Do ya got a circular saw and power drill?
I'm a carpenter so I have pretty much everything, but all I probably used was a circular saw and drill. I had a few scraps of 3/4" oak and birch plywood, and a couple of 1"x2"'s used here and there.

I was planing on making a topic about Desk+Monitor vs PC to TV.
Recently I was planing on selling my monitor and just use my 46 inch tv as my pc displaying device to save room in my basement.
So far I've only played 3rd person games and co-op/multiplayer stuff. Today I went to play BF3 story for the first time, and I was bored. I didn't feel like I was immersed. The best answer I could come up with is a desk+monitor is more immersive do to being close and my face being a foot or so away, being in the cockpit so to speak. Or is it the first hour of BF3 is boring? Even if its boring I should still be able to be immersed. Dice knows how to build worlds.
Have you guys experienced the difference between TV vs desk/monitor? Or am I just crazy?

Well if you sit three feet in front of your 46" tv, that should be immersive.

Are you talking about my TV? It is on a arm. It can face any part of the room and extend about 2 feet from the wall. xD

Looks like a fun room!! It's kinda similar to my own man-cave.. with 3 rigs (one rig is currently down with a dead mobo that needs replacing), and a TV entertainment center with the consoles. Gotta take a picture of it! eviling
I made this thread several years ago, and it went really well. i still my self have pretty much the same setup, but I did change allot gear wise, and its of course in a different spot.
- rules -
post a couple pictures or your single best picture, i will pick one from every post, consoladate them and make a pole thread. :)
yes, all of that is connected together. i also have a 360 but i genraly dont play it to often so i keep it upstairs on another large tv for movies and netflix.
the sound system has its own sound card and runs off a toslink to the reciever. the z5500 runs off the stock card, and i also run an FIIO E7 DAC\headphone amp via USB for my AKG K550's whcih i sometimes game with, also have the coirsair vengence for chatting :P its quite the sweet setup. i also have a mini fridge behind me so it's a pretty badass setup :)

Desk was bought over a decade ago at Circuit City. LCD's on left and right are 22" 16X10 (Ubunta & Apple) in comparison to 30" 16X10 (W7). Got my exercise elliptical facing 2011 55" 3D LG TV. I can play music on the PC in the background and watch movie/news while working out. Makes workout painless. Got a couple Kegerators stocked with Miller Light (one at at time, takes about 2months to gulp down) which I mix with Miller 64 because I am a lightweight, ha. Ultimate bachelor pad in my basement except I am divorced after 15 yrs of marriage and not looking back or forward either.
