Show us your computer room!

I'm sorta partial to the computer set-ups that double as tv/entertainment center, basically because I'm looking to turn my room into one with a nice 26-32" tv as a monitor.

 

Here is mine:

 

Thats a wonderful machine you got there!

 

Yes, that's my Comcast HD/DVR box there, it doubles as my TV setup. Monitor is a Westinghouse W3 1080P, great unit for PC/TV. Picture is of my living room. I use the PC for storage/music/DVD watching, and my laptop (pictured on table) is my primary machine now. Sick of being tied down to an office.

 

This one is my another room

 

Rashid, keepin it simple

 

What the hey, might as well toss my setup into the mix.

I hate my dorm, but I'm stuck with it until may, so I guess I'm making do reasonably well.



And my setup when I'm at home with a tolerably-sized desk space...



Asus G1S-A1
Samsung 205BW
Harmon Kardon AVR 146
Polk Audio RTi4 bookshelves

Snoopy Snowcone Maker (pssh, beat that!). I wish I could get some better (updated) pics, but I'm 300miles from home, so those will have to do, and the best camera I have access to is my phone, which explains the terrible grain of the dorm-shots.

Aiming for a sonosub and a new desktop before the start of next semester.

 

Very nice Nice and clean, I like!

 

The wiring was an atrocity when I was at home (I was only there for 2 weeks, and didn't feel like cleaning it all up only to rip it up a few days later). It isn't much better at the dorm. I can't fit my cooler's power brick through the back, so I have the cable going out the side, and where the monitor is, I have to run the cables off the side of the shelf.

I have since moved the external HD (which you can barely see on the left side of the reciever) into a new horizontal enclosure on top of the right speaker, and moved the monitor to the right side of the shelf. I moved it so I could get a better angle from lying in bed, since all I do is watch movies on the external.

 

Heh, was gonna comment on the cables as thats seems to be the only ugly thing about your setup.

Seriously, thats a very nice setup - I think you have a good eye for a good looking simple arrangement. Looks good even in the dorm room - most peoples stuff looks like a total mess in those.

 

2 Liquid Steel.Nice Room!

 

Liquid Steel, I Applaud your use of PVC and Toliet flanges for speaker stands. You may want to paint them though to help disguise them.

 

I threw it together the day before I moved back into the dorm, so I didn't have a chance when I was home. I could have done it, but I didn't want to risk throwing it in the trunk of the car with wet paint. I'll paint it this summer, and make a matching one for the other speaker probably.

Not toilet flanges, though. They are sealed, which was the main reason I didn't use toilet flanges. Both ends of the PVC are sealed, which is nice because I filled the tube with sand and assorted scrap metal.

Here is my setup at college (yes I installed an extra lock on the door ). Rig in the sig, Xbox 360, 32" Toshiba LCD, and of course my Sennheiser 595's keep me "on task" on those long study sessions.



...The monitor doesn't look that bad in person.


Enjoy!

 

There's my CPU cooler.. *cries* ..

On a side note, I just organized most of my power cables (I have tons), so I really should take a picture of my setup. Getting my new laptop parts tomorrow, so maybe then.

 

^^^ yep, looks good doesn't it! It does the job and for the price I paid I couldn't be happier.

 

here's mine. taken with my kodak Easyshare C183.

That pretty much summed it up...

-Logitech Z2300 (perfect speakers, i'm very happy with it)
-Logitech G15 (new edition)
-Logitech MX Revolution
-What you might don't see on the pictures: Western digital Home edition 1TB
-Some other stuff

Any comments ?

 

Yeah, nice set up.

My system includes the same speakers and I agree with you - I'm very happy with them. (My gf is not. She's forever telling me to, "Turn that damn noise down!") LOL

 

what case is this and is that a cooling kit or custom part?

 

Not much, but does the job for me.
Got my 500GB external HDD next to the laptop.
26" Sammy HDTV on top - used to have my XBox 360 connected to it, but sold the 360 a little while ago since i got bored of it, so I link my laptop up to it sometimes.

 

that laptop looks ginormous on top of that computer desk.

 

rofl, yeh it is a bit of a monster! lol

 

can you change the keyboard color or is it stuck on purple?

 

You can change the LED colours..

 

yeah i was leaning toward the xps or the m15x. since the m15x is obvious you can change the led when configuring it.

 

Well my setup has changes a bit so here are some new pictures.
http://picasaweb.google.com/JetsWin018/ComuterRoom
Basically here is what is in the setup:
Inspiron 1520
Samsung 22inch 2280HD
Ipod video 30gb
Ipos Nano 4gb
Lg vx8600 phone
Logitech z-2300 speakers
Xbox 360
Various Xbox 360 games
Various pc games
That's about all

 

Do you use all those computers yourself, or do you have another person living there?

VERY nice setup btw.

 

i believe it was a few pages back someone said to stop quoting peoples images, it gets annoying scrolling through pics you've already seen.

In any case I'll be moving my room and gonna have a new setup, so ill post pics of when that happens, probably won't be for a while though.

 

Lol. Your picture makes the XPS 1730 look gorgeous! xD Better than the Dell pictures.

 

XD here is my pc setup ... hope u like it... (sorry fot the image quality but my camera had no batteries so i took them with one of my crappy cellphones)





My XBOX 360 (Arcade, with new falcon 65nm CPU and internal HDMI port)

 

Hey Guys,

So I got ym XPS m1330 this morning and here's a pic of my setup



From Left to right:

PSP
Blue HDD: Vantec Nexstar 3 With 500gb WD SATA Drive
Black HDD: Vantec Nexstar 3 with 320gb SATA drive
Logitech X230 Speakers
Logitech Cordless Wave Keyboard
Wacom Bamboo Tablet
Samsung 710N 17" LCD Monitor
Dell XPS m1330 (T9300, 4GB RAM, 320GB Hard drive, 8400gs, bluetooth, wifi N, Tuxedo black LED dispaly)
on a Logitech Alto Express stand and connected to a Logitech 4port premium powered USB hub
Logitech G7 Carbon Fibre Edition
Logitech LX8 Mouse that came with the cordless wave but isn't in use
Dopod 838pro runing WM6
Ipod Mini 4GB

let me know what you think - I wouldnt mind a 22" or 24" LCD

 

What phone is that? Looks like a Tilt/TyTN II/Kaiser/Hermes to me.

 

Dopod 838 pro aka tytn 1 or imate jasjam lol

 

Cool setup. I like the fact that you have both the laptop and the external monitor side by side. Handy.

Will post pics of my setup whenever the laptop I want gets released. I've got a 47'' philips ambilight tv that I use as my monitor, surround sound system, Loftgoods Gamepod chair with matching ottoman, and will possibly buy the starter kit for philips AMBX. Should be sweet once it's all set up.

 

Oh it is the TyTN I. Looked similar to TyTN II at that distance. Good stuff (=

 

lol, a dock for the iPod mini. I made one out of legos.
