^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:

Here's mine...pretty much the same as the workstation thread heh, you can spot the Xbox 360 in the corner.

Wow how many brand names is that monitor in. The exact same one is a "Proview" in Canada. LOL!

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. ;)

[GameOverRob]

^ Love the faceplate. Where'd you get it from?

I picked one of them up for free the other day in virgin

[bts0uth]

Here is my set-up.

52' RCA HDTV

Idk why the yellow line going through the tv is there. Cam sucks

(btw: the little blue and red things in the floor are for my dogs. they are called kongs, they have peanut butter in em' lol)

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.

[neoadorable]

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!

[neoadorable]

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.

[spenser.d]

I think if I get offered a bigger student loan next year, I'll go for a nice setup. I figure I'm goin to college to be able to pay off my debt, and I may be in college for quite a while, so I may as well enjoy it.

I guess I'll join in on the fun. I posted my HDTV setup a long time ago in another thread. Well here is the rig I'm usually playing 360 on now.

indeed, and he's showing courage by buying the core system.

PREMIUM BOY! LMAO :rofl:

btw upgrade to WMP 11 for God's sake!

[Meshuggah]

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:

[dnast]

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

[sambrentnall]

Meshuggah Can i ask what theme that is

[MrAlday]

Meshuggah Can i ask what theme that is

It looks like the GoW Emergence Day theme

[Remysaus]

i could clearly see the assault rifle on that pic, it must be the halo 3 tv commercial (CGI) theme.

[jerzdawg]

nice tv

Thanks... i barely ever get to actually play the 360 on it though.... .

My setup

[TheFlusher]

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

[spenser.d]

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.
