Gaming Setups

[Vaulter85]

Since I just upgraded my entertainment setup I thought I would share it all with you. Which made me then wonder what everyone else excercised their thumbs too in the dark. I find it interesting to see what kind of entertainment centers everyone have so I decided to start this thread for all of us to share what we game on.

So please post pictures of your tvs, gaming systems, computer rigs & give us a little tech info on it all.

I just recently upgraded my system by buying a new tv last weekend. Which is kind of the reason I decided to start the thread now. My previous tv was unworthy of this forum as well as the eyes of the forum members, lol. But now that I have a much nicer television to brag about I feel secure enough to share it with all.

I bought a Samsung 52" HD LCD 1080p Flat screen from the greatest store ever, Best Buy. I hooked up my surround sound system, which consists of a subwoofer & 2 speakers. Not that great of a system, but it was only $80 & has good enough quality. It will be upgraded eventually after I do some research on different systems.

Then I have my Halo 3 edition Xbox360 sitting to the right of the tv on my dresser. On the top right shelf of my tv stand is my PS3, which I bought a high-end gaming HD cord for as well. At least the box said it was top of the line, as well as the price of the cord.

In the picture you can see the green chest before th tv. I just wanted to point out that the chest is an authentic piece of history. It was my grandfathers chest from World War II & still has some of the stickers put on it from the different places it has been shipped.

I don't have any pictures of my Computer yet, but I will post those & its specs at another time. I look forward to seeing what you all game with! :)

Very nice. I'll get some pictures and specs of my stuff later on. Since we just moved into our house a few months back I still haven't had time to get my computer area setup the way I want it.

[Masakuni]

I run my 360 and PC through the same place at my desk. Use the same monitor and speakers for both. All I need to do is switch my monitor input.
I have two PCs both my main and one I threw together wit hsome of my and a friends extra parts for fun and to have an extra set up. My secondary has a P4 OCed to about 4GHz and a overkill 1000w PSU :D
I could get into Specs but I'll keep it short for now.

The old set-up. New set-up soon to come

[theempyrealwordsmith]

We've not had a tremendous amount of gaming going on here (go figure, it's a guy's dorm) but this is my humble setup while away from home. The only bragging rights i have are due to the Sega Genesis perched atop my Elite.

lol, I still have me Sega Genesis & my Sega cd system. But it's in the garage in a box.

[Michael Ubaldi]

My setup is. . .humble.

[Moe Power]

lol Amen, Mike.

Our's isn't anything to bat an eyelash at either......one day though...ONE DAY!!! :P

Vaulter: Soooo ummmmmm....I'll give you $10 for that TV? :D

[Seductivpancakes]

You've got a very nice table there Vaulter.

[Vaulter85]

lol Amen, Mike.

My "One Day" finally came, lol, it only took my whole overtime check is all. I am stil envious of theSwP's setup though, hopefully he will post on it.

[Jes-ka]

Oooh I cannot wait to post pics of our setups.

[Michael Ubaldi]

lol Amen, Mike.

Vaulter: Soooo ummmmmm....I'll give you $10 for that TV? :DMy "one day" is about a year away — but at least I've got it on the calendar!

[TheSwP]

Your setup IS smoking hot, Matt. And my rig is a beautiful thing, indeed. I would ALMOST trade it for your skillz, though, because having a gigantic television of 1080P-ness can't soothe the pain of getting pwnd so badly in Halo. RRRRRRRgggh. I need to stick to Gears of War, where I can chainsaw faces with reckless abandon. Anyway, I'll post pics, eventually.

lol, u were ripping me apart pretty badly with that turret on the Warthog last night. I think you're friends are a bit above my skill level, although I am pretty rusty in Halo. Hopefully I'll be as good as you in Gears of War one day. Until then I'll accepy my chainsaws to the face like a good noob should. :)

[Jes-ka]

Here is our setup.

This is the main TV.

Nearby is Chris' computer desk with the 360 we bought from BadFish & Moe.

The kitchen had a little nook, so I put my computer there.

Here is our library of games, movies, and books.

Oh snap, I forgot to take a pic of the setup in the bedroom. =\ Well, it is just a 36" tv with a 360 and an old Xbox.

Here's a cute kitty instead!

We need to fix your situation ASAP.

Jes-ka, is that an ibuypower computer in your kitchen? I case looks like my case that I got from that site. Great site.

I got that case from.... um... coolcases.com. I built that computer about 5 years ago I think.

This line made me laugh.

Just a 36" tv with a third 360 connected to it.

I think I'd have to stop at two 360's. I wouldn't be able to handle all the calls to Microsoft for repairs.

Nice setup btw. Lots of different rooms to game in. I'll see if I can get some setup pictures sometime this week. Then Chris can hisssss at the PS3. :p

P.S. Love the cat photo!

[Vaulter85]

Very nice setups Miss Jes-ka I am envious of your large computer screens. They are nice. My favorite part though is your library/collection with the Masterchief Helmet. So many games, you've got quite a collection from the look of it. Although the chair in the kitchen with no back to it, how can you sit in those? I find chairs with no back highly uncomfortable, you can't relax in them.

P.S. Cute cat

[dropK1CK_ninJA]

I'd post my gaming "setup" but I don't want to set the watermark for laughing stock in this thread.

Heh, we got the third so friends can play online with us. We also bought a third XBL account. If you see Bangoo the Cat, then someone is on our extra 360. It is sooo hard to do a split screen on those nice screens. :D

I can't and I hate that chair. I got that back when I lived in a living room during college. It fit perfectly under my desk, so it was out of the way. It has outlived its functionality, so rather than go find a new chair I just steal Chris's!!! Sooo much easier. :D

Since I moved into a new place & my system is set up differently I thought I'd post it on here. My new setup:

Ohhhh snap, is that a Lancer? We pulled ours out on Christmas and my family had a field day with it.

Your TV is muy sexay. I am super jealous of your Halo 360.

[Vaulter85]

Why thank you =) My Lancer is defective though, the sound part never worked sadly. But it still looks freakin cool. Yes I love my Halo 360, Halo 3 was the game that made me finally break down & buy an xbox, so why not get the Halo edition right?. One of my best investments ever lol.
