i must not have been clear......sorry......im wanting to basicly make a media center.....my graphics card does support dvi but im thinking big

ive seen an acer monitor thats a 19inch wide screen for 175, how naff is it going to be?

im thinking about maybe a 32inch or maybe 42 depending on price tft to use as tv and do away with my 22inch monitor and tv in my room.

as for the turntables...i want to "cash in" before its too late. i could get them anytime but ive come to the realisation that there like a 40 yearold buying starwars figures due to missing out as a young 'en. i dont need them and there an impractical waste of money

Here's mine. Normally I have my dual moniters on my desk, but lately I've been moving my main one to the floor sometimes and using the 2nd one just for foobar. That's 2 keyboards hooked up to it, redudnant I know. Blue LAN cable going out my window, down a story, into my dining room window, across two rooms and into a router. That's ghetto right there :D

You can see various other things, my Nintendo DS with Mario 64 and FFIV in it, my new Edgar Poe book, my hookah and waterbong, iriver etc. I'm quite comfortable in this room. I know it's unorganized, but it is clean. There's a difference. ;) I like my room how it is, many of the ones I see in this thread are far too sterile fo rmy liking. I enjoy having my walls crudely painted in black, then covered in various spray paintings. Stuff like that. :D

Why do you have such large speakers on your desktop? Hard of hearing? Can't imagine why you would want speakers so close to your ears...

id presume so he can have them on at a lower volume, yet be able to hear the music as well without pi**ing off the rest of his house?

he should have just gone for headphones tho

I really like that hotel style room ... congratz man. God wish my room was like that.

I lack the skills to design it and build it myself. Come to think of it ... I lack alot of skills :D

i think i have seen that acer monitor too. if i remember rightly its not true widescreen, its ratio is 16:10 and it should be 16:9. So it has a rather random resolution.

in general samsung is a great make for lcds though. try viewsonic and dell as well.

as for the tv, i think panasonic, lg and samsung are the main makes i have seen on here. also phillips are realy well priced in the uk.

i would probably getter a better gfx card anyways... it would pay off with super slick graphics

I think all WS monitors are 16:10. 16:9 is just for TVs.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By grunger106 · Posted

      The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.

      Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
