    new toys, myantidrug (not 56k friendly)

    After getting bansticked, I spent a little of the "I'm quitting FFXI" money on some new gadgets. Upgraded my raid arrays & controllers, a new 30" LCD, desk, chair, and a whole entertainment setup for my living room. Thought I might post some images now that I have everything setup.

    (note: the URL of the images might change in a few days)

    I'm going to try my hardest to avoid playing anymore games in the future. From here on in just movies and music for entertainment. To make matters worse after getting banned, I was also told that our programming division was getting outsoursed. So now I have more free time then I know what to do with. Thinking of finishing a physics degree.

    Found this weird, then noticed he was in nin and forgot that ffxi was literally his life.

    Nice shit nonetheless.

    See guys, if you quit FFXI you immediately come into assloads of cash.

    This can happen to you!

    I give a shit, I would suggest you can play a MMO, just don't get too serious about it, if you can do that. But wow that is a sexy set up.

    i've been considering getting that 30" samsung on newegg, they had it for 999 not too long ago

    but i have a 24" (VA panel <3 ) Soyo that's pretty large for gaming, if i were to upgrade I'd probably just get an LCD/Plasma around 46-50" instead of a 30" with a higher resolution, i hate it when i have money burning a hole in my pocket

    While that is a nice set up, the tech forum is meant for technical assistance, not showing off specs. I'll review the rules.

    IMO, I think everyone needs to clean the shit out of their vag. Nice setup, Mini... if only I had the physical room to have something similar.

    Yeah, totally out of place to post a computer setup in the tech thread. Because there wasn't a "post your PC" thread on the forums for years. I'm mostly posting here because the NiN website will be going down soon and I wanted a place I could link my old in game friends to. I know some people don't care, but as people have shown in this thread, some people like this type of stuff. I personally love seeing nice computer setups. If you don't like the content of the thread, feel free to use the magic 'go back one page' button. Usually located in the top right corner of your browser window.

    As for the comments eluding to NiN 'attention whoring', besides sig'ing gear, which most of the forum has been guilty of at one point or another, what has NiN done to be the center of attention? We posted updates like once every 3-6 months, we almost never posted in the drop threads, we didn't have a section where we counted epeen kills or daily drops, when members got too 'braggy' in threads I'd usually slap their wrists and there were never any real drama threads about the shell. We were a very quiet shell. Don't confuse popularity through achivment for attention whoring. I was happy when our site got more hits, but I hardly ever did anything to premote it outside of recruitment.

    @Epical: I didn't think the desk I got was so huge. I had to take a ton of stuff out of the room just to fit it in. I got lucky tho, it was 1/2 price because the store I got it from was going out of business, same with the chair.

    @Reality: I have a samsung myself. I'm not sure about the 30" version, but the 24" one that I own is really dissapointing. The backlight is really uneven, the viewing range is poor and the color reproduction is subpar. I really really love the Dell LCD's. I hate the company, but they make a damn good monitor.

    @Kuya: There was at one point a thread where people posted their computer setups. I enjoyed borwsing it while it was still active.

    @Pyro: It is. It's my old work cell, and it's a POS. I put the phone there for scale, not to show off my 3 year old phone cheap ass phone.

    @Okan: The 2 rightmost cases are both diffrent. One's the 900, the other is the 1100. They are both good for cooling, but I really don't care for them otherwise. I think the lian-li PC-P80 kicks the shit out of either of them. I hate how hard it is to get to the filters on the 1100. But you can't argue with the price.

    PostScript: The sig'ing gear thing, if I was 'attention whoring' it up, I'd of added the 6th relic. Or a mirad of other items.. but apathy got the best of me. With that said, I'm off to get a new belt!

    So my post gets deleted but the others saying exactly the same thing don't?

    GG

    Point is, you haven't created a 'post your PC thread' instead this is just a 'look at me'

    I actually searched for the thread. I couldn't remember the exact title. Also, I was worried that I would of been flamed for a necrobump. But if it worries you so much, change the title to "Post pics of your computer setup v2" or something. At the time I posted the images, it was only a few hours after receiving the Dell LCD I'd been waiting almost a month to make/ship. I'm still just excited to be playing around with a new toy. I actually really wouldn't mind making a new "post your computer setup" thread. I always enjoyed seeing what other people have for setups.

    Why the hell would you avoid playing videogames with that kind of setup? Listening to music and watching films for hours on end sounds boring as all fuck to me.

    I never really intended to play ffxi as long and as much as I did. Gonna try and avoid that in the future.
