 front speakers because hey lay on their side.


Doing a lot of video work now so sprung for a computer upgrade, could not afford a new build so just upgraded the mobo/cpu so now its a i7 2600K running 4.5ghz replacing my Q6600 @ 3.6ghz

Okay, finally took some pics...



You can see the triple monitor's of course. The desk is Basyx by HON. It's nothing fancy, but it's very sturdy and solid. Gets the job done well. I like to have my monitors up a bit at eye level instead of on the desk so I'm looking down on them. Of course I've gotta have the TV in the corner so I can watch the baseball game while I'm playing a game. :) You can see my unusual computer case in the lower corner by the drawers. You read more about that, see here:

http://widescreengamingforum.com/forum/forums/hardware-software-support/hardware-discussions/15969/custom-case-cheap

I got a hold of some counter top pieces (also by hon, so the colors match. I mounted them side by side, and then bought some cheap plastic drawers from Iris to put underneath the "shelf." This gives some very nice usability. My monitors side higher, I have convenient drawers above my desk, and I have a large space that I can push my keyboard into when I've got my joystick on the desk.



Finally, I tried to "pin up" as much of my cables as I could under my desk. You can see some cables in the picture above, but what you can't see is that these are only the tip of the iceberg. Here's what it looks like under my desk:



The majority of that you can't see unless you've sitting on the floor. If someone is sitting at the desk, you can't even see that.

lol, I made it from a couple BF3 pics from the web, I have made a few BF3 5760 wallpaper and I posted a couple, they didnt seem to gather much interest so I stopped posting them. http://widescreengamingforum.com/forum/forums/general/wallpapers-photography/16656/battlefield-3-5760x1080

Most of them are wild and messy/violent, as this is how I view the battlefield but this one is the cleanest that I made.
Anyway here you go.

Im digging the hardware and setup but wouldnt you want to try to rotate the outer monitors towards you a bit? I know its tough with this setup but IMO this is how you get the best experience out of triple monitor games.

I did used to have the other monitors angled in more, but it actually looks better when they are not, as surround and eyefinity render the image as a single flat display. so there is very little distorting or change when things pan accross the screens.
And they fill your field of view anyway because of the size of the screens, I've noticed that the smaller the screen , the more people tend to angle them. I used to have my 24 inch screens angled much more and it suited them.

Recently finished my setup in my bedroom its a small-ish room so ive mounted the monitors onto the wall. Ive been PC gaming on and off for 12 years now and for the last 2-3 years ive found gaming on my bed is great, with only the sofa as the next most comfortable setup which i'll do after ive saved enough money for a deposit on a mortgage.

Build:
2cm thick ply wood sheet screwed onto the wall (plaster board onto a 3x2" timber frame) across the wall length, painted same colour as the wall (red/blue walls as of 8 years ago - i used to be very patriotic for my countries union flag. It'll do until ive saved enough money for a deposit on a mortgage.
1x flat wall bracket, 2x swivel wall brackets.
1x cable trunking, white to match the wall shelves, otherwise wouldve gone for black to match the monitors.
3x 27" ASUS VE278Q moitors, 60Hz, 2ms.
3x 5meter DVI cables

Im an electrician so:
a 4-way exension socket behind and feeding the 3x monitors. Fed from a 4-way surge protection socket under my bed feeding PC, speaker system, keyboard. Fed from a switch on my bedside table. Fed from the wall socket by the far-end monitor - where my desk used to be.

a blue LED strip light behind the monitors is connected to my bedrooms night-light circuit connected to other strip lights around the room for a low-lighting effect during dark hours. Switchable from the rooms 3-way wall switch by the door.

sorry the pic is kinda poop, ill try and get a better once when im home



specs are in sig

gotta love the viewing angle on thos dell 1907s, the left one is super dark and the right one is bright as hell cause of the angle the pic was taken at.

it took me hours to color calibrate them all really close due to one being slanted left and the other right. but they look damn good now.. as long as you sit front and center

Brother, you should consider ditching the surround system and getting good 2.0 or 2.1 speakers with stands that can sit to either side of your desk for proper channel separation. That'd get your speakers out of the way of the monitors as well and get you some more desk space back. Or just wall mount those puppies in a proper surround configuration... if they accept mounting hardware that is.

