    Dell Inspiron 580
    Machine name: OVERLORD
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 550 @ 3.20GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.2GHz
    Memory: 4096MB RAM
    Card name: ATI Radeon HD 5450
    22' monitor and running at 1920x1080


    Set up has taken a while to get into shape, but in a nut shell:
    I have the PC and the xbox 360 hooked up to a KVM switch so that they can share the same monitor. I press a button and the KVM switch swaps the signal to the monitor. I can also use the same keyboard between the xbox and PC.
    Using a mini mixer to handle the audio from my PC and xbox (and phone and MP3 if needed). This allows me to control the volumes of each source on the fly and hear everything at once through either of my two headsets. Useful for listening to music or talking to someone on skype while playing the xbox.
    Headsets: TB x31s (wireless) + Wired Elecom headset.
    I have only one spare internet cable spare for myself so I have it running into my PC and using a usb to ethernet adapter I have bridged a connection between my PC and xbox for internet.
    Hard drives are there for my back ups. Plastic holding up my headsets because I am classy.

    Horribly complex, uses up a lot of power sockets, wires need tidying badly, but in the end it is worth it.

    Looks like a bit more room compared to your last place dude, nice. It does look very much like a blokes room, your other half has to put her stamp somewhere.

    Don't fight it, it's easier the way !

    Got one of these a month or so ago, really good tv for the price. Freeview/build in media player and great picture.

    Not sure if Argos.ie does the same deal, but i think you'd be pushed to get a better deal tbh.

    This TV will not work with digital signals in the Republic of Ireland, you will require a digital set top box or satellite source .

    Tbh Canister your best bet is to go to the HE forum

    ____

    Canister, maybe take a look at this TV. Gone up from €280 to €320ish euro, but still a good price imo, and it definitely plays digital in Ireland.

    You could get that quality for that price range but you'd have to give up on size. ie. not gonna get much over 24"


  • Registered Users Posts: 88 ✭✭canister94


    thanks for the replys ya i currently pay on a 28" so any thing arounf that size is good really like the samsung.the most important thing is i get rid of the c.r.t takes up about half my room

    "What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger".

    Spent 15 years of my life using a 12" Sony Trinitron TV monitor from the early 80's at the end of my bead. Remember when console cables were like only 2 feet long.

    From personal experience, I would recommend lowering the TV and lying down on the bed, or raising it/moving the bed closer and sitting up straight.

    You also have to remember that the majority of people on this thread have jobs/ got money off mammy.

    Had to rearrange some stuff to make more gun space, and more on the way.....:o. I swear if I didnt have them right beside me to leave off a few shots the mega b1tch thread would be overflowing with rants. (more so)

    Move the height of your set even by only a few inches and its ridiculous how weird it feels, just all wrong!!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,207 ✭✭✭hightower1


    thanks magill, their only airsoft stuff but still pretty pricey. The whole rack , guns and accessories was prob about 2500+ all in all. Not to mention months and months of customs / shipping clearence.

    The mini monitor is a advnet vega custom flashed for honeycomb. Very handy to have right there if you want to check weapon stats or maps online quickly. (or boards :D)

    I dont mate sorry but ebay have hundreds of them just search there for "tablet arm mount". Its for tablets but I had a notebook on there before and its very strong. You can perma mount anything to it or they come with large velco pads which will hold large size laptops. Power drill and a few good bolts and your sorted.

    Carefull not to b1tch slap yer laptop off the mount while playing kinect though :o:o:o
