There are two speakers behind the xmas trees...decorator decided to block them :( Using the PGR3 theme. One of the best looking out of the bunch imo. Anyways components are:

Sony 65" XBR HDTV (720p / 1080i)

Denon AVR-3805

Samsung HD841 DVD Player

5.1 Channel In-wall Surround Speakers

Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

and all my gaming systems (older ones are on the left)

First from the UK I'm guessing, but I'm upgrading my TV in the new year to one of these.

Due to the wide angle of the shot, taken with Panoramic features of the Sony Ericsson k750i camera phone,

view my setup here.

Sound is provided by Technics 5.1 Surrond sound system, TV is a 28" Panasonic CRT EDTV.

It could be just the angle of the phone when the picture was taken, but it looks like your xbox is tipping onto its lleft side. :rofl:

Nice setup nonetheless :)

So this weekend my sub got killed by our frequent power spikes/brown-outs which have been happening lately. Although Klipsch probably would replace it, I instead decided to start the planned upgrade of my speakers with the sub - and replaced the ProMedia Ultra sub with a Klipsch Synergy 12" - I'll have to take some updated pics at some point :)

That sucks. If you have a surge protector from a decent company, they should pay for your new equipment under their warranty.

Yeah it was plugged directly into the wall =/ Won't make that mistake again.

The computers are both plugged into a UPS and everything else is surge protected. I'd meant to get one to the subwoofer but apparently it slipped my mind, until it was too late. I should've known better since I'd had a sub/amp combo go bad from something similar before.

Don't make the same mistake!

damn esco, this is the reason Money can create happiness.

can i come over?

sure! :laugh:

anyways, i'll be posting a new picture of the setup next week. I ordered some nice a/v racks for all my equipment + wireless NES and wireless SNES controllers :woot:

I have NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, N64, Nintendo Gamecube, PS, PS2, Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advanced, Gameboy SP, Nintendo DS, and Dreamcast (which I am proud to say I am VERY unhappy with... :| )

I've been thinking about piling them all up and taking a pic for a sig or something...

EDIT: Oh and by the way, esco, I can see you've got a Gamecube set up there...heh...I'm not a big fan of XBOX, although it does have quite a few nice titles. I also like the design of the 360...very slick.

    • 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.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
