Notice the Nyko Intercooler in the basket on the floor to the right.

Took it off as soon as I read a thread that was started here about it.

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!

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
