intrinity1 & magik. Both very nice setups indeed. (Y)

And I could not help but notice how you both have the Halo 3 trailer running in the background as well. :laugh:

BTW intrinity1, Welcome to Neowin. Enjoy your stay, and if you have any questions or any issues, vy all means feel free to send me a PM (private Message), as I am Your Friendly Neighborhood Gaming Forum Mod - Dirty Larry.

I may try to get a pic tomorrow but my cameras pretty poor. for now however my 360 is in my bedroom on a 24 inch Benq fp241W hooked up optically to some Z5400 Logitech speakers. The monitors sharred bt my pc also and of course they are set up so the xbox can stream off the PC. It's only a small room and I usually game from my PC chair anyway not from the bed so 24" is quite good for that.

I'm unsure how any images would turn out and my room needs a clean up 1st.

maxsquared: Looks like jesse is using Component. I presume you're using VGA?

Ye, that's right, i am using VGA... So now I see componenent is better than VGA... But I am still wanting the upscale ability...

Well have to wait until any digital form comes out then.

doesnt your dvd player you got there do upscailing??? or do you just prefer to use your xbox as your primary dvd player?

edit.. nevermind.. that was jesse's setup..

@PiracyX - nice set up there very much like mine but do you play xbox through your monitor? Because i tried with VGA cable but all the colours were messed up big time.

@Timan - that a sweet looking setup the colours match perfectly.

Hey there. Yes i play with through the monitor with the VGA cable and it works pefectly. I set the screen to 1280x1024 and games look great. I really want a new monitor :(

Not necessarily. Try calibrating your TV to get it to match the color/contrast that you're happy with. You can do wonders to picture quality with a good calibration.

Some TVs have limited calibratioin support for VGA. At least, that's what the situation is for me. I can't change the saturation so the colors will be washed out forever. I had some high saturation with component and it looked great.

Is that a system selector box on the bottom. Is so, who makes it? It looks pretty sleek.

yeah man, its made by psyclone, its called a source selector. it has all components on the back, and optical audio. the one and only thing i didnt like about my tv, is it only came with 1 component in the back. thats just not nearly enough. You can pick it up at best buy, or circuit city, i think its 100 bucks. i have my HD box, wii, and xbox 360 hooked into it. im really happy with it, it definitly did the job. i originally bought the pelican one from best buy, it was absolute ****, it made scanlines on my tv and stuff, very poor quality.

Cool, thanks man.

These suck because my only camera is the one on my phone. Anyway I didn't clean up like I said I would yesterday. I couldnt really be bothered. In amongst all the junk theres a Logitech Z5400, of which the control panel is atop the 360. Thats a 24 inch Benq FP241W. To its right is an iAudio X5 MP3 player which I'm using for audio atm since my PC's solution is less than satisfactory. The case is a Lian Li V2100B and like every great setup known to man theres a lavalamp next to the monitor.

Yeah theres a crap load of CD's, I'm currently re-ripping my collection. Those 2 piles account for 1 shelf worth of my collection. It's going to take some time.

    • 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.