Like so:

You are right. The photo was taken just before I took the side and rear speakers away from the main desk and placed them on the two side desks ;)

Noticed the trend in the last few pages that almost everybody has a corner desk!

Wish I had one lol, no room for it since my computer room is also my bed room.

I hadn't noticed that, but you are right. I love mine, found it on Craigslist for $60, couldn't have gotten a better desk for my needs especially since my 28" displays are not crowding me at all.

..and people that keep their cases RIGHT on the floor, at dust central. C'mon kids, raise it up 5 or 6 inches - makes a huge difference.

Mine is on a board so it does not sit on the carpet but nowhere to move it to get it up 6", you will know when I get new pictures up of my setup.

Actually doing a video this time. I have dust filters on it though so the dust getting inside is not a big deal.

Ha! I've got that AK Octane chair! It's quite comfy and the rollerblade wheels overcome everything. :p

I had to take the back off because it started cracking at the connection under the seat, so it's topless now, but still comfy.

One of my friend's sent me an update on his setup tonight. I thought it was too cool not to share.

Take one demiled B-52D fuselage, cut it down and populate it with a B-52G interior, wire it to MSFS, 5x1L for visuals + a few other LCD panels in the main instrument panel and you have a one of a kind "command center". ;)

Have you checked out synergy?

That way you wouldn't have to have two keyboards/mice possibly?

I like this, but is your 3x1 at head height? I love when my monitors middle is right where my eyes sit.

"3over 1 plus 1 TV" !

So the Mac is a independent system ?

Yes. The Mac Pro is hooked to three monitors (top, middle, bottom) and the PC is hooked to three (top row). I am hoping to swap out the Mac Pro (though upgraded, it's six years old) for a Retina MacBook Pro. It would sit to the left of the bottom monitor, and I would use the bottom monitor as a second screen.


I like this, but is your 3x1 at head height? I love when my monitors middle is right where my eyes sit.

The center of the top screen is just above where my eyes sit. They sit about 25% up from the bottom (or 25% down from the middle). I can drop the set of screens by about 1" if I need to, which would get the top row closer to exactly at eye level.

Nice setups guys...I've not noticed this thread before, but it immediately made me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtzOhJ3mR8U

Mine's in a log cabin rather than a basement, so I think I'm ok.

hey ,
thought id post mine as ive had abit of an overhaul
ive moved into my new house about 2months ago, and i decided that i wanted to make my very own command center/games room
now im a welder/fabricator by trade so i knew that i could make alot of the stuff i wanted myself, so the first thing i wanted was a proper full size desktop that went from
one side of my room to the other about 2.44 meters. i decided to go with 30x30 box section brushed stainless steel so i measured up and built and welded a solid table frame. with 3 supporting crossmembers and 5 legs
one leg on each corner and on smack in the middle for added strength.i used 2x 6 meter lengths that came to about £60 which wasnt bad.
so next was the table surface after alot of searching i wanted to go for a solid wood worktop, didnt really like that mdf type stuff so
in the end i went for 40mm thick solid beech it came in 3m length and was 720mm deep, this wasnt cheap either cost me with del £150 and boy was it heavy, it felt like solid metal lol
i cut it down to size , sanded it down and applied several coats of hard wood laquer/varnish and was pleased with the end result. after struggling upstairs with the wood
i finaly got it ontop of my table and screwed it securley down,
the table frame was a nightmare to get into the room aswell i only gave it 15mm clearance either side of the door frames so i knew it was going to be close

next i wanted to upgrade my sound system so i did abit of research and found some studio monitor speakers audioengine active for £200
then i realised that i needed to make some stands for them so i made some stands at work and had them powdercoated white to match the speakers
i also drilled holes in the back of the stands so i could feed wires neatly up in the stand and out of view.

