    Imagine how crap his rig would be considered in 2030!

    img1445su4.jpg

    That XBox died. Replacement lies flat in same place.

    edit - 19" Dell Monitor and a Sony Hi-Fi. It's in my bedroom so a) no space for a big tv and b) I can't set up 5.1 surround sound because the sound carries all over the house and through to neighbours, and I'd have no space for it anyway.

    Couldn't be arsed getting my digital camera so just sat my MacBook on the couch / floor and used the iSight:

    My overall setup viewed from couch consisting of Sharp Aquos 37" LCD TV, Argosy Media Drive, Mac Mini, XBox 360, Landline Phone (which looks like a mobile), Wireless Keyboard with Integrated Trackpad, 30 DVD's (boxsets mostly) on bottom shelf and 3 speakers (the other two are up behind the couch). And then 5 full DVD racks to the right of it:

    Closer view of setup from the floor in front of it:

    Closer view of my 5 full DVD racks (with a couple more boxsets on top for good measure). With 'The X-Files Complete Collection' and 'Scene It?' out in front

    Great, i thought i was the only one who does'nt have some sort of separate sound system..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,234 ✭✭✭Mr Bloat


    Well, there's no way I'm embarrassing myself by showing pics of my setup after seeing some of those!

    Truthfully though, how many of you guys had to do a major tidy-up before taking the pics? I refuse to believe you lot are *that* clean. :D

    Actually.. I have 5.1 surround sound from it. There's 3 speakers in the unit with the TV, XBOX etc. They're just difficult to see as they're dark.

    There's one either side of the TV (left and right), and 1 on the second shelf down (center).

    My camera phone sucks, and I can't be bothered finding the lead for it anyways...
    Currently have it plugged into a 22" widescreen Samsung monitor (along with my pc)
    The games are all stacked on top of my pc

    Sound if through my old stereo... next purchase is definitely gonna be a decent surround sound system.

    Also got a 32" tv in the sitting room with my Wii and PS3, but haven't bothered trying the 360 on this yet

    Hooked up to a Philips 28" CRT in our living room. Must say that I can't see a thing when I'm sitting on the couch, I've to pull up to an armchair.

    Haven't fiddled with the surround sound as it doesn't have optical-in, must try it some evening.
