Have to post these goodies on every forum I frequent... Set up my new toys last night! :biggrin:

These things rock. And it's neat having space on a desk now, since this desk can hold these (they're about 25% the weight of my old 20" CRTs despite actually being 1" bigger in viewable size)... I call it... the "wall of awesome."

Now if only I had time to play around with the wacom...

Game is my copy of Brothers in Arms I picked up that afternoon and hadn't installed yet.

PC:

Athlon XP 3200+
1 GB PC3200 DDR
Radeon 9800

Need to get rid of that 9800 now... The pixelation in non-native resolution games (i.e. running anything at less than 1600x1200) is a little more noticeable now... So will just have to make sure I've got the power to max everything out to 1600 :smile:

Big fan of Dell?

I can tell you have a profession in art


That desk is really nice. Where'd you get it? (a.k.a. brand)

I miss my desk. Right now I have my computer set up as an "entertainment center". This means, I sit at the end of my bed typing away on the keyboard which sits on a piece of wood which is sitting on a vertical Office Depot file box.
I miss my chair too ($200, real soft leather ... :sad: )

Oh yeah .. the monitors are alright. If a flat panel TFT displays in 1600x1200 (showing the entire screen) then it's good in my book :smile:

2 things.

1) i take it the pc on the floor, not the one on the desk is the big guy :smile:

2) why the ancient hexen? at least put hexen 1 on because 2 sucked.

/notices.. specs are slightly lower than mine.. /me doesn't feel like a complete n00b anymore.

Andrew, when/if you get rid of the 9800, i need a second one for my old system.. quote me a price before you toss it please.

Space that you seem to have quickly filled up with clutter :biggrin: Nice
looking setup you have there though - my dual monitor setup is less
than ideal, having one 19" CRT and one 17" CRT :sad:

Shame about the naff keyboard! (and no I don't care if it's mechanical or some ?ber-expensive Amiga emulator with a disk drive in the side for nostalgia purposes :razz: )

Is that a map layout, I see underneath the plastic cover, on your Wacom?

Odd how you have all that kickass technology and yet you still use VHS.

Edit: If this is how his comp desk looks I'd like to see the rest of his house. :eek:

heh, no, still the default image :razz: Had some... troubles... prying that off... was afraid I was going to break the damned thing! it remains for now.

I wasn't aware miniDV qualified as VHS, either, and the thing's got some pretty killer digital capacity if I'd get off my ass and get a bigger card than the 8 meg dinky thing that came with it :razz:

I can't wait until everything goes wireless. Until you plug one thing in your computer and one thing in an outlet and BAMB you're done. Looks like you could use that too :wink: The only thing with a lot of wires is it's hell going to a LAN party.

Looks nice, probably less cluttered than it looks.
