Cables still need some work but its my first try at cable management.

[DeltrusDisc]

At Cyanotical's suggestion, I checked out monoprice.com and finally got something I've been wanting for ages. A dual monitor stand. Also got some new cables you shall see. The DL-DVI did make it so I could overclock my Acer S211HL, but at 70Hz refresh rate, the image became illegible. Anyways, onto pictures!

Here is the mess beforehand. Going to try and keep it from getting like this in the future.


Here is the beer that helped me through the whole process! If any Germans here or anyone who speaks German can tell me what this translates to, I'd love to know! Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock - Brauerei Heller-Trum / Schlenkerla


I didn't expect such a large box...



The cables were all individually wrapped and very well packaged! I must say, these cables are lovely and just look the part!


They are monsters. Here is comparison with my 3.5 inch to 4 inch Remington knife.


Audio cables compared side by side... just sad. Just sad.


New audio cables plugged in the back of the studio monitor - beautiful!


What a lovely clean box!


Orange.


That is some really good packaging, if I do say so myself...


Had to take off a back piece of my desk (just a little thing) that was blocking me from hooking on the stand. >_<


All better!


Mom was sick so my dad ordered up the best pizza ever - Giordano's Chicago-style pizza! We didn't do deep dish since it was already after 7PM, but I do LOVE their thin crust as well. Black olive, mushroom, and onion - love it!


Stand assembled!


Going VESA on my Acer S211HL.


Acer is up... and tilted! The mounting system is actually great, it's one of those ball ones where you tighten the clamp on the ball when you have it affixed how you want it!


The Gateway is fat but at least not as painfully bright on white images, so I still use it as my second monitor. 4+ years strong now so far!


Both up and you can sorta see me! :P


All put up save the mic and webcam.


Mic and webcam included.


And that's it! Hopefully this has made you see the light and you'll now buy! Check out www.monoprice.com! Those cables were $3-5 each!
THANKS TO CYANOTICAL FOR THE SUGGESTION OF MONOPRICE!!!

That looks great!
And I want that beer!

[Evil Inside]

Pretty good setup there deltrus, I havent bothered tidying up the cables at the back of mine though I probably should lol.

Thanks! Justified this to my parents by going: "well now I can actually do homework on my desk because there is room!"
It is really really good. ;o Smokebeer... literally, liquid smoke!

Can you get the monitors closer to each other?

[DeltrusDisc]

I might do a little bit, but then I'll find out I'm going to some random LAN party or I want to move stuff and taking them back apart is a pita. So. =/

Can - still debating if I want to. Since I don't do dual monitor gaming or whatever, it doesn't matter as much to me. Plus the webcam is pretty snug there on the stand, so it works!

This actually never occurred to me lol.

Here's a better picture of the desk a few weeks back or so:



So you can really tell, getting those monitors up in the air and taking out those ugly stands opened up A LOT of space, seriously.

Drink that unopened Duvel to the right, I'll send ya a new one :>

[DeltrusDisc]

Don't be silly - it's been opened and drank! Save the Duvel though, I wasn't the biggest fan. I know, blasphemy, but I've had better ales. :P Guess it's not my style.

Also, I have this, that shows more that's better seen in video form!

Looking good dude, like the video of your setup too.

[DeltrusDisc]

Thanks Notarget! It really is nice having my desk all clean.

You're welcome. By the way look what santa had for me and before you ask, yes I haven't actually been home since x-mas



This is the monitor, if it wasn't obvious from the picture:

LG IPS237L-BN

[DeltrusDisc]

/drool

I want an IPS display or 120Hz so badly.

And for only $260 from one of the top monitor manufacturers... sigh. Wish I could find a job. =/

[Fallen Angel]

My 32 inch TV and my 23 inch monitor

Front of the case

Inside the case (basically a before since I'm waiting on my upgrades)


My case is pretty dirty, but it will be MUCH cleaner once I get all my new parts.

Nothing fancy, Phenom II x4 925, HD 5670, Raidmax Typhoon case

That is A LOT of dust/dirt, do you clean ever?
