Well, It's been a while since we've had one of these, and seeing as I've just bought myself a new 32 inch LCD I felt the need to show off, and also pinch any ideas people have with their own set ups (And my address will NOT be given out!)

The new monitor (32" LG L3200TFK WideScreen LCD Monitor TV Tuner) set me back $2200 from Computer Alliance yesterday. I swear you've never seen WOW being played until you've seen it on a big screen. Earlier today Rev Evil and myself found the same system down at Clive Peters for $2800 (I would have cried if it was cheaper).

Hmmm Strider

how many hands/arms do you have? i can only use one computer at once.

Please sire tell me why in gods name you would need more than 2 monitors? hax0ring the mainframe? look pimped anyways :)

Hi Tanaka,

I notice you had two keyboards and mice. Assuming you only want 1 person sitting and controlling both, I recommend a piece of software called Synergy that lets you use two PCs with the one keyboard and mouse, over the network. It feels like you've got dual-monitor mode on (move the mouse off one screen to the other machine).

Anyway, nice setup.

lol you got to much money dude. no need for all them PCs, 2 is enough. seriously though kick ass set up you got.

um ok

$2200 monitor yet you cant afford some new mouse pads... seriously get some new ones.

i see the lube bottle peaking out of your second draw scuzzy. :p

LOL, yea shad but I'm very picky about the mouse pads I use, and have not been able to find any decent new ones. I actually have another 2 keyboards stashed above the video/DVD combo unit (you can just see them protruding in the 3rd pic above the knife). I have 4 pc's and 3 lap tops set up here (2 other lap tops away on loan to my father). I use 2 of them when 2 boxing WOW, a third for watching movies while I play and a 4th to do random surfing/QGL flaming. I might have a look at that program you suggested parabol, room is a precious commodity on my desk, especially with my new toy =)

hey tanaka, dont suppose you wanna tell me where you got those backgrounds? they are pretty sweet and would like to use em myself.

i see the lube bottle peaking out of your second draw scuzzy. :p

It's not kept on that side of the room.

http://www.themexp.org/listings.php?type=vs&view=date

You need to use a program called style XP which lets you fully change your setup too. PM me if you want the program and or the exact themes that I use as there are a couple thousand on that site (fully broken down into themes though).

Why the f*** do you need so many f***ing computers? Do they hug you and keep your warm at night or something, or do they make up for lack of friends? Honestly, you could have spent all the money you've spent on computers on building 2 ultimate computers that do everything...

whats the point of the crappy 51cm TV wehn you have all that awesome gear?

nice setup, but sometimes there is such thing as too much s***.

If money waster was in the dictionary, there'd be a photo of Tanaka Khan.

It's not the size of the boat. It's all about the motion in the ocean.

he obviously doesnt have a g/f, guess thats what the posters are for hey.

Also, Why the dells, i know they are cheap but realy, who buys dells?.

Interestingly enough dell is the only company thats releasing such large widescreen monitors. Their 24 inchers are very popular, which I belive scuzzy has two of (envy++).

Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters, thats pretty good.

why not just go all out and get an apple cinemadisplay? 30" and only 4k. its native res alone is enough to boggle the mind. 2560x1600

Nice setup there TK. A single flex of your ePeen could shatter an engine block.

I'm hard pushed using more than 1 PC and my laptop .. and the laptops only used to keep the porn running while I surf with my other hand.

So god knows what kind of sick and twisted events happen at the desk.

you play WoW and buy Dells. at least you could clean up all the messy cables to save any dignity you once had.


:D

which I belive scuzzy has two of (envy++).

me? i've only two 17" Samsung screens

I got the Dells through work, they do what I need them for and I havn't had a problem yet. Its not as if I went out and got all this gear in one day, I have been working on this set up over the years. The TV is old, and I wanted to get a new one but I don't watch as much TV as I use too, these days its all on the computers, thus the reason for the new 32 inch LCD. You may consider it to be a waste of money Protius, but it's my money to waste, and it's not a lack of friends, it's screwy working conditions that find me sleeping during the days and up til all hours of the night. In the end, it's my life and I'm happy with it =)

I must be thinking of another pic I saw of someones setup.

Yeah, twas around at Tanakas today and that monitor is f***ing awesome. It's so big it's ridiculous.

WoW looked awesome on it plus you can split the screen and play games on half and have a movie playing on the other.

