Wow, now that must be a pain in the ass... You go far for parties or do you have them at friend's houses? I personally have never been to one, there are never any around...

There's one held at my university, so we get taxis there. Last year we lived on site in halls of residence, so it was a 5 minute walk!
They're great fun if you're into lots of PC games, have a look and see if there are any in your area!

I bet they are sam! I live in Canton CT, which is near the city but it definetly aint anything like California... Wow, thats so cool you have LAN parties at school.
There are a couple of "gaming rooms" or places where they already have the pcs set up for you, but most of them are outdated and play the games like crap. (I would image).

heh, there's always Quake 3 Arena, we used to do that at school!
For the reference, University is not school, nothing like it. It's far more open and unregulated than school is, and as such there are hundreds of societies, and you're allowed to start your own.

Typically you are for the first year, then you find your own accommodation for the subsequent years - I'm currently staying in a student house near the university.

@rihgt
Its actually an iPod Nano not a mini ;p
And no, I am not rolling in the bank nor spending my life savings. The computers are an investment for my future as i need them for school, and the other toys i just pick up here and there. I have to work some times 20 hour days between school and 'work' to have what I have.

HOW many 360 controllers?
I see the projector screen, what's your projector like? Is it an HD model?

8 Controllers... I bought them on ebay in a lot of 12 for 40 bucks.... Each one had something wring with it so I managed to swap parts and what not and salvage 7...
The Projector is an In-Focus IN76 it has a Native Resolution of 720p although it will display 1080p.I picked it up at the Infocus close out sale last year for price.

Hmm, not bad, especially on fixing the 360 pads. How much did you have to spend on repairing them?
On the projector - how good is it at displaying SD images? I like large screen LCDs, DLPs etc, but have never been impressed at how they deal with standard def video compared to a CRT.

Hard to believe, I started this thread back in July 2005. Now January 2008 and it's still going strong. Some really nice setups here too. Thanks to everyone for making this such a popular thread.
Not much has changed with our setup. The big ugly 19" CRT's are gone. instead we have new 19" widescreen flat panels. Other than that there are a few hardware updates that you can't see, new CPU's, MOBO's graphics cards etc ..
For those of you too lazy to go back to the first post, here is the original picture ;)
Hello to everyone I haven't seen for ages. Hope you're keeping well.

Hey Hey.. Mr Taz.. the hardware may change, but the cat remains the same.
looks like in the "bang per buck" stakes I'm still winning.. remote control it these days... comfy chair and all.
is all run from mission control..
Yeah.. for the eagle eyed that's an old Dell optiplex 110 running as a loadbalancer/firewall and local terminal.. you get to see another room in the rathole I call home..
