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

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)

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
