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.

    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
    • Flying as the central point eh... As a massive Spyro fan who has replayed the Reignited Trilogy three times and the originals 4 times... I have some doubts, but maybe...
    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