then came my 3 23" monitors i wanted to debezel them but was unsure on
1 what they would look like
2 would it be to fidely

in the end i decided to just do it and debezel them all, but that had its own problems
1 i would have to make new stands as they stand was part of the casing
2 the on/off controls were left dangling when removing the outta case
i made some new stands at work altho it took me two goes to get them right as the 1st stands i did didnt quite work out
i also wanted something infront of my monitors that looked smart, covered all the wires and raised the monitors up more to my eye level
again i decided to go with brushed stainless steel plate to match the table , i did do a test version just out of mild steel first to make sure it would work
but it was ok in the end. i wanted to add a little extra touch so i added some lettering aswell ,and some cut outs for the on/off control panels,
as we have use of laser cutting machines at work too as well as pressbrakes for bending
and powdercoating for painting
i dont use those other departments i just stay on my welding section, but if theres anything i need them to do they can do it for me when the gaffer aint looking
just as long as i do the same for them.
i didnt know wether to have lighting behind the lettering eg perspex with red/blue leds
but at this point i was getting lazy and didnt want the hassle so i went with luminous red vinyl
so i hope you like the 90% finished command center

sorry about the poor pic quality was using my xperia play camera

thanks

i thought that was quite expensive until i started to look as some executive office chairs
that go from £400-900
Its just on wheels like an office chair but obviously bucket seat
Comes in different colours too
Ive also got a sub woofer on order also from audio engine the s8
Its also in white to match the 2 monitors speakers
Should arrive on Monday that was £300

I order a lot of stuff from amazon uk, since they deliver most stuff for free in the Netherlands. New games are often 25 quid, which is a little more than 30 euros. That’s cheap compared to the usual 50.
Do you have a link for me, because I can seem to find the chair?

Amazon does sell them I believe: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Computer-Office-Racing-Bucket-Chair/dp/B003AWSR96/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347809554&sr=8-1 the shipping is 75 pounds.

An alternative is this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buerostuhl24-625200-Office-Silverstone-Anthracite/dp/B004WJDJSK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1347809696&sr=8-2 a little more expensive, but shipping is cheaper (20 pounds).

How would you rate the chair you have?

£75 for shipping wow thats way high!!
well im really happy with my chair, its comfitable during long periods sat on it
it looks great, good support for your back and good build quailty
but saying that i have never really bought a chair above the £100 price bracket before
so i dont know how it compares to others in the same price range

Almost all setup. Waiting on my 7970 to come back from RMA. Sorry for phone quality camera. The wife has the camera hidden somewhere.

5 x Dell 2209wa's - My friend snagged my back up mouse.


3x Dell 3007wfp-HC's


Rats Nest. It seems like 8 monitors will do that.

The exact same thought entered my mind when I saw that setup. Maybe the owner can explain why he choose to go with PLP?

The only thing I can think of is that possibly he's planning on replacing the middle screen with a larger one that is the same height as the portrait panels are tall.

Guys, I'm using PLP because I'm not playing lately, use the PLP because it is better to deal with the various programs that use to work!

So get rid of the report back use my favorite LLL to play! LOL

I finally got round to making a stand for my wheel,
I wanted to make one weeks ago but its having the time lol
Anyway I wasn't going to pay for one when I could do it myself
And the grand total it cost me for said stand £2.99
I had to buy a rubber sheet off ebay to have as a non slip shoes for the feet of the stand
As it would slide all over the place on my laminated flooring
So here it is:
sold my g25 and got t500rs
Man is it better than the g25

hey,
good monitors and good speaker set up
cables are always a pain in the ass
if you buy some cheap cable tidying covers u can cut the vast majority of those cables down
and it will look alot neater
or what im thinking of doing is making a false back to my desk that completley covers all cables in one go.

