Boston Acoustics BA4800 4.1 Surround System (Subwoofer hidden)
HP Wireless Keyboard setup.

How many computers do you have hooked up to that? It looks like you have a VGM switch (or whatever its called) under your monitor.

Beautiful setup!

Now that is how it is done. How much money is in those monitors? Are there differences in color and brightness between the three monitors?

Yeah but I'd rather have one Ultrasharp than two standard monitors.

I wouldn't. I need the real estate.

:Q Wow, best monitor setup in the thread. Is that a 30" and two 2007FPWs on the sides?

That's two 2007FPs (no W)

No, they are two 2007WFPs. The 2007WFP's width are very close to the 3007WFP's height, that is why pairing them up looks so good.

I need the speaker stands for the front speakers that you have......those Boston Acoustics sound pretty good don't they? Cep't for the ones way the hell up on the wall?

Nope, yoyo is right. It's not widescreen.

:D
That C clamp is holding the shifter, which is a seperate piece from the wheel. The wheel has its own clamping mechanism. It's broken now though. :( I broke two wheels so far. These plastic wheels just can't take the abuse from a hardcore rally sim like Richard Burns Rally. :( :p

NERD Story:

I was wondering why my CPU normal temps were going up (X2 3800+, 2.4ghz), usually they idle around 38c, but i noticed they were idling about 45c instead. I take off the clear CPU fan (see above) and there was this BLANKET of dust that prohibited airflow probably 90%.

After removal of blanket, idle temps sunk down to 34c :D

P.S. - Comp is (almost) completely silent, most fans are attached to a fanbus. I'd rate my PC < 23dBa. Also, each hard disk and optical drive are on its own channel. (Primary master - 40gb, Secondary Master - Black DVD-RW, SATA0 - 400gb, SATA2 - 120gb, USB (ghetto hookup) - Beige DVD-RW)

Dig the optical drive screwed to the shelf above your "rig". The layer of dust on that tower is probably still holding your temps high.
