I always have been interested in seeing how others play so I thought I'd make this thread so the community can show off their set ups.
Here is my current set up at school.

How did you get all that?
I know it isn't all the great but hey it works for me
Attachment 3803
Rig Specs:
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 x2 Duel Core Processor 6000+ 3.10 GHz
RAM: 4GB
Video Card: ATI Radoen HD 3800 Series
So not a bad set up but not the latest and greatest out there
Just took 2 quick pictures with my phone, this is my gaming area of my room:
Attachment 3804
40" (I think?) Toshiba tv, 360, PS3, ONKYO HT-S3400 5.1 Home Theater System (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882120182)
My current PC setup:
Attachment 3805
32" (I think?) dynex (shitty brand) HDTV, 19.5" ViewSonic monitor, the computer has:
Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157274
Processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103727
Fans: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835553002
GFX: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows 8 64-bit
Not built for a gaming rig, but for longevity, and it is a major, MAJOR, upgrade from what used to be in that computer case.
I see Blackhawk has a great taste in gaming peripherals. I'll post up my college dorm setup once I clean up this mess. It's quite bad right now.
However, my OLD home setup is here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebm-BNut8CE
Uploaded on July 2, 2011, don't hate. It was like the 2nd vlog I ever made. I'll post my updated setup later tomorrow after my raid tomorrow night.
The worst gaming setup you have ever seen
Emerson HD that enables me to switch between PC, my Xbox and a PS2 (literally I have to change the channel)
Attachment 3806
Custom Build PC (no specifics cause i'm lazy)
Turtle Beach X11 and X12
Roxio Game Capture.....yeah
Attachment 3808
Look at that sexy slim PS2.
Attachment 3809
And Blackhawk, is that lotion I see in the corner over there?

You bitches will be amazed mark my words.
Lol. They're awesome. I love how they're detachable and whatnot. The one in the picture only has one segment (other than the drawer one) so that I can use it as a nightstand and a place to put my laptop when I play xbox, but I have another one on the other side of the room with 3 extra segments that I use basically like a bookshelf.Quote:

My xbox isn't all that special. Basically, picture a TV with an Xbox360 next to it. That's me.
However, I have a friend, who I wholeheartedly believe, beats Blackhawk. I literally cry tears of joy every time I see it at his house.
I REALLY hope when you guys say CPU, you are referring to the Central Processing Unit aka the Processor and not the computer as a whole.
Lol. ComPUter. :rofl:Quote:

On the PC gaming side:
1 HP Dv6 with AMD A10 and AMD graphics set (Pretty beefy when mixed with my 16 GB RAM)
1 Macbook Pro with 16 GB for video editing, featuring the full Adobe Creative Suite
As far as software goes, I have a Steam Account, and Planetside 2 and TOR Account as well.
I also use my Turtle Beach X11s with everything, since they're compatible.
And with connectivity being at the core of this, I unfortunately have a .750k Down connection and .350 Up connection.
(I can't wait to move.)
I shall necrobump this thread with a Vine to show you my gaming setup in my bonus room. Enjoy!
]Click Here!
The desktop specs are alright. 4 cores, 8 gigs of RAM, Radeon 6700 series GPU, 2 TB harddrive and an Asus Motherboard. The keyboard and mouse are just some cheaper alternatives to major gaming peripherals. One 22" monitor and two 19" monitors. The secondary desktop is an HP 1 core desktop that I leave on to play Slay, keep my Google Calendar on hand, run my proxy, and allow for guests to use. The only two things not pictured in my battlestation are my Acer 17" Notebook and 11" Netbook. The Notebook went dead while I was on vacation, dunno what the issue is, and the Netbook generally stays upstairs or around the house, obviously. I have an older 360 with HDMI, the Roxio GameCap I'm sure everyone is familiar with, and some Turtle Beach X31's.
So overall, not a very expensive set up, but a solid one, and one I am proud to have built up myself, including purchasing my own damn desk for it.
Hp 2000 Laptop. Have yet to enter the PC Gaming Craze.
MW2 Xbox 360, Tritton AX720's, 32 INCH HDTV, and a Futon to Top it Off :D
Somebody has a thing for Cortana, lmao.Quote:

