    2 New Pictures for the Fray.

    I call it "Race Mode" :D

    This is how I play Dirt 2 and I moved my Katana from the headboard to my book shelf so its next to me and out of harms way from when the kids jump on the bed.

    @Mandrake +rep because i laughed.
    @Vicious, sweet. I bought a 5870, tried to triple view it like you did, and then found out that the third monitor had to be DisplayPport NATIVE compatible....I cried.

    Adapter, you can use DP --> DVI or DP --> VGA

    VGA is the cheaper route and even seems to work better.

    oops ><

    Edit: I will try to find that in France, the price I payed for the Second graphics card to have my third monitor working was 23 euros, thats annoying.

    Anyway thanks for that

    Using a 2nd card to run more monitors is fine, but all 3 monitors have to be connected to the ATI card for Eyefinity mode, so if you want to game on all 3 screens thats how you have to do it.

    eur...you need to browse all the 80 pages before saying something like that possibly annoying a few readers/poster

    Edit: Let me edit this, what is gaming experience, I don't understand why out of all the people that posted here, you and vicious are the "only ones that are truly enjoying the gaming experience"

    The gaming experience can range from having a blast with mates playing games to the loner playing his games on his PC, and through out that range, many factors come into play as to what is a great gaming experience, let it be the specs of the pc, the room size and the confy couch, or even going out to the arcades.

    So ya, why do you select yourself out of all those people here and declare that only you truly enjoy the gaming experience?

    I got a bit carried away (and pissed off, I played and loved games for many decades now, own a PC where the speakers alone are worth 1000 dollars, and seen some setups here from many people that are mighty sexy and capable of true gaming experience :p)

    Some of them are just shots of desks but some of the entries are entire rooms or even separate little cabins.

    Without wishing to cause offence to any of the people who have posted their really impressive set-ups on here, some of the LH entries are in a different league.

    A setup's a setup.
    Personally, I feel that the more of them you see, the more inspiration you can you can get - and by having a look at the LH Featured Workspaces, some people here could be inspired to improve their own rooms.

    Yeah I did guitar, was ok with reading tabliture but my injuries from the military make it really hard and painfull for me to hold certain chords so I had to drop guitar.

    Drums is the only instrument I wanted to play I never even tried. Its kinda hard to just get drums and a place to play, but I was able to get a acoustic guitar pretty easy.

    Yea I think the guitar is the most common instrument because its small and convinient.
