Which HDD and chip did you use? I am thinking about modding my Crystal Xbox with an Xecuter3.

My xbox is softmodded with an 80GB western digital HDD.

80GB is almost enough, 120GB is plenty. softmodding saves you the hassle of buying/flashing a chip.

IK, the monitor are only like 7 inches away from my face atm.. ne closer and it will blind me :x ..im gonna put pc on a stand next to desk to increase my overall desk area :p

keep the pc on a stand and NOT on the floor. Unless you want dust in your pc.

Keep the left and right speakers on the extreme ends of the desk. The farther away from you, the more immersive the surround effect is.

k.. no

lol i went and bought shelves and put speakers on them.. ill take pics after im done cleaning the room up cuz its a mad mess atm

Here's the only pics i could get out of my camera, *digi cam is dying* it cuts in and out sometimes taking photos. The ccd is whats shot ( or so i'm thinking) gives me an excuse for a new one :)

Samsung 17" lcd and a set of Mackie hr824's ( you'll see these in my studio as well) I absolutely love them.

I had an extra rack on wheels no longer being used in the studio and i had an extra rack case not being used so i took advantage of it and pulled the gaming rig out of its case and moved it into the rack.

Pc - 3.0ghz, radeon 9800, 1.5gb ram, 3x120gb Eide hds, Dvd burner and a fw maxtor 200 hd, audiophile 2496. I use it to store all my movies and music that i use / listen to around the house, with xbox or pcs in office.

It's going to be replaced with a 3.4, 6600gt, 1gb ddr2 ram at the end of this week and likely moved back into the studio as a slave vst machine. Not insane into gaming hence why i went with the price saving 6600gt from xfx.

Here's a pic of the pc in the rack w/ an apc ups and the furhman line conditioner everything else runs through.

585218096[/snapback]

Well, if it is on a stand, it will get less dust than right on the floor.

The position of the rear speakers are fine. I was talking about the front ones.

The farther apart from each other the R and L speakers are, the better the surround effect.

i can hardly hear the rear speakers now! im not listening to you any more

585220117[/snapback]

I never said anything about the rear speakers?

you moved them on your own.

If you can't hear them, you can adjust them in the creative software.

move the front speakers to the ends of the desk!

    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
    • Macbook Air is an appealing option, as are plethora of Windows devices with various different CPU's
    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.
