Your sig was too large. Maximum sig size is 500x80. - Jacobkosh.
Since that pic, it has changed, though. I moved some stuff around, got new games, added a Famicom and am soon to add a Saturn.
BTW, just under the HDTV, there's a PS2. It's a slim, black PS2 on top of that black case, so it can't really be seen.
EDIT: Also, that's my first 360 on the pic. I'm at my third now.

glad to see an image on that tv in the first pic. my dad's getting one for our tv room in a few weeks.

What I lack in video games, I make up for in sheer wire count. The cable box is no longer there. The left monitor is my new computer, my right monitor is my old computer, and the TV is hooked up to it so it can play movies/shows. I have a program that lets me control both computers with one mouse/keyboard, so I can move my cursor across all three screens with no effort. That's the same TV that's hooked to my Wii. The end.
The things all the way at the top of my shelves are Pac-Man rollerskates from the 80s I got for $4 at a yard sale, maybe I'll try to get a better pic of them at some point
I need to take some updated pics anyway, so after a swim and a tidy tonight, I'll take some pictures! I do enjoy these threads because I'm a complete nosey bastard.

I have a love/hate relationship with these threads. Marriage = very difficult to assemble "man-centric" entertainment area, so while I love seeing other people setups I get very jealous.
Fucking basement needs to get finished first before I can participate.

My girlfriend is slowly (or should that be slyly) moving in, as will be evident when you see the entertainment system downstairs compared to the entertainment system upstairs, which has a giant fluffy dog sat on top of it.

Well, the only way I found to be able to have a man-centric entertainment area was to be hopelessly single. But even that isn't true anymore, since my brother now has a girlfriend who lives here and also contributes to the gaming area with posters and promotional crap.
The setup hasn't changed since the last thread, but here it is again, very conservative.
edit: Actually, it HAS changed. I forgot, my shitty Panasonic all in one home theater receiver blew out on me, giving me an excuse to by a real receiver. Got a nice little Onkyo model now.
In all honesty, the feature is mostly used so I don't have to save and quit so the girlfriend can watch Law & Order: Special Rape-Kit Unit, or Gossip Gal, or whatever bullshit people with testicles can't be bothered with.
Though I have toyed with the idea of playing Four Swords using a Gamecube + Gameboy Player and split-screen instead of a second GBA. I have a split setting that gives more screen real estate to one input over the other, without the secondary input being ridiculously small like standard PIP.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Do you not have anything better to do than shit all over this thread?
They're just jealous.
Fact is, with hardware like that, he's gonna get all the babes...

All ribbing aside, although the Logitech G15 is a smashing keyboard, it would be more interesting to see how you've integrated it onto your desk/workspace than the logitech.com-worthy close ups.
What's your optimal setup for high intensity PC-gaming?
I always enjoy these. Partly as a signal that I really need to tidy/hoover/dust up, or occasional completely change my setup.
Unfortunately I've discovered moving from one corner of my room, to the other has almost completely eliminated my wireless signal so I'll have to move everything back (except the shelves are new and don't really fit anywhere else.)

Camera doesn't seem to agree with me so its grainy, but oh well. I'm going to be getting a second 22" monitor so I can dual screen and run both EVE accounts off the same PC, instead of one on the notebook and the other on the PC.
Games and whatforth. (teddy bears ftw.)
The bottom shelf is filled with pizza boxes and a laptop bag. Yea....

Well, there technically is no "desk/workspace". See , I have the g15 hooked to a 6ft USB 2.0 extention cord, and am actually sitting about 12 feet away on my loveseat. I sit on the left side with the keyboard in my lap, while my wireless Logitech laser mouse in on a pad on the loveseat's right side. It's the most comfortable set-up ever.

Are you out of line?

I guess its not as cool as yours but on the other hand I'm a lot more awesome so it all balances out.
(winamp boo hiss)
And something I whipped up while bored one afternoon
I raise your Mario Football banner with:
Don't mind the middle school wall-hangings
Yes, my TV is on an old TV
Yes, my 360 is on DK Bongos to help it breathe
The things all the way at the top of my shelves are Pac-Man rollerskates from the 80s I got for $4 at a yard sale, maybe I'll try to get a better pic of them at some point
your computer may look pretty, but any techie can see that you make up what you're lacking for in hardware by having shiny LEDs.
if you want to impress me with a rig, come back with a picture of an off white dell computer case with ridiculous components!
most of all, most of all
someone said true love was dead
but i'm bound to fall
bound to fall for you
oh what can i do
What about a black one with more ridiculous LEDS and a few more ridiculous parts?
(XFX 680i,
E6600,
4gb Corsair XMS2 Dominator,
XFX 8800GTX)
With Elite 360, Wii and DVD player wired into the 24" Dell on the left, and the PC connected to both the 24" Dell and the 19" secondary monitor.
I've also since aquired a Razer Deathadder and Exactmat which has my mouse rug on it when I'm not gaming.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Do you not have anything better to do than shit all over this thread?
Check out my band, click the banner.
It is way more organised now, the wires are sorted, and my Xbox is there too.
Also, games rack and artwork above the TV
And my bedroom -
Here is my chair, and here is my PC.
Badass headphones bitches!

How was I shitting on his thread? I'm performing an important public service. People need to know this stuff.
It's fun to light-heartedly mock!
And I took my pictures then forgot to upload them. I'm looking at them right now on my camera at work but have absolutely no way of uploading them.
Curses.