The headset is a Turtle Beach PX-21
That Xbox you see is golden. I've had it since June of 2008 and it has only failed once. It got the red ring like a month after I got it. This thing is a beast, hasn't failed since and its been 5 years now.
The big TV is a Coby 32-inch while the smaller one is an Insignia 19-inch.
I needed something to be in the pictures. Normally there is no background at all.Quote:

What is that OriginPC going to cost, Fiery? Dang!! lol
I have a laptop.
I've really been getting sick of the crappiness of my laptop. So I recently decided that I'm going to push back getting an Xbox One until next year, and instead get a new laptop for the Fall semester.
Now I've looked around a bit and I'm fairly sure this is what's going to be happening around early September:
Toshiba Satellite A215-S7428 -> Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-55 (1.8 GHz 512KB L2 Cache -> 4th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz 1600MHz 6MB) 2.0GB DDR2 SDRAM @ 667.0 MHz -> 8.0GB DDR3L RAM @ 1600Mhz 128MB ATI Radeon X1200 -> 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 15.4in 1280x800 Resolution -> 15.6in 1920x1080 Resolution 160GB HDD @ 5400.0 rpm -> 1TB HDD @ 5400rpm 10/100 Ethernet | USB 2.0 | 5-in-1 Card Reader Input -> 1GB Ethernet | USB 3.0 | 6-in-1 Card Reader Input VGA | S-Video Output -> VGA | HDMI Output Up to 1hr Battery Life (Due to Age) -> Up to 5hr Battery Life No Webcam -> HD 720p Webcam
I think I should be able to get a pretty good balance of portability and performance out of the Y510p. Let me know if I'm wrong, and if you have any suggestions! No matter what I'd say it's a hefty improvement over what I currently own.
Lugging around a big laptop around campus won't be your friend, Kaz. My friend had a 17" Alienware and he hated it's weight and didn't have a backpack large enough to fit it securely.
I would look at seeing if there are two hard drive bays in your laptop, as getting an SSD for your OS will be a god-send. An HDD at 5400rpm isn't going to cut it for going to class back and forth.

I'd have sexual relations with cortana.
My current laptop is comparable in weight to the Y510p, and I've only ever minded the weight on walks >1mile (which won't be happening this semester). By portability I mostly meant good performance with halfway-decent battery life, which my current laptop has none of. I didn't think it would be possible but the new Haswell chipset have shown to have great improvements in extending battery life. Also booting Win8 up from Hibernate is pretty darn snappy even on a 5400rpm HDD so I don't find that to be any issue.Quote:
Originally Posted by Maxdoggy
And if down the road I do, the Y510p has Lenovo's "Ultrabay", which is a section on the righthand side where you can swap out Optical Drives, HDDs, SSDs, or even another GT 750M if I wanted. So if I do end up wanting a SSD later when my budget is bigger I could easily just add one in.
Oh, and as for "lugging it around", I might add that FGCU's Campus is absolutely tiny compared to pretty much anywhere else. xD
around 3500$ lol but it will be for working too.. models stress testing code and such :p (aka excuses to justify it)Quote:

My PC specs haven't changed (mostly negligible, quad core AMD FX series, dual R7 260x running 3 BenQ 24" monitors and cheap peripherals), but I have been spending a lot of time working on my actual workstation set up.
It started out as this:
I thought I was hot shit, but it was too complicated, so I revamped and streamlined.

Newish setup. Can post xbox and stuff later
Attachment 5130
My new set up at my new place. lets hope the pacific rim, lets call it a wall scroll, stays up.
If anyone is interested in laptop specs i can post them. the desktop in the corner is a junker though and is just there as a media device
That Pacific Rim "wall scroll" is badass!
Here's my workspace. Mostly use it for multi-media(animation, video editing) and gaming/
This is my build.
Here is a pic of the desk. Monitor on the left is a cheap 1440p. For sound I use a corsair vengeance wireless headset. I got my wacom tablet for 3D texture painting/scuplting and photoshop.
That machine is very, very nice, d3ad1te. When you're done with it, mind giving it to me? :P