Sad jealousy aside that is a nuts setup Tanaka.

Here's mine, been posted before:

Yes it is, I can't stand having an untidy desk, or even untidy desk top. If I'm not using the programs I hide the icons away.

Mostly prog and tech house my bizatch. Unfortunately the one on the right is having some serious problems at the moment, but I've got one of these babies in the mail from the US.

Do you live in a share house? Are you worried about people eating your food?

You have so many DVDs, you know you can download those things? :)

theres one screen for each of his cats!

where are you standing...?

LOL Fuknukle classic picture.
The fridge contains Pepsi Max, I live alone and own my own place. I know you can download movies but I prefer owning the originals. And Captain, seeing as you find my cats SO interesting, I only have 2 of them, so I have a few spair monitors =)

haha fuknukle

can i join in ? :D it sounds kinky

What is the fascination with my cats? Many people of this forum have cats yet everybody seems obsessed with mine. Better keep them locked away if any of you freaks ever come around =)

for the record, i dont give a s*** about your cats

the new 26" panasonic hdtv is great for watching 24 and stuff :)

just a quick questiont to the peeps that have large lcd monitors can u actully notice the 16ms response on them in like game like wow

also wouldnt it lag really bad for games because the pc has to process so much more becuase the screen is so large.....just that i am thinking about buying a 24inch dell

^youre dum

My 32 inch has 8 ms response, specs can be found here -

http://www.computeralliance.com.au/parts.aspx?qryPart=6229

existence`........why

also wouldnt it lag really bad for games because the pc has to process so much more becuase the screen is so large.....

That's why AmA.

And holy s*** TK. Just, holy s***.

so u r saying you would get the same fps on a 17inch and a 42inch screen

also wouldnt it lag really bad for games because the pc has to process so much more becuase the screen is so large.....just that i am thinking about buying a 24inch dell

Ghosting is only a little bit noticeable to me in cs:s and dod:s using that 24" dell, but thats from coming from a 19" 8m samsung, and to me it makes f*** all difference.
as for how well it runs, you just need to make sure you have a good enough video card to run @ native resolution of 1920x1200, not sure about how smooth wow would run (I ebayed a while ago hehe)but source games are fine with 1 7800 so I would imagine it would be fine.

last edited by Lunch at 13:27:48 17/Feb/06

please explain Ghosting and how would a x700 run a dell 24inch

WoW has taken on a whole new meaning for me since my new monitor, I can't even stand looking at my other pc with which I 2 box with (19 inch LCD).

WoW is one of the ugliest modern games in existence... watching it on a larger screen would only amplify the pain

For all of WoW's evils, this is simply not true. In fact, for its scalability and technical self-restrain it is the polar opposite of true. No.

I'd rather phatmike's setup over TK's any day.

i got a 6800GT and pretty much everything runs sweet as @ 1920x1200
x700 will be fine

For all of WoW's evils, this is simply not true. In fact, for its scalability and technical self-restrain it is the polar opposite of true. No.

true it does get better with resolution however even at Wows hardcorest of hardcore settings it still looks like utter poo.

huge enviroments lots of colours but pooy detail and textures.
that and the boringness is the reason i quit wow. It was like christmas all over again, remembering i had a 4x4, car, motobikes, RC Nitro monster trucks and a GF! fukin rock on!!

I'd rather phatmike's setup over TK's any day.

but he doesnt have 17 monitors

but he doesnt have 17 monitors

Exactly....

oh, that lcd is my brothers, i have a 19inch crt that he is using. still, i dont have a 2nd video card in to run some crazy ass monitorage, or enough pc's to do what he does.. :P

the gamecube running through component video looks amazing, stuff like smash bros and metroid are so bright, clear and vibrant in color. its like playing different games.

Congratulations Protius your a f***head

O RLY?

rev post that pic you've been posting for soooo many years.
do it.

WoW on widescreen is so much better (1280x720). You actually get that extra view from the sides. Nice when rogues try to sneak on u.

As far as MMORPs goes, I think WoW looks pretty good.

