My living room setup of gaming. Had to move the 360 from the shelf below the TV as the heat was getting too much for the DVD player. So I've now got the ultimate taboo of a PS3 next to a 360.

Wolfie Zero, nice setup, what size is that TV, and how much was it? Nice entertainment stand too, where did you get that?

I can give you links.

Sense 32" HD Ready LCD TV Digital Freeview 1366x768 500cd/m2 800:1 HDMIx2/PC

- ?299.99

- http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134824

I think that's the one, very good TV, no issues with it (built-in free view is a god send as my area gets crap reception!). Has been confused with a ?1000 TV a friend bought as was ****ed when he found out how much I paid!

I can't find the TV unit, but I got it from Argos for around ?40-50. Ikea sell the exact same one (dunno if they do the Beech finish) as well so have a look round.

My camera sucks, but heres my setup. You can still see most of the stuff...

I couldn't be bothered to tidy up :p

There should also be a 360 in there, but its in its box atm since it went to a LAN party and hasn't been played since :p

Its nice having foobar on one screen and the PS3/360 on another, and because of the creature speakers I can listen to music while gaming pretty easily. That way I don't have to worry about networking sharing and stuff to get my music library playable on the consoles.

    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      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!
    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      By cooky560 · Posted

      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.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
