Xmas came early, I am such a freakin' geek.
 

Two HP-W2207 Monitors and a NVidia 8600 512mb GT Overclocked Card.

Now I can surf Firedog's websites and still answer email at the same time.

Yeah, 2 x 22" 16:10 monitors are always necessary :)
Dual screens FTMFW.

Bitch please, where's the SLI 8800GTX's?!?!

nothing wrong with that.

geeks are ok. i built four high-end head-mounted VR displays over the last week. next weekend is our big show.

they're dual LCoS SXGA near-to-eye displays with a 60 degree field of view. we'll also be showing a new product with 120ish degree FOV.

it's kinda like sitting in the first row or two of an IMAX movie, only it's on your head.

http://www.iitsec.org/ is the show. anyone in/near orlando? besides rican.

I'm in New Smyrna Beach this week, about an hour from Orlando

EDIT ~ I checked out the video on the main page. It looks like it's next week, but I'm leaving on Friday. Looks pretty cool though

I just picked up two 1tb drives from cc.com for $200 each - more space for the "media library" :D

nice. the new directv hr20-700 has an esata port to hook an external HD so you can increase your capacity.

That's smart. I hacked my tivo, then moved on to ReplayTV and finally went with the HTPC running snapstream apps. No hidef stuff yet. I'm waiting for a true digital pc (decoder/card) tuner solution. That and probably pc upgrade - something at "gamer" level I'm sure.

Right now I've got movies, music, videos, photos and dvds spanning a 500 & 250, and space is running out. I'm actually going to leave those in the htpc and set these drives up as a mirror raid NAS. I can then access it when I'm outside of the house. Will serve well for work stuff too.

And I thought my single 22" Samsung was big.. Two ought to be pretty crazy!

You arent baller until you have a dell 30" monitor. I had one for a while, I miss it so much.

I had an HP 58" 1920x1080... but it died :sadwavey: :gay: hp ftl :vash:

LOL, well I may not be a "Baller" and I don't have a mad 58 inch set, but I am pretty happy with these 22" units... Porn looks better than ever. ;) My Plasma is only a 42" and my LCD HDTV is only a 32". Somehow I manage.

I have a 37 LCD in the bedroom and a 65 RPTV in the living room. Next spring I think I'll get a 55 or 60" for the livingroom

We have a 37" LCD in our 11'x15' dorm room.

I have a 42" Panasonic plasma in my tiny living room. I love my TV. lol. My old 17" flatpanel monitor is in dire need of replacement though. At work i have a 30" Dell flatpanel. :)

LOL, This is gonna sound really sad, but I am polishing a turd here. I only have one PCIe slot in the gay little Emachines box I have. (AMD Athlon 3200+ with 2 gigs of ram.)

My mad 58" set is dead. HP bent me over weeks out of the warranty. :dancegay:

since you said the 8600 gt overclocked, i presume you mean 8600 GT XXX?
I'm gonna run two of those in tandem

I have such very little sympathy...

Of my four machines at home:

The primary machine is a socket 478 P4-2.4, 1GB, 300GB, using the on-board VGA, SND, and LAN.

The Media PC in the living room is a socket 754 Sempron 3100+, 512MB, 500GB, using on-board SND (S/PDIF) and LAN, and a $20 AGP video card (64MB GEForce 440). It's driving my 55" HDTV set (3CRT RP) through a friggin' S-video (Y/C) port, since my TV is an eight year old first-gen unit with no VGA, no HDMI, no DVI, and no Firewire. Just composite, component, and S. I've tried two different methods to try and generate a usable 480p component output from the computer, neither of which worked for shit. If anybody had a good quality VGA-Component converter or a good AGP card with a component output they want to sell, lemme know.

The tertiary machine is a POS Compaq Presario with a Celeron 2.7, 256MB, 80GB, and it doesn't have an AGP or a PCIx slot.

The CarPC is a P3-400, 128MB, 6GB, and an 800x600 display.

Pong, anyone?

Anyone have a simple 17" flat panel they want to unload? I'm still on a 15" CRT. Hurts my eyes.

haha awesome!

psyeah. i just got my first LCD monitor last month. up to then, i've been scrounging free triniton-tubed monitors from Craigslist (got a free 45lb 19" from a fellow SV owner earlier this summer)

main machine is a p-m 1.1 laptop - only 1gb of ram, 20gb hd. secondary machine is a p3 dell server w/ 768mb of ram and 4 x 9 scsi drives :bigtu:

however, i can pipe youporn onto a 72" projector screen. makes life more palatable...

I know the feeling. I did finally get a pair of 19" LCD monitors for my computer at work (there was a special from Fry's for $99 each, so I just bought 'em myself) but all my monitors at home are tubes. There's an old NEC Multisync 19" that's my main display and a pair of ancient 17" Dells that I swiped from the dumpster at work- those get moved around as needed. The only other machine I have with a "permanent" monitor is the media PC that drives the big CRT RP in the living room.

Got two of 'em (HR20s). Just added the 750GB Esata Seagate FreeAgent external. Firefold has a great price on Esata cables that work fine.

Done with modding all my DirectTivos. The HR20's are certainly nice from that standpoint.

I'm picking up a 42 inch LCD Friday for the living room. I'll probably upgrade the 110 inch 4805 projector in the basement with a 720p soon.

Damn you, technology!