Would you think it overboard if I got myself a second 32inch LCD? I swear after using my current one for a week I can't look at my smaller screens, there just so...small.

mate, by reviving this f***en thread, and bragging about your setup... just proves what a f***en little dick you are... and you are here just for attention... stop being a tosser and get a life

I think I hear a 3 piece calling your fat ass there Ace, it's only 8 days old and MY f***ing thread to revive. Read the first post I made here "I felt the need to show off", so f***ing what?? Many people show off their cars and s*** on this forum, and you've been known to show off your collection of man porn.

lawl! flame on

Tanaka are you going to buy a proper monitor this time, or some s***ty tv with a 1300*xxx resolution?

What would you recommend Bah?

Apple and dell both do 30 inchish monitors with 2600*xxx resoltions, cost a s***load though obviously.

To be honest I'm glad the one I bought has the TV stuff built in, as it also doubles as my TV when not using the pc (I was in the market for a TV as well, as my older ones are crap, but then I don't watch TV that much so I could justify in getting this model).

Hmm...
DellTM 30" 3007WFP UltraSharpTM Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor
http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/compare.aspx/30lcd_au?c=au&l=en&s=dhs

$700 more than my current one too, which I could handle but...

$3999 for the Apple 30 inch, I'd really have to see one of those in action before i spent that kind of money on one.

But 4x the amount of pixels, wouldnt having a 1300*xx res on a 30 inch monitor look something like 800*600 on a 19 inch?

1360x768 is what I have atm. I wouldn't say it looks like 800x600 on a 19 inch (my other ones are 17 inch) but it is damn cool though, and as I said, hard to back looking at the smaller ones.

1920X1200 on the 24" dell is what ive got, plus a tvcard for the win

for that kind of money for the 30 inches i'd rather a white bed sheet and a projector

Would you think it overboard if I got myself a second 32inch LCD?

Yep.

Would you think it overboard if I got myself a second 32inch LCD?

I think the whole thread is overboard, ditch the 57 monitors and get 1 decent one. So much outlay and not one decent monitor for the amount of cash that setup would have cost :/

pretty hardcore khan

all those monitors and all you do is post s*** threads on qgl

You have a little while to go yet untill you match this Tanaka

http://www.csr.utexas.edu/grace/gallery/launch_prep/L-04/Control_Room_2.JPG

WOW

That pic was WAYYYYyy bigger then I thought...

Lucky you have plenty of monitors to see it..

LOL, one day Tollaz0r!...one day.
The thing to remember here Lunch is that I didn't go out in one day and buy all this stuff, I've been doing it over a couple of years, a bit here, an upgrade there. And surprisingly enough all my systems have a use. Yes it might be good to have just 2 totally kick ass systems and save a whole lot of space, but I'm happy with what I have (well, maybe a little bit happier with another big monitor). Some people enjoy their cars, houses, musical instruments, gym set ups etc, I enjoy my computers. =)

Hey TK, What sort of security do you do? events/private security?

Although, whats the benefit of 2 boxing WOW, so you play 2 chars on one server so u can kill things quicker and get quests over faster? I don't get it?

Mobile patrols, alarm responses, escorts etc. I use to do ATM repairs a few years ago, but I didn't enjoy it very much, especially working on ATM's in service stations, with my back to the door, $20000 in my hand, and having dick heads comming up to me asking what would I do if they tried to rob me? Usually placing a hand on my gun was enough to get them walking away. =)
Thats pretty much it Tiny, when 2 boxing I would usually play one Tank type and one Healer type (with the healer on auto follow). I can usually take out mobs on my own with out the need to find groups. It just takes a little work setting up all the macros I need but then its all good.

lol 2 boxing wow.. Sounds like dungeon siege

looks a bit like the telstra GOC. Monitor isn't as big but lots lots more

My great ol Pioneer 106...never!

Pity about the ghey beige front plates on the Lian Li case but meh...couldnt be bothered painting them or getting new stuff.

I am really very happy with the new Phillips 22" monitor. It really has impressed me after having the good ol Sony 19" for so long but this Phillips 202p professional monitor is awesome. Uses BNC cables (had to buy a special lead) and well it can run at 1600x1200@104hz and that is awesome for BF2 ect..using the SLI setup inside. Luv CRT monitors...call me old fashioned but they do rock if you have ths space.

Doesn't that mouse struggle on that shiny surface? :/

Actually no, its probably hard to see in the pic but the desktop is a highly polished laminate and the Logitech MX518 gaming mouse works perfectly on it.

Just had another look and you can see how polished the desktop surface is in the first pic, see the reflection of the joystick on the table top. The mouse doesn't even have a problem with the colour of the surface either.
