I got this 32" Sharp LCD HDTV on boxing day for my bedroom.

The "tv" stand is temporary, as it barely supports my tv. Its actually an aquarium stand, but it was the only thing I had lying around. :laugh:

This tv looks small on the pictures, but in my bedroom its HUGE. My bed is directly across from it, so I can lay down and play Gears of War every night after work. :D :D

PS: I just turned 17... not too shabby for a 17 year old.

just a couple quick pics.. moved into new house & setting everything up. luckily the stand hides the mess of cables.

i was planning on just the 360 but by chance was able to pick up a ps3 when ordering the sony tv, and a few wii's were in stock when i was grabbing the 360.

the tv is a 60" sxrd xbr2. 3 hdmi ports are already in use from the ps3,cable box, and PC running media center. both component connections in use now from the 360 & wii

holy mother of christ! :blink:

you must have been in line for days since the PS3 and the Wii came out almost back to back

nice TV too. I'm assuming you have something crazy like a 7.1 sound system to go with all of that :p

btw...I want your job ;)

haha. i love my job - work in IT and really enjoy it :)

I honestly didnt plan on picking up a ps3 (i thought it would have been impossible to find anyway, and was in no way going to wait in a line). but when i made my order for the tv at a sony store nearby, the sales person told me they had a couple ps3's in stock for "certain" customers. i couldnt resist it.

when i picked up the 360 at walmart last week i by chance picked the good time to go as they were stocking a few units of the wii onto the shelf

so far the room has the tv,box,pc,consoles. going to buy a receiver soon, and the room is prewired for 7.1 (2 front, center, 2 side, 2 rear). hopefully will have it set up soon.

My Xbox 360 is behind a door under the TV. It gets very warm, but at least it doesn't look bad.

The wooden panel over the TV slides down to hide the TV when it's not in use.

that is a nice cabinet.

wish I had the space/budget for something like that :yes:

I should be posting pix of my new 42" LCD and setup by the weekend (if Newegg ships my order by tomorrow :s)

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
