I win:

My workstation

a HP dv8235NR laptop (RAID 0 laptop FTW!) running MCE (on the 23" LCD HDTV)

Macbook 13.3"

custom desktop w/FX-55, 1800XT, 2GB RAM, 2 X 80GB HDD (RAID 0) 4 X DVD burners in a P180 case (behind the chair in that pic)

It's not really as dark as it looks, there's 200W worth of light on a track light in the room but I was standing right under it to take the pic so it was blocked.

That area is a fvcking mess, Jesus.

What? That "mess" is a nerd's work of art.

Is that a C-clamp holding that steering wheel to the desk? The wiring in the case is smokin! Bro , your setup is coo , don't let anyone give you a hard time about your Mona Lisa there.
: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

Amen on that! Your setup is bitchin':cool:-~ To cable management I always say 'what for - the electrons don't care how the cables look!?'

Game on!

I will have to post a pic of my desktop right after my kids are down with it for the weekend.:Q

I think most wanted was the best nfs I've ever played. Carbon is okay too.

I never miss one of these threads :p

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

Those who said they are not widescreen are correct. The resolution of the 30" is 2560 x 1600 and the 20" monitors are 1600x1200 (not wide). I like the proof picture though.
