@andersg - LOL, i got carried away thinking about the Brothers in Arms re-release. Trouble is my wallet got carried away too, i needed something on top of the Brothers in Arms CD to be eligible for free delivery so i bought a cheap DVD player (as you do); then i really got carried away and ordered a 19" widescreen TFT screen too (it was rude not to).

At least i'll have an excuse to post new pics of where i'm sat now :P

Too many CDs? I recently bought one of these for £25 inc delivery:

Pretty good for storing plenty of discs, it isn't that huge either.

Hey Tocool,

I would, but I can't.

To post one, I'd need a digi cam, I haven't got one atm, I don't particulary need one either.

Well that sucks! Better do one of those offers and get a free one... LOL. Has anyone actually ever won anything from those pop-ups? If they haven't, hasn't anyone sued?

@Sam, you mean "CLICK HERE FOR A FREE IPOD/DVD PLAYER/PLASMA TV/XBOX 360/PC!".

Lol, No, I don't see any of them, I use Firefox w/ Addblock, Filterset.G, NoScript, so its been a while since I've seen a pop up :-p

You still get them as ad banners in windows. Also I've found that the Firefox popup blocker is easily overloaded, if a page loads more than 2 popups at once, any surplus will still appear. :-(

Yeah, with the slight adjustment to my arrangements, it calls for another photo. Suppose that's due tomorrow.

Rav, your excuse for not posting a pic of your setup is utter crap!

You can afford multiple plasma, sorry, HD plasma Tellies, but not even a simple camphone?

Tsk Tsk! :-)

Ah the wonders of data transfer...


Only the two silver icyboxes are mine (250GB Caviar SE S-ATAs), the black one (120GB Barracuda IDE) is a friend's, used to extract data from a RAID setup of those Caviars, and then restore it back to them as external solo drives. Fun fun fun! It took 13 hours to do the whole process. If only my old PC also had an external S-ATA bracket!

Hey Lethal,

Lol...your right, but its true, I have't a digicam, neither do I own a cam phone (presently), I gave my simple Sony Ericsson T610 away so she can keep in contact w/ me, was thinking about buying a w500i, but haven't thus yet.

So there you are, why I haven't posted a piccie of my set up, I would'nt mind doing so, my 2 set up's are pretty nice IMO ([1] p4 3 Ghz w/ 1GB ram, [2]1.5 Ghz Celeron w/ 1GB ram, x2 17" HP vs17x monitor's, x2 Simple Silver + black case) :-)

I guess I invest my cash elsewere, I love my entertainment :-D

Soz, I'll get you a piccie one day... :-p

@sammorris,

V.Sexy! as usual, great gadgets!

Comming closer to the "full shot" of your set up you promised 3-4 pages back.

This is with our camera - note it has a slightly grubby lens, my CRT doesnt have those marks on it!
I temporarily had access to a better camera (my brother's) and took this photo - excuse my leg! LOL

If this latter one comes up huge, I'll edit it immediately. Imageshack is supposed to have resized it.

Thanks, yeah I like that monitor very much, lots of people seem to report complaints regaring ghosting, banding and other issues, but so far I've had none of it. Thing is it isn't just a computer monitor, it being the size it is and 6ms plus it looking good are nicities, but it has a massively height adjustable stand, can be rotated about 180º left to right, tilted 20º or so up and down, can be rotated 90º into portrait mode, it has an in-built USB hub with 4 output ports and an all-in-one memory card reader that can all run off one A-B cable, and it has not only VGA and DVI inputs, but Composite, Component and S-Video as well, and you can Picture in Picture with them too! For the price I don't think it was a bad buy, especially when you consider you can run 1080p through component to it and it becomes an HDTV!
The hilarious thing is that picture is now out of date again (last update were the two Icyboxes visible at the back) because my steering wheel's come out now I have GT-R 2. I'm looking to get a Driving Force Pro at some point, given that I can run my PS2 into the same monitor as my PC...
I know there are bigger screens and badder PCs out there, but I'm quite content ;-) That is, until I find a game that won't run at 1600x1200 or 1920x1200, the only two resolutions that this screen can really display without too much degradation. I haven't played Oblivion yet, so we'll see what's what.
Ooh, I forgot, I also have a back half of my room! LOL
http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/517/1006215mu2.jpg
There we have the current TV for the PS2 and N64 (oh yes...) my rear speakers (well you can't see the other in that shot) and an incredible number of random books, don't even ask lol.
