[OFFICIAL] Gaming Setups Thread (PC & Console)

[Sethos]

Sethos, you have to admit it seemed so sarcastic it was almost serious.

Yes, i could see the misunderstanding and for that i apologize to Ian (Y)

[.KICK]

This thread is very similar to the "Show us Your Workstation" thread...

Some people do work and game on the same computer. :o

If you used those sharp falcon eyes of yours, you'd notice i added a ":p" smiley to my original post, meaning it was probably a light hearted joke - Then he chooses to misunderstand it and get offended, plus you have to add a comment as well ( Why? ). Then I might as well act like the angry douche you're apparently making me out to be.

Yes, clearly that is the case. Because, you know, it's absolutely impossible that I was just trying to make the guy understand it's not a big deal by giving the " ;) " smiley to my original post, meaning it was a light-hearted joke. But he got offended and you chose to insult him further.

Yes, clearly you were being sarcastic the whole time. That's why you chose to act like a jerk even after he misinterpreted your post, instead of saying "I'm only kidding man, it's all good :)" or something along those lines. ;)

Alienware is a status symbol.

Agreed. And you're right, I know I could have built my own computer for cheaper and potentially better results. However I'm not THAT into gaming, here and there, but nothing I would want to update my hardware constantly to stay ahead of the curve. What's top of the line in 6 months will be better than what is now, if you have the wallet for that I salute you, however, this has been the best computer (as well as tech support!) I have owned and I am quite happy. :]

To all concerned: I wasn't offended. On the contrary I felt I was on the defense. I'd still like to know where you're finding those frame-rates as benchmark. I'd also like to know what average your talking about. Surely not the average computer user (such as dell's demographic). Perhaps the average pc gamer? Even then I find it hard to agree that there is even a way of measuring computer to income ratio.. or game requirements to amount of playing. Yadda...

For my income to computer price ratio (as a college student) this computer is far, far above my peers price tag.

Nice Set Up (Y)

[Sethos]

So guess it's time I show the messy room!

I know it's an odd placement for a speaker but it's supposed to go in the back though i have nothing for it to sit on so until i do, it gets that spot.

I got a question for you guys, where do you keep all the dvd, BR etc covers for your games and movies. The reason I am asking is I got a who box full of it and I don't know where to put it.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Most of them are in my wardrobe, the others are in drawers etc. They really are a pain in the ass.

[afusion]

Here are two of my current builds plus my gaming consoles. (Wii is on the other side of the tv)

Been sometime since I have seen a game cube!

I've posted many pictures of my "gamecube" :rofl:

What Gundam is that on top of the Antec 900?! :D

Audioboxer: Do you leave your PS3 on all the time (with the red light on) like that? Or do you actually push the on/off switch at the back of the system. I heard it's not as good for the system if it's not completely turned off (by hitting the switch at the back)

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Mine is always on standby. It doesn't make a difference to the life of the product.

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

Yeah I leave everything on standby :laugh:

Unless I'm going away for an extended period of time, then I'll unplug/turn off at the wall.

Gundam wing was my favorite.

Of course I never really watched any other, but that's what I grew up with.
