Post your gaming setup!

Negative. The HAF X embodies everything I disagree with when it comes to computer-cases.

And what would that be? I'm curious to know now.

He's going to say what everyone has told me who doesn't like the HAF cases....

"It's ugggglyyyyyyy waaaa"

Seriously, I think the HAF cases look monstrous and mean. I don't care if they look "slick" or "hip" or not, I want them to tell people who will never see them that I mean business! >:O

As a great philosopher once said.... "beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder."

As promised, I have bad pictures taken with my bad mobile phone.


Yes, that is a CRT screen.

Will get a proper picture of the insides when I have the time.

Generally speaking, internet toughguys who post two pictures of two beautiful, yet different photos of a gaming setup such as yours are lieing out their ass. Not saying you are, but you can provide us with proof before claiming you're "so and so" in "demographic".

here's the first one cockpit that was built...extremely crappy:

the only reason i gave you a 'toughguy' response is cause of your ignorance. if you really think that 'generally speaking' internet toughguys just post random pics of things that do not belong to them, then you spend too much time on the computer.

ooooh, but wait. since i now linked 3 'different' setups, that must not be mine.

If that's yours, I'm incredibly jealous. And it's happened before. Let's not sidetrack the thread with an argument. If that is your setup, it's beautiful. That's all that matters.

fair enough. thanks.

it wasn't expensive to build at all, just bought drainage pipes at a local home depot, some wood that we cut to appropriate size, and obviously nuts n bolts. The chair itself is from my brothers mazdaspeed 3 which he uses to race but doesn't use for street driving (legally, you need a passenger seat, but for the types of races he doesn't, it's legal to have a missing seat. Take out seat to balance the car's weight, etc etc.)

Here are pictures for his setup, nice case and cable management!

[Brandizzle]

Thanks! Although I do have to give the case most of the credit for the cable management. One of these days I am going to get around to sleeving everything, its just so time consuming.

Oh, and please excuse the tangle of cables behind the desk. Waiting until I get a new desk before I tackle THAT cable management.

[Affiniti]

Dell 2209WA actually.

Rest of the rig is in my comment, i'll pull the PC out and take some shots of it in a few :-)

Portrait mode user, don't the lines bother you?

A great setup to try later down the line is 1 2560x1600 30 + 2 1600x1200's

[Affiniti]

Portrait mode user, don't the lines bother you?

Actually no -- I generally do not notice it during combat. Honestly I enjoy it a lot more than landscape with all 3 as WOW stretches it all out and doesn't look so good -- as well as in Portrait mode things are larger and crisper. Never really annoyed me tbh


Also bear in mind that for nvidia surround to work you have to use 3 monitors of the same resolution.

Yea I tend to use landscape, since its better for most other types of games.

I'm fairly sure that if WoW supported landscape I'd be using it -- unfortunately widescreen gaming is still in it's infancy so will be a decent while before every game supports it.
