I know the speakers should be behind me but i`m not prepared to run wire`s either on the floor or roof, not to mention i have no room really either, i still get some slight surroundish feel, they are almost at my side when i game... it`s stain not paint though. :bleh: Paint would look dreadful. :lol:

I would of put the world map in there. :bleh:

Thanks, i think. :o :p

Wheres that face palm picture. :cry: Ok even though it does not fit properly i dug out a different poster.

MUCH better! :lol:

what? :nuts: wow jeez it gets to you that bad huh? insecure much? :lol:

ok clownshoes since you asked so nicely here it is by request.















please excuse the crappy camphone your highness.

:lol: Good show, i did`nt think you would post any, and no i`m not insecure, do you think i would post pics in the 1st place if i was ? If i was an ass i would look for negatives and dislikes with your taste but i`m not like that. Imaginary + rep for you.

CRT, eh. :bleh:

And we all love the dolls, er, I mean "action figurines" you have on the shelf behind you. :hmm:

Ewwww - CRT. :(

ive yet to find a single lcd that offers good image quality across all resolutions then what a crt offers, many here will agree.

i will be sticking up with crt until sed monitors are out, my crt gives me fantastic picture quaility, only thing i would like would be a widescreen crt, that would be fantastic, but looks like im waiting for sed for that.


they are not action figures.

they are my friends.

:bleh:

Really? Doesn't look like a particularly good CRT from a distance. Well whatever works for you, but CRT's kill my eyes and I'm glad I never have to use one ever again. :)

Nice setup, Deaderinred. And I love the red panted walls, and the Delorean! :up:

Unfortunately LCD's look less than perfect when run @ anything other than their native resolution. That is why you buy a nice beefy video card with a 22"/24" LCD so you can game natively @ 1680x1050 or 1920x1200.

You would be surprised how excellent newer LCD's look when calibrated. Hell my Samsung Syncmaster 226BW looks phenomenal and is going on almost 2 years old.

if you look closely you can see a jawa in the passenger seat. :drool: :bleh:

Yeah I'll trade a little image quality for a lot less flicker. Even though its not somthing that I will notice, it does take its toll on me.

Case: Antec 300
CPU: Intel C2D Wolfdale E8400
Motherboard: Asus P5Q Pro
Video: Nvidia EVGA 260 Core 216 Superclocked
RAM: OCZ 4GB DDR2 1066
PSU: OCZ 600W SLI ready
OS: Vista x64

2x Scythe 120mm fans on the front

rig runs silent.

Still there are few cables i need to work around, but nothing before i upgrade my HDD setup to 2x Raid 0 WD Raptor + single WD HDD.

Nice setup redstar. No mousepad? Damn i wish i had the money you have. :p

I never use a mousepad either, no real need for one if you have a lot of desk surface. At least, I never needed one anyway. Just have to keep the desk clean. :D

It's not like i make a lot of money, i would say decent amount. I got this build for $1200 over new egg. no interest over 12 months. Oh well i'd rather put payment into this machine then get soda every day and some junk food. In 12 months things will be paid off. I already had HDDs and Video Cards, Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse. Yes, i don't have mouse pad. Surface of this old desk is perfect to use it.

Just given ya crap. :p Hopefully in a month ill be able to grab a new HDD, monitor and videocard.

:lol:

Aren't the G5s pretty cheap?
I remember see'n a store selling them for $10+Tax.. I think it was Best Buy... wasn't even a sale...

I don't think they're that cheap, I would say probably closer to $30-$50.

What? Aspire One with 9-cell battery

Why? Because I can. And because I was getting frustrated with the short (~2hr) battery life with the standard 3-cell

how long do you get off the 9 cell? and how much $$..

Haven't manually timed it yet. XP estimated 9h:50m just sitting at the desktop, no WLAN, dimmest setting, but it tends to be overly optimistic when the battery is nearly full. I'm sure I can easily get over 7 hours though, even under relatively heavy use (brightness turned up, WLAN active, high CPU etc.). 8-9 hours is probably possible at very light usage.

I bought it used for about $75. I was going to get a 6-cell but I thought this was a good deal so I went with that instead. Can always pop the 3-cell back in when I need ultra-portability. Although not having to carry the power brick with me everywhere also makes the system feel much more usable on the move.

Just got mine up and running.

The case all ready for some paint.


Case painted


Mobo installed


Finnished


cheers

What kind of paint did you use? Powder coat?

I just used a can of Tremclad flat black for paint from home depot. It worked out great.
