^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. ;)

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

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.

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 :)

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.
