Well here's my setup:
This pic is kind of dark but you can see the computer on the right and the dual monitor/TV setup I have hooked up to the computer. The two screens are nice for watching a movie, lets everyone in the room see one of the screens.
This the computer itself. I custom built it a little less than a year ago and have made small additions since then. Its got a GeForce 7600GT for the graphics card, dual core processor, 2 GB of RAM, 250 GB hard drive, etc. and the nice small case, which makes it surprisingly portable and easy to haul to and from college during breaks. Its not that great (it was built with budget in mind), but I like it and works well for what I use it for. Mainly movies, TF2 (though I havent done FNF in forever) and WoW (when I periodically get roped into playing it again), homework, browsing the web, music, and (not) emulators (I use the PS3 controllers on top as gamepads for that).
This pic is my general setup, you can see the computer and monitors, and the PS2, DVD player, PS3, Pocket PC, and Rock Band floating in the background.
Close ups of the monitor and TV. Nothing special, but both are widescreen and the TV goes up to 1080i for PS3 action.
Heres my other computer, my laptop. Its a Toshiba Satellite A205, has 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB RAM, and other stuff I dont really remember. Works well for on the go stuff and can play WoW and whatnot when I go to friends houses.
And last but not least, one more group shot, where you can see the crappy printer hiding beneath the TV, the router, and the stand I built to raise the TV and make it visible throughout the room when I rotate it. Also, clock.
Well thats my setup. I like it and it serves my purposes, but I got to admit that having the Turning Point rig join it would only add to its sexiness. Plus Im gonna need something to play SC2 and all the games coming out in the near future on, and I'd rather not drop the dough to upgrade my current comp ;)
In order to win a "Turning Point Gaming Rig" you show your fail setup.
How does your setup exemplify fail?
Why do you deserve to have a new $4,000 PC?
It doesn't have to be a set-up full of fail, man. Unless they're tossing in pity points, but I thought it was a random drawing... If not, I should've dropped my laptop a few extra times before posting my entry...
Yeah it's just a random drawing, it's got nothing to do with how bad your rig is.
yeah it says it is a random drawing and it says to just show your computer setup. This is my setup. It sucks in comparison to the turning point rig, but quality of my current computer does not matter according to the contest. Also, why exactly would having a piece of shit computer mean you deserve a $4000 PC. If anything, a person who shows that they actually care about PC gaming and builds there own comp but doesnt have the cash to blow to make a top of the line rig like myself seems more deserving than someone who posts some random old PC ;)
Actually, there are people who have shitty computers who love PC gaming. Just because they can't afford one doesn't mean they don't deserve one.
;_; cry moar.
@NoLaw:
No.
Im sorry I didnt word what I was trying to say correctly. I was just trying to indicate that mere lack of a decent computer does not mean one deserves it more than another with a decent computer. Frankly I think if someone deserves it or not doesnt really matter all that much. I was just responding to brainderailments post about why I feel someone like myself, who does have a decent computer, might deserve one if that was part of the contest. Sorry to offend in any way, it really wasnt intentional. My last comment was meant to be somewhat sarcastic, I guess I failed at that huh? Oh well
Anyone can win, so eh.
Nice set up. :D
Hand sanitizer and a box of tissues next to your computer...
..Hmmmmm. lol
Uh I got allergies...yeah uh bad allergies lol
