cool, although i doubt you've got them in the same dodgy arrangement. was forced to do that because the 17" monitor is too big to allow space for the speakers.

still, only for my bros, so who cares :laugh:

my speakers on the other hand are much nicer:

Welcome to the officially supported Gamers Setup thread. In this thread you may post pics of your gaming area, be it PC, console or any combination of the two.

If you have posted in the Post your workstation thread, I encourage you to post again here. Please be mindful of our members on dial-up and try to keep the dimensions of the pic and the size of the file to a respectable size for 1024 x 768 viewers.

I will also ask that you link to images on your own space, as much as possible. If anyone posts multiple images using the Image Attach feature of the board, they may find their posts edited or deleted entirely.

Have fun.

Great images people. Just a reminder about the rules. Try to keep the images under 1024 x 768, or link to them. Also, try to avoid quoting images. Thanks

never one to willingly sacrafice detail for filesizes,each picture viewable at either 1024x768 and 3264x2448

First up my consols. gamecube/ps2

Freepgs is going to delete my account for sure. :laugh:

My new TV arrived this morning, and seeing as I don't have a digital camera at the moment, I thought I'd improvise.

The colour is wrong, and it doesn't adjust to the brightness of the screens like I hoped it would, but here's my setup. (that wire trailing off the desk is the cam I used to film it with)

I've got mixed feelings for this set - SD content looks awful if you're any closer than about 2m away, and the black levels could be a lot better. I'd hate to play REmake / RE? on this TV! Eternal Darkness is bad enough...

HD stuff looks incredible over VGA from my Mac though. Can't wait until next-gen for HD gaming. Tempted to pick up an NTSC cube, as interlacing shows up as blur on this set. (there's no blur over VGA, but games blur with RGB SCART or Component, so I reckon that's what's causing it)

Games do look very nice if you're at a decent distance from the set though, many looking better than they did on my 28" CRT. Wind Waker looks particularly good.

In the video, from left to right:

  • Wacom Graphire3 A5 tablet.
  • GBA / DS / CD collection, OSX Software.
  • PDA is hiding away up there too.
  • Maxed out 17" Powerbook
  • 1gb iPod Shuffle
  • Samsung LE32R41B
  • AV Switch
  • PAL cube w/Gameboy Player (I think that'll be getting returned - I'm getting framerate issues in 60Hz)
  • PAL PStwo, modded for imports and RGB DVD playback. (I don't watch enough DVDs to justify buying a good player)
  • Super Famicom with Super Metroid
  • NDS, PSP
  • Grado SR-80 headphones.

*Update*

I recently finished my home theater (aka gaming area) with a modified TV stand. I wasn't going to spend $500 on the official Sony stand and Ikea furniture was garbage. I found this deal for $99 at CompUSA, removed the feet, and lowered the glass on top so that the TV was eye level from my futon. Anyway...

Television: Sony 50" Grand Wega (third generation)

Sound System: Sony 300 Watt Home Theater (Dolby Digital 5.1 & DTS)

Furniture: Bush Genesis II (modified)

Consoles: (left to right) Nintendo 64, DreamX-733 (Xbox mod), Dreamcast

Remote: Sony Remote Commander (RM-VL1000)

    • So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
