Here's where the snake coils up to play some CS. My wife is pissed I'm posting this because of the mess. Also, notice Big Brothers favorite desk with the calm soothing ivy painted on. When I ever get me a real comp desk I'm freighting this to you Scott. Also, the I thought you'd be a little taller comment is Soo damn funny, I just can't stop laughing, damn that was funny, way to go redrum.

I can't afford a desk, so I play on the floor with my l33t Toshiba Satellite 486! It's harder to play now that the pointy thingy in the keyboard broke off, and the warranty expired in 1998, so I can't get a new one. :(

madmax, on that desk beside your computer is that your subwoofer? if so, put that thing on the floor either at your feet or on the floor right behind your pc, anywhere as long as its on the floor you wouldnt believe the difference it makes

LA_MERC_MadMAX
December 11th, 2002, 09:16 AM
yeah it's a sub, but i keep it up there (i'd prefer it on the floor too) - because we have hardwood floors all over the house and the sound from the sub GOES all over the house (small house)...lol...it annoy's others watching TV and such, also, I'm using headphones most of the time anyways...

Lt. - is it hard to get use to the double screen? Most of the programmers here use the double screen, I'm just not use to it. I'm still using the single but just curious.

Lt.Dan
April 1st, 2004, 01:18 PM
Its not hard to get use to, this is why. You can set it up to do what is called dual view or span. The pic I posted above of my desktop is called span, where the computer thinks that both monitors are one so the rez instead of being 1024 X 768, it is 2024 X 768. Or you can do dual view where your computer just thinks there are two monitors, this is a much more stable view mode. On both modes you can still drag things from one screen to the next, or have icons on one screen and not the other, but on span you can drag them half way across the screen there is no middle point.

Here is a pic of dual view. As you can see Steam is open on screen 1, but the friend and game boxes are open on monitor 2 :)

No, its an LCD screen. Its got a HIGH resolution on it. I love the thing, NEVER going back to small screens again :P. The other thing i love about it is that its big, but its really slim, so i can put it on my desk ,but i still have alot of room left, alot more than a CRT screen.

It's both, Monitor VGA Outlet and TV outlet. 1360X768 RES. is what it's at now and it's crystal clear.

that resolution means it is a tv, to answer the question they asked, it is not a monitor with that resolution.
that is all they were asking acid, but with that bad of a photo, what did ya expect, do not get all offended, no one is cracking on ya, except the norm of what we do to keep everyone in check :) Do you know what Andy's head would be if we did not keep em in check.

No, its not just one. Its both, im running television on one half, and im playing WOW on the other half. It has PIP, ones running with VGA at 1360x730 and the TV part is running on whatever the hell it feels like running on. So, it's not just one type of screen, Its a Multi-Sexy screen.

i was thinking the same thing. it looks the same size as my tower, just short and fatter, haha.

It is smaller than my Full Size Tower so IMO it is portable! :D

When I go to visit my Bud in San Antonio I can throw it in the truck and not take up too much room. And next time I have to Evac it and my Flat panel will fit nicely in said truck. Just where ever I end up has to have high speed! :D

Lol. I consider my big ass antec dragon case portable. I mean. I can carry it. Its big and heavy but it still is moveable, lol. I was thinking the same thing Toby. My first reply was , DAMN I HATE TO THE NON-PORTABLE ONE!

So skitz......that box is a little large for packin'? I am ordering my box Friday so it can go to paint right away. I am becoming frantic and I don't know why. I never had a good comp, or ambition to have one until I met all yous fo0ls. I will get pics of the paint job up when it gets done. Still T - 2 wks for parts order.

skits,

so that thing is done...then you can play bf2 again right? it looks cool as heck, but is the only difference from a tower its portability?

ok ok another question from uber delete's protege....so if i go ahead and build a new computer in the future, should i build a "box", or is just a tower cool? What are the benefits of both?

teach me of wise ones, teach!

thread nub not post :p:
a tower is still the way to go, the portable "lan" computers are gaining in popularity, but the mid tower case is still the popular choice. Falcon computers made this popular with their "fragbox".
and all the other gaming computer makers are following suit.

Does that box come with it's own handcart? Is that why it's portable?

LA_MERC_Skitsvelvet
January 30th, 2006, 01:11 PM
It really depends on what you want. I have had Small Form Factor cases, Mid Towers, and Full size Tower cases. How much room do you have? What do you want to put in it?

I have seen a couple of mods where people took the same case as mine and setup a liquid cooled system all internal. Granted there is hardly no room left in the box but hey it looks cool.

Yes I can now rejoin my brothers in BF2 again. Benefits of say a full or mid size case could be more internal space, SLI configuration, more add-ons... Of course I am running an Intel chipset but most of the Boy's and Girl's around here run AMD's. I would have liked to have a SLI setup but it was something that just didn't fit in my budget. From what I have seen so far I am pleased with my new pc except for the 420 Watt PSU that came with the case that needed to be replaced with a higher wattage PSU. I still need to take some pictures of it lit up at night. Lighting the case was relatively cheap and accomplished with nice results. I may pick up another 4" UV cold Cathode light for it later but for right now it is okay. I also have a little bit more cable management to do to make it look really clean on the inside.

Compared to my older computer I have, this case is half the size and weight so in my eyes it is more portable than the other. The only thing that really sucks is that the "spare desk" I have to use is really small.

Dirge, I actually did think about putting casters on it or build some sort of wheeled cart to sit it on. I could probably attach it to say a luggage cart..... Put some heavy duty casters on it, reinforce the case, attach a seat to the top and Whola! we could have a Micro ATX Cart Race at the next LAN!!!!!

Right now Im working on my home theater system. I bought a 32" Samsung LCD a couple months back and just last week I got the HDDVD add on for the 360. The hddvd picture is absolutely amazing.

Just in case anyone would like to know, the HDDVD drive uses a standard USB cable to plug into the back of the 360 and apparently, it plugs into the back of a computer and needs no drivers to be used as an HDDVD player for any computer that can support HD picture output.

I will be up to a 4GB 5970 Eyefinity 6 as soon as they launch. I do want 6 22" in 3x2 config.

Yea, if your like me your just use to it. I thought my new machine was quite compared to my old box... The one above your post. But it turned out my old box was so noisy that any improvement was quiet compared to what I had. I use to run a AMD socket A overclocked with a thermaltake cooler running wide open to keep it cool. It sounded like a little turbine running on the floor.

That's got to be the fastest machine around (that I know of). Not only do you have a Velociraptor, but it's the slower of your two drives. Of course the Trio of GTX470s top it off. I'll bet the heat is pretty significant because when my 9800GT is going full speed, I can feel it. Don't even want think about your rig. You must a half ton AC unit just for that room.

Like I said before.... dang!

Doesnt stop Wetzny and Baco from killing me over and over and over and over and...well, you get it.

its not all that, but it does let me run Battlefield on all the highest graphics settings!

It is quite the little heater, that small room has one air vent in the ceiling, and the room is cold if the door is closed and the pc is off, but after about an hour of BF:BC2, it is plain 'ol hot in there....Wife makes me put it in sleep mode when I am not using it!:violin
