    Various Tidbits:

    Control Panel before going back on the desk

    Wiring

    Project has one big step left, the parts are in the mail to make my Gamecube & Wii adapters so I can play Tatsunoko vs Capcom with authentic arcade controls.

    All the systems toggle on the fly via a switch under the keyboard.

    The W90? Its not out yet :p Well newegg has the knock off X1 version, the A1 comes to resellers in about a week or two.

    I use my laptop at work not at home. No need with that 37" screen and quad core powerhouse next to it.

    Yes, its the 1722 modified with a quad core and radeon 4850, it was released by Advent, probably to test the demand for the new MSI GT725-210UK (Same with bigger res, bigger hd and turbo ability)

    You are blocking your 360s air vent with the power brick, I would place the brick some other place.

    The tad bit of blank space there where the remotes are sitting is beginning to look quite attractive for a netbook......but I think I need to do something about these blank walls first.

    The setup is nice, what do you think you want to do with the blank walls? Put up some Artwork? Posters? Paint the walls? Just adding some color, can make a huge difference on white walls, if you can't paint! :D

    You could hang a few shelves :D

    Cin ;) :)
