Is that the XBox360 cam MS makes? Does it work well in iChat? How does it compare to the iSight quality and framerate wise? BTW, I like your desk, are you running dual Dell 24"?

yes it is... i don't know how it compares because i use it with my 360 :p

and i've got 20" dualies

I'm re-doing a lot of stuff, including our home theater in the living room. This was more of a "demo", testing out our new projector and trying to find placement for a secondary television (32" flat screen). Good idea for football games and what not.

I show it because I sometimes hook the laptop up in the living room to the multiscreens.

Anyway, on to the main computer desk. I still have some desk mods to install and do some wire management (I got some nice lights to put as accents)

You'll notice at the top of the setup, is a 30" widescreen HD TV. I have my XBox360 hooked up to it and it runs 1080i. But this television is also used as my 4th monitor. Commonly my "media" monitor, for stuff like running shows I have on the computer or movies. For the best quality it's hooked up to my graphics card through DVI and I also use it for playing some games (they look so great on that screen)

Right below you'll see the typical dual screen layout most of you commonly have. These are my two primary monitors, 19" LCDs (All I own is LCDs, it's the way to go) this is where most of my focus is usually.

To the right, is a 20.1" widescreen monitor in portrait mode. Commonly I refer it to my "feed" monitor. It's where news and news feeds are displayed so I can stay up to date on news, tech stuff, etc..

The computer is running dual ATI Graphic Cards, one PCI, one PCIe with the latter being 128mb DDR2 and the first being 64mb of Ram. I don't do a whole lot of gaming so I don't need a lot of power, that's why I have the XBox.

Computer is a dual core 3.19Ghz with 1GB of Ram, TV Tuner card, PCMCIA card reader, and Creative 5.1 HD Surround Sound controller.

This setup does have a true 5.1 surround sound system, however it's just not spaced out, that's all.

You seriously need a new desk D:

Hehe, that really must hurt your neck.....

And having those two other monitors set in like that is just silly.

It's not as deep as it looks. From my chair setting, I can see everything perfectly. No neck hurting. I don't dedicatedly watch stuff when I'm on the computer. But if I put on a movie or play XBox I roll back some so I can take in the HD glory.

Not too much has changed, just updating for the quarter...

Looking good. (Y)

What is the product called? Is it networked?

It has onboard gigabit, wouldn't be much use having a 2TB array with no network connection :p

still the same :)

Why do you keep posting the same pics? :unsure:

img0032ho7.jpg

man, this camera is great! better than my friend's Olympus..

Anyway, from left to right..

My 3 drawer cabinet on lower left is packed with computer stuff, cables, pci cards, etc.

You see my ripper, obviously.

Standard Compaq keyboard, Blue Optical MS mouse, 2 x 17" lcds on my main system, Monster, specs in sig, and Logitech x-530 speakers.

My laptop, as in sig.

My Lexmark Z615 Printer on bottom.

The other LCD monitor, keyboard and mouse, is my test system, when I get in friend's and family computers to fix.

My Dad's system on the far right, couldn't include that in the pic. He's running on a Socket A system, soon to be upgraded to a AM2 system, while i update to C2D. He's also running on a 15" and 17" CRT. The blue Raidmax case is his chasis.

I'm planning to get shelving on the far wall. I'll repost when that gets done in a week.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
