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. :chk:
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
Thatās 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)
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, Iāve not used it for media purposes yet, but itāll 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 designingā¦
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? Iām 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
Iām not any olderā¦ but this is all I buy.. computer stuff and games. 360 is hooked up with VGA thing, but I hate it because connector isnāt that good and the 360 doesnāt support the common 16x10 resolutions of 1680x1050 and 1440x900.
So i have the pc, I love the monitor its 19" widescreen. The laptopā¦PDAā¦Ipod (one of)
Theres also my PC that i built thats running Kubuntu thats hidden away. Its not hooked up at the moment because of lack of space. Theres also another laptop about but thats ancient. The other half uses it for internet. The internets wireless. Got the modem and router downstairs running Virgin Media (cough) 20mb << yeah right.
Oh and chucked a picture of the tv in with the ps2 and wii. Im a gadget freak!
Please ignore the carpet, waiting for laminate to be put down as theres paint everywhere
I bought it because I wanted a big computer screen and a TV - a 16:9 TV screen would have a lower resolution and isnāt as good at displaying text and PC images. That TV was a great compromise. Plus I love the fact is has so many input options
Hehe I have a few too many gadgets too, and I have Virgin Media Broadband (4Mbps) - although I only really get that speed at times, not 100% of the time.
