Thanks. I'm really happy. This is by far the best system I've ever used.
Hey Guys,
I've just finished reading through the entire thread, (that's right, all 127 pages of it!). I must say there are some pretty sweet rigs in here, and I must commend the efforts you've all put into your PCs.
I suppose I should post mine, it's not as awesome and high-end as some of the rigs on here, but it does what I want, and runs Crysis Warhead high enough to be satisfying :P

Looks good, and if it does what you want - that's all that countsI suppose I should post mine, it's not as awesome and high-end as some of the rigs on here, but it does what I want, and runs Crysis Warhead high enough to be satisfying :P
Welcome to Seven Forums HILLBILLY,
That's a lot of reading.
Nice rig, some good solid components. Like your case, looks very good
I am just amazed by some of the gear on here guys, RIGHT ON!
Here is my setup.
Pretty basic. Have the 40 inch and 26 inch flat panels able to receive VGA via splitter, as well have both able to receive signal from PS3, with HDMI to the 40 inch and Components to the 26 inch (have to enable the multi-out via the PS3 XMB but it only takes a second or two).
PS3 Media server accessing a SEAGATE 1TB and VERBATIM 500GB HDD.
Running a program called FENCES to allow categorization of desktop icons in various configs, as well as scrolling fences, and auto-hide icon feature.
DISPLAYFUSION v3.1.8 allows different wallpapers on extended display.
Definitely not as fancy as some of the gear here but does me wonders!
Just gotta get the audio end of my entertainment setup going, thinking of going with Onkyo SR607 up-scaling 7.1 receiver, with multi-HDMI switching.
Once I get everything tightened up THEN...............get rid of the wood panelling on the walls EEEEEE-GAD!!! Then a real entertainment stand, EEE-GAD again!
LOL (I live in friends basement, can't really do anything about it actually)
