[OFFICIAL] Gaming Setups Thread (PC & Console)

I'm trying to decide if I should get a couple of Play and Charge kits or some rechargable batteries. I have four controllers, so I figure 2 play and charge kits and 2 more Xbox 360 Wireless Controller batteries should suffice, but maybe a bunch of rechargable AA batteries would be more cost effective?

Just use regular batteries. No need to deal with all the recharging stuff. You can get, like, a 24 pack of AA batteries for something ridiculously cheap at a place like Sam's Club. That's what I did with my Wavebirds on my GC, and that worked fine.

I was thinking the same thing about the play and charge kits...

Right now I have two controllers both with the rechargable batterys, and one play and charge kit...

So when I get the other two controllers I'll buy one play and charge kit and one battery...

I think thats the best way to do it...

OOOolllaaalalala

360 is hidden shiftyninja.gif

TV is fricckin huge...

Parents dont know I blew my college fund money on the 360 lol

Since my mom got a new job...we are officially in the top 15% of highest earning families (aka rich)

W00t.

uhh that tv doesn't look that big, it's bigger than mine but nothing compared to most of these...

and thanks for letting us know about your MOMs personal finances...

Im just excited for us :) Not too much to worry regarding college etc. And this thing is huge, as in depth. I was expecting it to be much skinnier. Emphasis on the much.

Im assuming your being rude since your jealous, or you like being a jerk.

yeah mines like that, about 21inches from front to back, but then again, mines an early 32inch flat CRT

*drools*

Nice setup, I've got a 34 inch SOny CRT widescreen. It looks great but my couch just broke and I had to throw it away, so now i am playing on the floor until Crate and Barrel sends a new one in a month.

thats a really nice setup...well done

Bits are...

Sony HS10 HD PJ ( A Sanyo Z4 on paper would murder my pj and costs about ?1150 - 9ft screen anyone?;)) )

DSPA1 amp.

B&W Speakers all round.

Sweet. Gotta love samsung.

How bright is the unit?

And is that 26 inch? or 30? I cant tell from the pic...maybe its a 34 heh

Not a gamecube fan?

it's actually a 30 inch and the picture quality is quite superb....very bright as well. i actually am a gamecube fan...but i recently removed it to make room for the x360...hehe.

Guy with the samsung and 5500 setup, I have a question for you.

Do you have digital sound through all your consoles? I'm with a similiar setup and as the z-5500's only have 1 optical connection, i'm kind of screwed. I've been thinking a cheap reciever will do the trick, what do you think?

yea i guess you can get a receiver...i personally don't have the space to fit one in my setup. all i simply do is switch the optical cable to whichever console i play...they're all close together and easily accessible, so it's not a problem for me.

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
