both my PC and console + tv surround sound set up

I'm still waiting on a Wii also.

I'm starting to see Wii on stores, I saw some today, but I just bought a PS3 2 days ago. I'm going to wait a little, I cant play all games at th same time hehe.

Redid my setup yesterday, made it so all the cables are hidden boy was that fun.

The 360 was the hardest to setup, hiding its damn power brick then its crappy ass component cables.

That setup is awsome I really like Tv Unit any possible of way of getting it in the UK ?

ok... time to show off my stuff.

The TV is new (got it on Monday) and the A/V receiver is also new. We had a DVR box all the time, but just upgraded to HD service 'cause of the TV.

The remote on the couch is a Harmony 360 (see my review for this item here)

The way all men should watch TV... stadium seating

We have 2 sofas and 2 love seats (in the back of the pic). Stadium seating is really when a lot of people are watching a movie. We are currently 4 guys in my place.. and if we all have somebody over at the same time.. that's 8, so we need the seating space

Did some reorganizing of my stuff and bought a new media stand to clean it up and bring some components off the bottom shelf under my TV where the remote wasn't reaching too well.

Still got a little bit of additional wire-hiding to do but it's definitely better than it used to be.

Heres my half complete room, going to be getting a 32" samsung LCD for end of bed powering my powerbook at xbox360 also getting my lighting and hopefully the blinds automated through a harmony remote.

Heres the end of my bed with is now my computer desk as well as media station.

Here is my brand new setup. I had a 50 inch Projection TV that lasted me 5 years and on Christmas day my tv went out. I was watching some cable and out of nowere the tv goes black! I think its a black out and nope just my tv. So now that I got a huge tax return I decided to get myself something nice. I will take better pictures tomorrow. I still havent networked everything to work with my notebook and havent added my tivo. That stand to the left of you is were the tv is supose to go but im missing some screws =( so I hope to find them in home depo this weekend.

    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
