Is that a Microsoft Sidewinder Strategic Commander I see stashed next to your printer? I thought nobody bought those.

What 'new shiat'?  I'm not getting an Xbox if that's what you mean.  I still have a lot more fun playing all my old games than all the new games.  Nothing beats NHLPA '93.

They're all piled up there because there really isn't a lot of room in that corner of the room.  It's bad enough with all the controllers in the bottom cupboard below and all the cables behind the TV stand.

Just use emulators on your pc.

Just thought id share my project with you guys as well. Parts have been sitting in boxes for past few months and i finally found some breather to hook'em all up. Just got it up and running a week ago.

I play alotta games, so this is my gaming rig with the main components:

FX-55

A8V Deluxe

Corsair 4400 Twinx 512 x2

2001FP 20.1" LCD @ 1600 x 1200 @ 16ms

X800 XT PE

80gig x2 @ RAID 0, Western Digital

Z-5500 speakers

Everything is stock standard, no overclocking planned for the moment as it handles anything and everything u throw at it. Purring like a kitten.

When I got my A8V Deluxe and X800, PCIe and SLi came out, doh! But i aint complaining. really hard to catch up now. stuff's coming out too darn fast. Comments welcome :)

Here's mine all over again as I never did close-up on what was happening... So, I'm doing it now.

01.jpg - Plasma television.

02.jpg - My slim modelled PlayStation 2 with Logitech wireless controller. My other controllers are in a draw to keep it tidy and as I rarely play with other people. Component AV and digital output (optical) connected into my television and home theatre system.

03.jpg - My platinum GameCube and a USB keyboard underneath for when I go online on PlayStation 2.

04.jpg - My game and DVD collection, some more games are in my room cabinet but these are the ones I have recently played.

05.jpg - Um... A very blurry overview of my 'gaming area' with a very high-contrasted Boyd on the screen.

Don't think I've updated my setup pics here for a while:

consoles.jpg

Gamecube, PSP, Nintendo DS, AV Switch, GBA/NDS games and my PDA.

television.jpg

My 28" CRT. I've spent a hell of a long time calibrating this for the best geometry I could get, and the best picture quality. It's an IDTV, so I get freeview in it, and it had a ton of other features. (picture-in-picture etc)

powerbook.jpg

My latest addition: the 17" Powerbook; the slogan for the iMac is "where did the computer go." At only 1" thick, I've been saying this more about my Powerbook than the iMac. ;)

On the left is my A5 Wacom graphics tablet, the mouse is my Logitech MX1000, that's my iPod Shuffle charging in the USB2.0 Hub, and to the right of that are my Grado SR-80s.

games.jpg

My other games. At one point I didn't have enough room to store all my games on that.

My setup had changed a lot in the last few months.

I did have a fairly good 1000 watt 5.1 setup (with a massive sub) but when I bought my Grados (headphones) they just couldn't compare, so I ended up selling them. I've still not heard any speakers that compare to these headphones, and I still don't have an amp for them yet. (although a few devices have amplified headphone jacks)

I had an Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube at one point, but sold the ps2/xbox shortly before getting the PSP/NDS, partly to raise funds for them, but also because there isn't much due out for either that I'm actually interested in now. They're so cheap now, if there is a killer app, I could easily go out and get one anyway.

There used to be a 20" iMac where the Powerbook is now. While the Powerbook is a smaller screen, I actually prefer working on it, and feel more productive. Even though I do a lot of Photoshop work, I think there was a lot of "wasted" space on that big a screen.

    • This is not surprising of course and I stopped using Chrome years ago.
    • It's not that we have to many ads? WTF? LOL
    • I switched to AdGuard for this very reason. All my uBlock filters and user scripts ported over with no issues.
    • This is a hot take, but I only use "New" Outlook for 1 reason, the "My Day" side bar that shows your tasks and Calendar on "New" Outlook allows you to view shared calendars and not just your personal calendar. On "Classic" Outlook it only allows your personal Calendar. For my job, we have a group shared Calendar that shows appointments and scheduled tasks for the team and we don't really use our personal calendars.  
    • Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker by Taras Buria FIFA World Cup 2026 is kicking off in the United States later this week, and Opera, a popular cross-platform browser, is making it easier to track matches on mobile. Today, Opera announced a redesigned home page for its Android browser. The new home page is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Users can now customize Speed Dial icons (round, square, or squircle), enjoy a new weather widget with real-time conditions, and open AI Mode or a private session with a single tap. Additionally, the browser now has a built-in football tracker, allowing you to follow your favorite team without using dedicated apps. The tracker displays live scores, notifications, and statistics in a dedicated football hub. You can also check out line-ups, match events, and more. Opera surveyed its users, and 38% of responders said they plan to follow the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a browser. The tournament starts on June 11 and ends on July 19, 2026. "By providing football fans with instant access to live scores alongside a more considered design, we’re ensuring they are never more than a tap away from the action, even when they can't watch live," said Tim Lesnik, Product Manager at Opera Mobile. For Opera users in the United States, Opera runs a contest, offering them a chance to win tickets to a match in Miami in July, Android smartphones, PlayStation 5 consoles, smart TVs, and Amazon Vouchers. Users can participate by posting on social media with the #OperaFandom hashtag from June 12 or by signing up on the official Opera website. Opera will announce winners on July 3. You can download Opera for Android from the Google Play Store using this link.
