Hi all, just for a lil fun I thought I would create a Thread where you can post your computer setup and people can comment on them and you can boast etc.

Thats mine

you can see the blue case fan on the side and my wired XBOX 360 pad I use for PC games to give me an edge in games

(Best controller I have EVER had) and my awsome gaming mouse and if you look at the monitor, (I know, its a crappy Dell CRT 17", ugly as hell) You can make out I am infact on this website

hope to see the rest of your setups

That was my setup back at Uni - now I just use my laptop(s) wherever in my Dads flat as I just put a Wireless router in.

cool, is one a imac and is that an ibook drive?

Matt555 · 02-07-2007, 01:06 PM

That's a Macbook (2.0GHz Core 2 Duo, 4MB Cache, 1GB DDR2-667MHz RAM, 80GB SATA HDD, SuperDrive) and an external HDD in a media enclosure (Hitachi HDD, 500GB, 16MB Cache in an enclosure that supports AV, VGA and Composite out and control via a remote - for media playback direct through a screen without a computer)

rimmer · 02-07-2007, 03:30 PM

woah thats pretty sweet, I take it your into media purposes with computers. Wonder if anybody else is going to post their setups.

Matt555 · 02-07-2007, 03:34 PM

Well I bought the drive as I needed a single place to store my files - having multiple copies on 2 laptops was a hassle - then I saw that media drive and I liked it, I've not used it for media purposes yet, but it'll be useful for backups without a computer (media card reader on the front) for a friend too (co-designer and photographer with me)

I use my laptops for many things, not just media, my use ranges from simple Internet browsing to programming / web scripting and designing...

I'll post up a pic of mine when I get some film in my camera, I'll have to clear the desk somewhat first, it kinda acts as a second storage area.

Woah, owen, that is mental, nice 360, I got one, I take it, you plug it into that monitor using that HD VGA connector you buy when you want to play it. Lovin the laptop too, you look minted there mate.

Matt I like your LG monitor, what is it? like 2x" widescreen? I'm still on a 17" CRT here that goes to 1280x1024 @ 60Hz, as you can see above. And ya got a laptop, you people are minted! Or is it just that I am 16 and you lot are older and can afford this kind of stuff
