    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit Signature Edition.
    I got it from www.houseparty.com by signing up to host a Windows 7 house party.

    Pretty legit process if you ask me.
    It runs sweet, I even got all the 32 Bit software to work on it after some twisting of arms.

    Overall I love the experience.

    This was mine about a month ago, but I had a powersurge one night, killed the 47" 1080P LCD, it's had a great 2 year run as my main monitor though, not too upset, I just sold it to a friend for $300 who's going to repair it herself.

    Went out, bought two LCD's to replace it, moved some stuff around, and this is what it looks like now http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm258/unknown555525/SNB10875.jpg One is a 16/9 1920x1080 21.5" the one on the right is a 16/10 1680x1050 22".

    Yea, its custom built, case is the Xclio twin turbine full tower, atm it's only got a P5Q pro, Q6600, 4GB PC8500, 750w Crossfire certified PSU, USED to have dual HD4850's in crossfire but I loaned one of the GPU's and they decided they didn't want to give it back, but rather just give me $100 for it. So it's only got one HD4850 right now.

    lol nice.

    Is that a forum? I would not maximize it if it is. It seems I would need to rotate my head just to read a post.

    Make a video of it running some game.

    Ah, very cool. Thanks. I can understand why you would have a hard time letting go of these toys.

    Enjoy it while it lasts! Turn off the lights too.

    Just got my monitor today, so I thought I'd put my toys together and take a picture. Our tuition actually includes ThinkPads, but I hated the T61 so I gave it to my dad and bought the Alienware for power and the M1330 for portability.

    Alienware M17, Dell XPS M1330, Samsung T240HD HDTV Monitor, Logitech G9 Mouse, Logitech G15 Keyboard (new rev.2 one on the way)

    how are they? i really am thinking that my next headphones to buy are from senn., i already have there 208, px200 and those were pretty good. my choices are 515,555,595. i also noticed the 515 G4ME, what is the difference between the G4ME and non-G4ME editions? is the 6 series much better than the 5 series?

    Yeah but tbh I can deal with it sticking out. If I ever had one of those rigs Id have a sprint mobile broadband that has wifi built in. Eitherway its a sweet rig. :)

    the U101 has B wireless built in, might get one of those at some point although its a bit larger. Sony has some cards which went with their line that barely stuck out at all (X505 came with it in particular) but are super expensive and hard to find.

    No amp on the HD600s although I may get one in the future they work just fine without one. The 5*0 and 5*5 series are more consumer oriented than the 6 & 8 series and they sound more fun and lively. Also I haven't used the 5*5 series just going on what others have said, I have used the HD590s though and they are a bit lighter.

    If you end up getting a U101 at some point, I hope that the reception with that 801.11b card is pretty good. If not, you'll be going right back to your current one.

    Haven't been around here for a while, but just got around to taking some pics of my new arrangement in the basement my new place (friend bought a house, moved in with him & another guy a week after labor day). Sorry if the thumbs are a little blurry.

    Things that still need to be done:

    -Acquiring a proper mousepad (my MX518 doesn't track the best on this glass-top desk of mine)

    -Finding a nice towel or something more suitable to slip under my tower (is sitting on this foam-like wrapping that it was packed in while in the box).

    Where's my lappy? Well, given the fact I acquired an excellent wireless router ( this one by Belkin) after getting the cable/internet hooked up, I decided to move it up to my bedroom for the sake of convenience (used to be sitting on the edge of my desk where the CD case is).

    I have been on the forum for a while and finally got around to posting some pictures of my work tools and toys. :)

    Here is my small network center. Cable feeds the house, wireless, and VPN switch for work. A separate DSL connection is fed to the 360.
