Out of sight is my HT sub (nothing exciting) and Epson photo-printer (again... not exciting by any stretch of the imagination!)

Hopefully soon I'll either get a work bonus or some residual student loan together and get a nice HD-TFT and an Xbox 360 Premium... My lil xbox is a bit unwell (it sometimes produces a blank screen when loading games... can hear stuff but can't see it!)

Heres my basic setup, pic was taken with phone as my camera decided to die over christmas !! , oh and i love my wired cheapo keyboard/mouse :D i've got that used to them now, gonna be changing the desk soon ( had that since my speccy 128k :p ) to the left of my desk there is a chest of drawers with my ps2/tv/stereo on but theres a gap between the two ( so i can open the drawers ) so losing a load of space going to get a corner desk, and set everything up better, and get a better tv some nice lcd thing :D as for where my clothes will go heh who knows !!

The Genius speakers are somewhat dated now, and they have a russian AC, I got them for ?2 so I wan't expecting anything amazing. I have bought some YT 5007 5-1 surround sound speakers, I bought them a month or so ago, but havn't got round to installing them. I need some minuature speaker wall mounts me thinks.

The keyboard is pretty dated as well, it's a compaq SDM45, I'm looking at the logitec G15 when I finally get round to buying a desktop system. As you can see I'm using the plantronics headphones, nice, but a little irratating around the head.

Sony W800i - great phone, havn't had any problems with it thus far, had it a year and 7 days.

And the laptops an Acer Aspire 5670, C2D 1.66, 120GB HDD, Radeon X1600 512MB, running WinXP home.

Sorry about the picture quality, they were taken with an Sony CyberShot, not the greatest cam, but I got it for free.

lmao

I love it how you cut down on spending!

?2 speakers, free camera, and a keyboard that someone threw out as soon as the purchased the Compaq.

I like the mouse though!

I have a similar one in black.

updated workstation...

changed location/desk. 360 is now to the right of the desk, on a sub.

While I love that setup, I have to urge you to take your 360 off your sub! The magnet in a sub is VERY strong and could quite easily corrupt data on your 360 hard drive (if you have one).

i was looking at a sony ericsson w810i myself.

I've never had a look at the W810i, from what I see in pictures they look sweet, I used to have the Sony T610, that phone rocked!

Some guy at school needed some lunch money, and kept pestering me saying how hungry he is, he then said he'll give me some speakers if I lend him ?2, I didn't really care what quality they were for that money, he brought the genius' in the next day, so it was alright to skip lunch for that lil bargain. At the time they were good!

And the keyboard came from a landfill site, my cousin run the computer recycling area of the campus, and theres all sorts of bit n' pieces to look at, most of the stuff is really badly damaged, but I managed to restore this Compaq. I would take all the big server cases the companys throw in there but my mum doesn't let me bring stuff back into the house.

The mouse was the latest edition, as you may have guessed, hehe.

where are your speakers?

Edit: and why don't you hook your 360 up to your TV?

Speakers are wall mounted, one in each corner.

Also, 360 was connected to my Monitor because I was able to run it at 720 HD mode. Now I have the SCART lead is is actually connected to the TV, but sits on the desk to keep it cool rather than under the TV.

Might as well post (i faintly remember posting this already, but couldnt find it, so if i have already, sorry ;) ).

Monitor: 26" HDTV (marks are from camera flash, edge of TV is shiny), desk: chrome/black glass, PC: Media Center (first machine in my sig ;) )...

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
