^You could use your CRT as your monitor and get HD. ;)

True bro, but my friends come ofter often and we need all the space we can get. We'd rather play on a bed, look at a nice big screen, and hear some explosive sounds coming from the speakers. Crowding around a dingy '17 monitor and listening to some dingy 2.1 speakers wouldn't make much sense.

And I guess if you do hook it up to your montor, it's techinically HDTV, but on a tiny 17 inch? I see no difference, I don't see HD. Now if it's on a sleek 32+ inch screen, now THAT'S HD, no wait, it's not HD, it's an orgasm to your eyes. :laugh:

set your pc's resolution to the lowest possible, that's SDTV, now turn it back up to the highest res., that's HD

very big difference with a normal tv imo.

Have you ever tried playing split screen on a 17" monitor? Not fun. ;)

Here is my set-up.

52' RCA HDTV

I just got the wireless headset a few days ago. Working pretty good for me. I only have 5 games but i'm doubling that this weekend!

I'm a PC gamer too man. I've played in all resolutions. Still doesn't change the size of the monitor.

Just recently upgraded from a '13 to a '27. My friends parents upgraded to HDTV and didn't need their '27 anymore. They sold it to me for just $50. I'm really glad I bought this, I mean it's not HDTV, but for a 17-year old guy who's counting his dollars, this is one of the best things I could buy.

i like your setups, they're from the real world.

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.

finally the lair of the smigit is revealed!

Here's my setup :D

nice one magik! got a love lounge feel to it.

I win. I'm an 18 year old counting my dollars aswell, 32" LCD HDTV FTW! However, as a comission salesmen, I do make good money, more than average 18 year olds make. Usually around $35/hr. Ok nvm Im not counting my dollars. Damn I should have went 50"!

Next up, Harmon Karden receiver! Wooo!

Here is my brand new setup.

It is literally just two days old. :punk:

Unfortunately, I have not been able to play more than an hour yet. :(

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.

hahahaha Larry nice to see how you roll. took me a while to find your 360, almost like Waldo there for a second.

regarding the core...i bought it off a dude that bought the core + wireless controller, HD cables and HDD with 4 games back last december for $400 dollars. So beat that deal! :D

Regarding WMP11, yeah...I have WMP 11...This however is my all in one WINAMP skin.... :devil:

Yeah, I have to say that that is one hardcore-looking setup, Meshuggah. :) Looks like the set of some "hacker" movie. :laugh:

The Jersey trio have impressed me the most so far. (Y) Almost makes me want to move there. Houses come with nice HDTVs there, right? :p

jerzdawg,

I absolutely love the tv stand..wonder where can I find it or which store is it from?

Nice tv setup by the way :)

thanks.. its actually from Ikea... it was 2 years ago but it was one of their common things..so they should still have it... plus it was only $99 iirc

It looks like the GoW Emergence Day theme

Nope. It's a Halo 3 Theme...I think it's customized though, not one that you actually get off the MP. The GoW Theme has the text "I played on Emergence Day 11/12/06" (or something like that) bottom center.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
