Wow.. very nice man, where did you get the furniture?

Thanks; it was Ikea, of all places. The unit with my TV is two "Oppli" units that have been modified to stack together. (locks together as if it was supposed to be like that)
Iam going to have to seal some stuff from you...

:laugh:

I've now got a 250gig PVR in there, and a couple of Guitar Hero guitars, but I've still not found a decent tripod, so I've not got pics yet.

He! He! .. look at mine ...

Isn't it really uncomfortable to sit cross legged on your bed when you're using the PC?

Here's my setup

My PS2 and PSP along with all my PS2 and PSP games, and some PSone games. Running MGS3 and Metal Gear Ac!d

WhiteZombie, my Mac (or Macalac as the missus calls it)

TheOffspring, my main box with Windows XP on it

146437766_1bd0637798.jpg

Soulfly, the Linux server-esq box with Ubuntu on it. Still in tesitng though

My actual desktop showing Mac with OSX Tiger running and the Windows XP PC playing Final Fantasy XI.

I got the Win and Linux boxes running through the one TFT, mouse and keyboard through a KVM switch, which is amazing.

Though, my speaker system only connects to TheOffspring at the moment, am working with a wire solution to get it working with the mac as well and maybe Soulfly.

Saving up for a new graphics card and TFT to dual-screen my desktop as I am getting into more arty web design with Windows now.

Part of my CD collection for show and my crappy little guitar. Just for show

i like your mousepad

Cheers, been thinking of getting rid of it as it's supposed to be used as USB hub, but I don't use them due to the only extra devices being my PSP going in there, and it's better to have a direct connection.

Could get a custom mouse pad though using my avatar!

I know .. thats why i got a wireless keyboard / mouse .... i generally stack up to pillows .. laydown .. be comfortable and use my pc ....

ahh, here we go another smug person (like I haven't heard this before).... I have a custom built PC I put together myself, and let me tell you neither you nor I can build a PC like Alienware, FNW, or Voodoo. I don't care about saving a few dollars here and there. besides the top builders get there parts way before Newegg. "we mach what we don't have" :p

Ruuurgh, I want to take a pic of my gaming area. >.<

Got sooooo many controllers right now, got my 360 just recently... and so many, many empty cola bottles. ;D

Plus of course my trusty NES that NEVER gets stowed away. It's even been halfway across the country on a little trip with me.

Oh, and I'm thinking of buying a 38" LCD TV with DVI and SCART + some other crap input. Too bad it only goes to something like 1300x1000 or whatever, can't really use it for a monitor. Oh well.

    • It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?
    • 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.
