what??? /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

Im only guessing not giving out info /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Im rearranging house and once rig is online, in about Two Weeks™ I promise to post a pic. Im not shy about giving info but since you can read all the clues you need in the Rolling Thunder forum it's not going to be to surprising to get it "right"

It illustrates my point that even with pictures our mental ( yes yes Gold Dragin Im mental /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> ) picture of those on online normally are completely skewed.

(pic removed for space)

In the picture:

Sony Vaio A Series Laptop with A/V dock using DVI out
26 inch HD LCD TV
5.1 Logitech speakers
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2NX 24Bit external (USB) Sound Card
Saitek ST290Pro Joystick
Microsoft Optical Mouse
RCA HDTV Tuner
Oppo DVD player
Western Digital External Hard Drive
Dang AEM! $2500 setup (26" LCD...) and $35 chair! Anyway, looks just like one from Officemax/depot that falls apart in a year. Need to treat your back/ass better for late night gaming. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Well, you showed me yours, so here's mine:

Athlon 3200+ (it has a... er... core of some variety)
A7N8X-E De-luxe motherboard
120 gb WD HDD (8 meg cache, naturally)
1 gig slow, yet guaranteed Kingston RAM (no tiny, almost if not entirely imperceivable speed increase for me)
LG DVD Burner, 16x maybe? or 12...
CD Burner 52x32x52
Many fans and blacklights, now disabled cos they cause my HDD to crash thanks to the next item
400w Usicase PSU came with the towerbox (words added for variety, these words added for pedantism in explaining the term towerbox), all for 100 bucks (pretty @#(!, less amps than I'd like on the 12v)
A *gasp* floppy drive
Excalibur Radeon 9600XT 256mb (pink)
SB Audigy 2 ZS
7.1 channel Creative T7900 speakers, arranged quite well (little room, small shelf space, perhaps too much against the walls)
Logitech G5 gaming mouse (new addition, my excuse was I wanted to strafe with a broken hand)
499 dollar 17" LG LCD display 12ms (it's not a screen, a screen is what you get changed behind in a doctor's office or kinky/non-kinky japanese massage parlour)
Microsoft Sidewinder 2 joystick
Logitech Chat headphones (forked out the thirty bucks for a decent mic)
External 250 gb WD HDD in the enclosure, USB 2.0 and all that
10 dollar Keyboard, Esc key getting faulty I suspect... keys between the numpad and the main bit mysteriously non-existent. Also one Ctrl, as far from the other Alt and delete as possible (some sort of sick joke from a Linux using designer I suspect)

I built this machine, my first one, mostly with components from the Beastie section of PC PowerPlay mag (for all those aussie readers, if you don't already get this fine journal, you should)

Prices are in Aussie dollars, people that read this and gave a @#(! are measured in nano-units.

i'm relatively lo-tech.
note the lack of case cover, j-stick, and high res camera.
...and yes i did tidy up before this was taken. all incriminating evidence of meds was removed /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
