Nice (and messy) setup you have there. What size TV is that aand is it HD?

You answered your own question :p

That's actually clean for me, well the desk anyway... The room is still quite a disaster :p

The TV is a Philips 30" and it is indeed HDTV. If I had it to do over again I would've bought a flat panel and paid a couple hundred more :(

I've got a 3 port fiber audio switch, and the pelican switcher for all the different systems. The TV doesn't look as big because of the 2405fpw sitting below it :p

This thread is good luck, I finally got 9 lives in Geometry Wars after posting :D

Edit: That's more of the form factor I should've gone with Lingwo :p

Well, here's a camera phone pic of where my 360 is now. This is an old pic from when I first moved into this apt, and as you can see there's an original XBox playing, as the 360 wasn't out yet. TV's a Sony Wega 32", and a crap Sony 5.1 system.

My 360 spends its time connected to that or my 2005FPW (when I want to see the game in HD). However, it looks good enough on this SDTV that I don't bother connecting it to my monitor very often.

EDIT: Here's an updated pic. Still poor quality. This is actually a composite of two even crappier pics (one had the TV screen show well, so I superimposed over this one).

Oh ok. That Dell Display looks mucho coolo though. :yes:

I was thinking of buying one of the newer 30" Samsung Slimfits but I was't too sure of the overall size increase I would get over my current 20" TV that I game on now.

I sit about 7 feet from the TV and I don't want most of the HD detail to miss me wether it be games or movies because i'm sitting too far from he set.

Here's mine..

Rocking an Modified XBOX with Monster GameLink HDTV Cables.. Showcasing XBMC running in HDTV 1080i!

sure its not 480i? I didn't think that the xbox could handle 1080i, buuut I could be wrong. I know it looks damn good in the project gotham skin for media center. Can't wait for XB360 skin - going to be amazing.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