Well this may be a bit late, but, it's actually just tiling 2560x1600 wallpapers, I'll probably use a program to have cycling wallpapers for each group. 3x1L and 5x1P. Anyone know a place to get 5250x1680 wallpapers?

Very happy with the results, even when maxing out the graphics cards hard I can run the fans about 2/3rds speed and it stays nice and cool and quiet :rockout:

The writing I pasted over from Nexus Forums (Elder Scrolls Modding Site) where it is my Forum Signature.
They use a WYSIWYG system based on BBCode but with more options than this site (Indenting, Fonts etc) and different values for sizes but as you just see the end result its not obvious how complex underlying BBCode has gotten
Added to the fact that I couldn't get BBCodes to work on here at first (I think that was changing my control Panel settings on the fly as it worked fine next time I logged on) resulted in multiple Previews until I hit send in error and being a newb here meant I coudn't just edit it (admin approval thing) but I now know How BBCode works on here. even though I don't generally use much on normal posts.

The Specs above weren't too bad once I knew what needed changing I moved code to Notepad++ and used its find and replace dialog to change most of it in using replace all.
I did notice where I'd edited in the original post how inefficiently it was done by auto system.
Code:
Example

[b][size=150][color=#0040FF][list] EXISTING POST [/list][/color][/size][/b][b][size=150][color=#0040FF][list] EDIT [/list][/color][/size][/b][b][size=150][color=#0040FF][list] EXISTING POST [/list][/color][/size][/b]


Instead of

[b][size=150][color=#0040FF][list] EXISTING POST EDIT EXISTING POST [/list][/color][/size][/b]


This even for adding a comma made it look like and be the mess you saw.
But thats high Level coding v Low level in a BBCode Tag, easier to do fo the writer but a mess to decode.

As for overclocking my two 7970 ghz Editions not done any of that yet (Only got it in April).

Scan have Overclocked i7 3770K from 3.5GHz to 4.6Ghz and its part of the 3 year warranty.

I will do in future as my need and knowledge advance. (My first and only other PC Medion MD8386XL was OEM where BIOS was locked with hidden password I found and got users forum to start cracking campaign that opened eteventually but was still OEM mobo)

It's not the best photo however with an impending house move (we are trying to buy our first) it will be changing. Hopefully I can then get a popper desk that can be "centered" rather than this one which a little cock-eyed

Here is mine, moved a few weeks ago still not setup all the way.

Image

I am adding a 42inch TV corner mounted will post some photos once I get it setup. Anyone got any suggestions on a bracket that will allow me to get the TV centered over the center screen and tilted down a little.


*UPDATE*
New Samsung 3D TV installed, still need to adjust TV some and bring it closer to my screens.

UPDATE: Monitors mounted to the wall
Image
In case anyone wants to know how I did this; I mounted the pole from the ergotech stand to my wall using 2 saddle clamps then just hang the monitors off the stands arms.

Older posts:
Spoiler:
UPDATE: Cables managed:
Image

UPDATE: My new stand has arrived
I need to buy longer DVI and power cables now as they are not long enough to be hidden anymore :(
Image


Going to attempt to mount the pole the the wall soon and then hang the monitors off that, the base seems a bit too big for my desk and I'm not sure about all this weight in one area on a glass desk.

This is my setup 1P + 3x1L
Image

This is my PC, It's not too bad
Image

This is the front of my table, I attached a switch to control the lamps on the left corner underside of the table
Image

This is the back of my table, kind of managed (enough so you don't notice them from the front)
Image


Im waiting for an Ergotech 100 D16 B03 stand to be delivered, after I mount them I'll have more desk space.


Here are some old images:

Well I did it again. I changed my cards and monitors so I could run a game on the center monitor only .(in the rare case it didn't work in surround)

Not the most recent pic of my Surround setup but it is somewhat representative of what it looks like day to day. This shot is only about half of the entire layout as I can't back up far enough to get the entire desk in the pic using my crappy cellphone.
