    14' Philips on my bedroom (with the PS2) and a 29' Sony Wega on the living room.

    Soon to be replaced by a 21' CRT Toshiba on my bedroom and a 40' LCD Samsung on the living room.

    Here's my current setup at college, but when I leave next week it's going to change radically:

    The TV/monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW with SCART, DVI (HDCP), VGA, Component, RCA, S-Video, and BNC connectors.

    The speakers that are connecte to everything are Klipsch/THX 2.1 computer speakers.

    Connected to the TV/monitor:
    PC with Intel Core 2 Duo E63000, GeForce 7900GT, 1GB DDR2-800 RAM (DVI with HDCP)
    Mac Mini (Power PC, VGA)
    Xbox 360 with HD-DVD drive (VGA)
    PS2 (Component)
    Nintendo 64 (RCA)

    I rarely play console games these days, so this is my gaming setup:

    - Pentium 4 1GB RAM, nVidia 6800 GTOC (for Counter-Strike 1.6 :110:)
    - A naked HKT-0120 Dreamcast Development unit
    - An HKT-0500 GD-X duplicator
    - An HKT-0400 GD-Writer on top of the GD-X
    - A retail Dreamcast unit on top of the GD-Writer
    - A Pinnacle 700-USB video capture card.

    It's a PowerPC G4 1.42Ghz. It does what I need it for. I basically use it for internet browsing and everyday kinds of things, and I use my PC for gaming and other resource-intensive stuff. That way I don't risk getting viruses or spam that would slow down my PC. It is extremely quiet, way quieter than any other computer I've ever had.

    i was just over at Apple's site-store. Can't say it packs alot of value for money that mac-mini. Shame, I wanted a quiet text editor/browser. Might as well get a PS3 and use Linux.

    I live in a small anount of available space.

    I have a Sony 34 inch wide Hi def tube. It has
    far better contrast and speed compared to any flat
    plasma or tube yet under $25,000 and has zero motion blur, or
    risk of burn in.

    This is NOT my tv inthepicture, it's a pal's. We both got the same tv on the same day
    with my discount I had at the time, it was some 30% off.

    [​IMG]

    I have no surround, as it would make the natives angry.
    I have to use headphones.

    I have a ps2/hdd/fliptop
    A xbox with mod / linux as a media center
    Xbox 360 that doesn't work
    Ps3 that works great, but has no decent games
    A HDMI dvd player with upscaling
    And my wii.

    No room for the retro systems they are all packed up.

    If I want to play anything, I pretty much have to move furniture around so I can sit and play.
    As a result I tend to do less gaming than I would like due to having no room.

    A large apartment here is some $1700 a month for maybe
    a two bedroom. It costs more to live here than to live in
    shibuya.

    I am looking to move to a cheaper area (sadly far from nyc)
    in order to keep down costs while I finish out school.

    Take a look in the refurb store - and at the educational discounts (best from accessing inside the uni). I got my Macbook for £600 from that, which is a pretty decent price.

    Unfortunately, I d rather pay 400 GBP for a PS3 and use it as a desktop PC with almost the same specs + games :( the mac-mini is nice, portable and sleek, but it's not worth that much imo.

    Well, I got injured and can no longer do what I used to do for a living.
    I can't lift more than 15 pounds or stand for long, so that sort of limits me to
    doing a living hell of help desk and support jobs, or something similarly demeaning.

    I can make a living doing bankruptcies and sales,
    but it's an awful lot of work and stress.

    I decided to go back to school and learn a new profession.

    Besides, Dr. ASSEMbler sounds nice.

    "trust me, I m a Doctor" ;D

    I see you know the ways of liquidation and receivership/administration. Maybe someday if I work in the US i ll consider the legal side of that section :)

    on a funny note (funny for lawyers i guess), a company cant be bankrupt in the UK , only people can ^_^

    Eh, maybe a Ph.D.? ;)

    I've always wondered, what client/device are you using when you post on the forums? The text formatting/alignment looks different from standard.

    Assembler, is that a Pioneer Laserdisc player I see lurking in that lot?

    I used to have one of those and Star Wars - picture quality was obviously not as good as DVD, but the audio was far less compressed and man the sound was good!

    That is a pal's setup! Nothing in that picture is mine, just a similar representation.

    I have a similar LD unit. You can't beat laserdisc for some obscure titles. I doubt the Japanese dune LD set would ever make it here, even a HD or BLue ray version won't have the alan smithee TV version.

    Mod 1. Genesis with 32X (no video cable though) and CD (which needs fixing)


    And my PC, which I game the most on right now (ePSXe for Ridge Racer and MGS, Kega for Sonic, SoR and Moonwalker and SSF for NiGHTS):
    A64 3500+ Orleans core (90nm AM2)

    19" LCD
    Yamaha reciever through 2 speakers.
