Haha yeah, trust me though if it was slightly warm in any area other than the GPU and the CPU I would move it to a better area. Don't worry though, I mean I am in Canada and it's pretty cold up here, I live in the 9th floor too so it's pretty windy thus my apartment is colder than the usual household :p.

I get what you mean about the whole carpet thing, my room is a warm room and when I put my laptop on my bed it gets pretty hot (around 60c).

You seem to be a big fan of Xbox 360 heh, If you were my neighbor I would just put the Xbox 360 at your place heh, and come over when I want to play until you get your own then we can play online =D.

I hope you get your 360 soon, do you have an HDTV?

HAHA, Like the sound of that. Plan to soon but for now my 2407 will have to do which can do 1080p so I should be fine.

Sexy. What model?

Nice, I changed my post to model # just as you posted. :laugh: That piano black is just so shiny.

:laugh: And then I changed my post to include the model name after I saw you changed your post. :rofl:

It is nice and shiny now, but if my cats have anything to say about it it, that is going to change really soon. They love going up on the ledge right by it since the TV is warm. :wacko:

Now I wish the 360 was black.

w000t!

The Simpsons! :woot:

Nice setup & nice games u got there :yes:

Thanks

That TV is so much more beautiful than mine. :cry:

Hows that TV workin out for ya? I'm think about getting the 32" one.

Not sure if you were asking me or not, but if you were, instead of writing over everything I have said, I will point you to this post in the thread I stared in the Home Theater forum in which I went into details about getting itand setting it up.

The answers I can see here is it is working out absolutely fantastic. As I stated, I have not gotten to game much at all on it since I got it in Thursday, at most an hour, but that brief time I did play, I was just blown awa. Samsung actually worked with MS for a gaming mode for this model itself. Gaming is just beautiful. Finally, although I only played with it for about 20 minutes, I can say I could not see much of a difference between 720p and 1080i.

All High Def looks great, DVD's look absolutely amazing and right now I do not even have them hooked up via HDMI, and they still look better than I imagined. Everything except the 360 in that shot was all brand new that day and hooked up on that same day. I did not realize I would need a reciever until I got the TV, so I had to go out and buy that too. Was not excepting to do that, did not want to do that, but I had to.

Seriously though I go into even more details in the link I gave you, mainly my gripes about now how normal non HD signals look really bad. Worth reading if you are interested in perhaps buying one. :yes:

That TV is so much more beautiful than mine. :cry:

No worries my man. I checked your profile and see you were born in 1990, so that means you are 16 or so right? Just think, when you are a 32 years old fart like me, hell, even sooner than that, you too can treat yourself to nice presents like this as well. And then you too can also get into debt just like I am. :rofl:

I am going to try to get some gaming on it as soon as this boxing fight I am watching is over.

Well I have a 4:3 TV as well hooked up the S-Video and I must say that it is a really nice picture. I have not seen it in HD even though my dad has one. He thinks it will burn in to easy :no:

Hey, what theme are you running? It looks more sleek than the default.

EDIT: after looking though the themes I found it, you can delete this post if you feel nesessary. Sorry =[. (For anyone else wondering its carbon)

mainly my gripes about now how normal non HD signals look really bad.

Yuh its shocking how bad SDTV looks on HDTV screen's... Stuff recorded on my media center looks naff on my 19ins LCD tv but looks fine on the 360 connected to an SDTV...

tho it works both ways, HD games look downright terrible on SDTV's(I can't really play them its so bad)

I'll post a screenie of my setup here when I get my new hdtv next week >.>

getting my XBOX 360 this week. Here is the sexy beast it will make love to and give me hours of countless orgasms.

Beastly TV in all its Glory!

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
