Hehe, yeah, I had no experience of LAN parties before I came to York, and I have to say they're one of the highlights of being here. 12 Player deathmatches with real people who you're in the same room as is great.

Damn Brent - you have a sweet sweet setup going! Are you happy with that 8800GTS? I like the cubby hole for the desk in your first pic. Looks like you're a neat freak like me - your house is spotless :D How do you like your Polaroid? I'm lovin' the heck out of mine. I used a DVI to HDMI cable to connect it to my PC and the picture is wonderful.
Sounds like I'll leave all that LAN stuff for you young fellers - it does look like it'd be a hoot though. Maybe I'll hire a kid to cart and setup all the crap for me so I just have to show up and play. Dunno if I could stay up that long!!!

I only succeeded once, it requires a lot of caffeine. This last one I could hae stayed up all night, but I have a report due soon, so I need to get that done, and therefore went for a 2 hour nap at 11am. It can be a pain carting stuff down, especially with a 30" LCD to move, fortunately the NZXT Lexa's carry handle makes moving the PC a breeze, less than can be said for my mate nick's 20kg+ water cooled full tower with 9 hard disks!

Hey Neph,
Yeah I like the Polaroid, but I don't see it to much. I have a 60" Sony LCD I like a lot and I am actually thinking about hooking up the small box (one in the Kitchen area) to that. As far as the video card goes it seems to be good, but to tell the truth I just built that system and haven't had much of a chance to use it just yet. I am kind of a neat freak I guess you could say because I hate to see cable's sticking out anywhere (like yourself). My wife thinks I'm crazy because I drilled hole's in our brand new house and ran all the speaker wires behind the walls, but now she is happy I did it because it looks good!. Here are a few more pictures of my new house, and by the way your area looks much cooler than mine, Damnit! LOL
Here is where I have been spending most of my time. I built this workbench and shelves all by myself :-) (First time I did anything like this)
The Pool Table, Fooseball table, and Dart board. All I need now is the bar and we can have a party!
Here is my favorite toy of all!! (the Suzuki RM85 L is my daughters)
Here is the living room (with my 60" Sony LCD!)
OK I better quit for now, but I really love our new house! :-)

I think between those ages for me we didn't have PS1 yet. Hell come to think of it we didn't even have Atari then either! Damn I am old!

Everything so neat and orderly - you're a man after my own heart Brent. Boy you sure have a nice place over there. If I can ever figure out to turn my Dodge Dakota into a submarine I might have to swing by for some foosball :P

That means that where I'm from...West Virginia, the houses had basements. Where I live now...South Carolina, is about 15 feet above sea level and no one has a basement. You don't have to dig to far to get to water in other words. LOL
@Brent
I was an all around college intramural expert...LOL I spent alot more time in the student union than I did in class. I excelled in Ping Pong and Foosball, I got pretty decent at pool but nothing to brag about.
@Neph
I'd take you out on the foosball table too...you sexy beast.

Been a long time lurker here mainly for DVD help, just recently decided to try and help out where I could in that area and Im also enjoying the rest of the forum : )
Hope this isnt too long winded for you guys !
Im a bit different when it comes to my PC as you will see in this post. Ive been a long time Sillicon Graphics user and fan of their visual styling so these days I use a Personal Iris case with P4 3.0 Prescott, 2gb PC3200, 4 Seagate 169gb single platter SATS II drives, a Lite-On 16x DL DVD-R/RW Burner and a 5900 Ultra [ old school card I now but oc's like a fiend and serves my gaming needs fine ] Audio is SBLive Platnum out via SPDIF to a Teac AG-d9100 5.1 amp, JBL, Fisher speakers aswell as a set of MS DSS80 speakers and sub. I used to run an SGI 1600sw but have recently switched to a Pro View PL926Wbi 19" 16 x 10. Great bang for the buck ; )
I dont really like furniture and Im a batchelor so for me furniture consists of a huge comfy chair a big screen TV and several arcade video games : ) My PC sits on the floor next to my bed with no frame, I use a wireless Logitech Rat & Keyboard and usually use an Infocus X1a @ about 97' diagonal 4 x 3 and around 90' 16 x 9 for PC, movies console games etc, Curtain Backer material screen on an 11 foot wide bye 8 foot high wall.
Here are a few pics taken with a net cam, someday I will buy a real camera. This will give you some idea of how I play though they arent real good quality.Not all taken at the same time but it is all the equipment Im using at the moment.
Bye the way if you have the room for a projector I definitly recommend trying one, Ive had mine for over 2 years and I will never go back to a big screen tv ; )
Older pic of the Personal Iris case
Excuse the mess,I think it looks worse in the pic as eveything looks like trash weather it is or not ; ) Pc is on the left of the table
The Pro View running MS Flight Sim 2004
To the right of the TV in that last shot is my collection of Little Bastards in a 30gal tank, Mallowan African Cichlid's
What they actually look like
Projector on a shelf, pc is to the right
This will give you an idea of screen size, though it can easilly eat up about 3/25 of the entire wall : )
Closer shot
This was taken about 2 - 3 feet back no zoom or anything
MUHAHAHA
Again these pics do it no justice, but games generally come off looking like this : )
This wouldnt be complete without a shot [ really bad one too ] of my Jack Russel Terrier "ZAK" in his usuall position on my bed
NeoGeo ..... 2D goodness at its finest !

A projector? Lame! LOL.
A projector would be cool if I had the space for it, but I prefer my 2560x1600 resolution over anything above my 30" size. That's plenty big enough when it's right in front of your face.
