cool, although i doubt you've got them in the same dodgy arrangement. was forced to do that because the 17" monitor is too big to allow space for the speakers.

still, only for my bros, so who cares :laugh:

my speakers on the other hand are much nicer:

Welcome to the officially supported Gamers Setup thread. In this thread you may post pics of your gaming area, be it PC, console or any combination of the two.

If you have posted in the Post your workstation thread, I encourage you to post again here. Please be mindful of our members on dial-up and try to keep the dimensions of the pic and the size of the file to a respectable size for 1024 x 768 viewers.

I will also ask that you link to images on your own space, as much as possible. If anyone posts multiple images using the Image Attach feature of the board, they may find their posts edited or deleted entirely.

Have fun.

Great images people. Just a reminder about the rules. Try to keep the images under 1024 x 768, or link to them. Also, try to avoid quoting images. Thanks

never one to willingly sacrafice detail for filesizes,each picture viewable at either 1024x768 and 3264x2448

Freepgs is going to delete my account for sure. :laugh:

looking back it seems i forgot to turn on noise reduction, oh well. probably could of got better shots without the flash too. :rofl:

My new TV arrived this morning, and seeing as I don't have a digital camera at the moment, I thought I'd improvise.

The colour is wrong, and it doesn't adjust to the brightness of the screens like I hoped it would, but here's my setup. (that wire trailing off the desk is the cam I used to film it with)

http://frazmal.com/andrewfee/setups/setup.mp4

I've got mixed feelings for this set - SD content looks awful if you're any closer than about 2m away, and the black levels could be a lot better. I'd hate to play REmake / RE? on this TV! Eternal Darkness is bad enough...

HD stuff looks incredible over VGA from my Mac though. Can't wait until next-gen for HD gaming. Tempted to pick up an NTSC cube, as interlacing shows up as blur on this set. (there's no blur over VGA, but games blur with RGB SCART or Component, so I reckon that's what's causing it)

Games do look very nice if you're at a decent distance from the set though, many looking better than they did on my 28" CRT. Wind Waker looks particularly good.

In the video, from left to right:

  • Wacom Graphire3 A5 tablet.
  • GBA / DS / CD collection, OSX Software.
  • PDA is hiding away up there too.
  • Maxed out 17" Powerbook
  • 1gb iPod Shuffle
  • Samsung LE32R41B
  • AV Switch
  • PAL cube w/Gameboy Player (I think that'll be getting returned - I'm getting framerate issues in 60Hz)
  • PAL PStwo, modded for imports and RGB DVD playback. (I don't watch enough DVDs to justify buying a good player)
  • Super Famicom with Super Metroid
  • NDS, PSP
  • Grado SR-80 headphones.

*Update*

I recently finished my home theater (aka gaming area) with a modified TV stand. I wasn't going to spend $500 on the official Sony stand and Ikea furniture was garbage. I found this deal for $99 at CompUSA, removed the feet, and lowered the glass on top so that the TV was eye level from my futon. Anyway...

Television: Sony 50" Grand Wega (third generation)

Sound System: Sony 300 Watt Home Theater (Dolby Digital 5.1 & DTS)

Furniture: Bush Genesis II (modified)

Consoles: (left to right) Nintendo 64, DreamX-733 (Xbox mod), Dreamcast

Remote: Sony Remote Commander (RM-VL1000)

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 release notes: Added added a Global Settings checkbox for ForceBoxDocs under Program Control > Force Process Options Changed disabled rich text acceptance in 'Edit ini Section' baa6968 extended completion system with context-aware filtering, improved INI key resolution, regex updates, and tooltip placement enhancements 6db2a04 Fixed fixed crash in VMware when running inside sandbox caused by NtQueryDirectoryObject hook returning non-null-terminated strings and uninitialized padding bytes in OBJECT_DIRECTORY_INFORMATION structures, which caused QueryDosDeviceW to crash in wcscmp #5390 Add short-name fallback cache and heuristics #5404 fixed addon setup not working introduced in a recent build fixed Starting from version 1.17.4, using the 'Sandbox with Data Protection' type box causes PowerShell to wait indefinitely, while there is no such bug with other types. #5408 fixed Importing encrypted box no longer creates encrypted image in v1.17.6 #5399 fixed EditorSettings fuzzy matching not applied, showing few/no completion entries, and table cell highlighting not updating fixed Error enumerating and deleting folder. #5406 fixed black box import/export when 'ProtectAdminOnly=y' (default) and SandMan does not run as admin Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.3 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.2 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.2 changelog: Fixes a crash when starting the graphical interface without a display on Linux Fixes MP3 metadata encoding and ID3 tag writing issues on Windows Fixes a crash when loading audio with autosave enabled on Windows user paths containing non-ASCII characters Fixes a freeze when batch-processing more than 5 files with a 64-bit VST plugin Fixes some conditions in audio mixer Fixes loudness statistics for surround files and Short-Term Maximum Loudness accuracy Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • You get the latest James Bond game free with this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti deal all for $330 by Sayan Sen Last week released its Radeon RX 9070 GRE 1440p gaming GPU for $549 (check our review here). If you can find it for that price, it's a decent deal. However in case you want to do 1080p gaming and don't want to spend much more than $300, then the MSI Ventus 3X GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is a great option as it's currently on sale for just $330 thanks to a coupon (purchase link under the specs table down below). With this you will get close to around 80% of the GRE's performance at a much lower price. The Ventus 3X line is known for its straightforward design. Here, MSI uses three of its TORX 5.0 axial fan systems, where linked fan blades are intended to stabilise airflow and maintain consistent cooling. A metal backplate with cutouts should help with heat dissipation while also reinforcing the card’s structure. The card’s shroud design is kept neutral in appearance, so it can blend into a wide range of builds without drawing attention. The technical specifications of the MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX 5060 Ti 8GB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Name G506T-8V3C Interface PCI Express® Gen 5 x16 (uses x8) Core Clock (Extreme Performance) 2617 MHz (via MSI Center) Core Clock (Boost) 2602 MHz CUDA Cores 4608 Memory Speed 28 Gbps Memory Capacity 8GB GDDR7 Memory Bus 128-bit Display Outputs 3 × DisplayPort 2.1b 1 × HDMI 2.1b (up to 4K 480Hz or 8K 120Hz with DSC, Gaming VRR, HDR) HDCP Support Yes Power Consumption 180 W Power Connector 1 × 8-pin Recommended PSU 600 W Card Dimensions 304 × 121 × 44 mm Maximum Displays 4 Maximum Digital Resolution 7680 × 4320 Get it at the link below: MSI Ventus 3X OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB GDDR7 (G506T-8V3C) + free 007 First Light (our review) bundle: $329.99 (with $50 promo code) (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
