Post your gaming setup!

[Marest]

I see that DrunkenValley and Marest put out some pretty amazing pictures of their stuff and I just wonder what camera do you guys use? Is it affordable and if not can you suggest a camera with similar picture quality that is?

Personally I have an iPhone 4, Canon EOS 350D and a Sony NEX 5N. At work I have a Canon EOS 600D and my colleague has a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

Most of the shots I have posted are either taken by the NEX 5N or the EOS 350D. The latter started to show artifacts and dead pixels which is why I picked up the 5N (the main shot of my current rig is with the 350D and it took some heavy photoshopping to remove all the dead pixels). The camera can only do so much though, lightning and setting is also extremely important. Use the natural light from the sun, some additional lights and play around with angles and you will eventually end up with something at least decent, even if the camera isn't great. Do note that imperfections usually means a shot will look "messy"; try to hide cables, unnecessary objects, etc for a more clean look.

Hey guys,

Here's my rig:

I was about to order a Titan, but I preferred the watch in my avatar ^^

Anyway:


3770k @ 4.7ghz
MSI N670GTX PE 2GD5/OC
Asus Maximus V Gene
Corsair Professional Gold AX850
Corsair Hydro i100
Corsair Dominator Platinum CMD16GX3M2A1866C9
BenQ XL2420T
IWC Ingenieur Double Chronograph Titanium

And the rest isn't quite that important...

Love this so clean!

Don't quote a full post with pics for one line response (read the first post (rules)).

Just make sure you have a tripod, and possibly one of those range-shutter triggers to eliminate any shaking.

Small money-saving tip:

Use the delayed shutter feature if your camera doesn't have a remote. When playing with my wife's D800, I set the timer so I can snap it, let go and won't shake it.

Ghetto-remote ftw.

So I was gonna post some updates but my phone decided to be a dick and corrupt the photos that I took during the install, so instead I'll just put up a photo of the finished product lol.

Job done, wrong color but I cant complain I suppose.

Added a second monitor, a Dell E2213H. I've had multi-monitor gaming setups in the past, but I always found the second monitor more annoying than useful... However, I've been using a multi-monitor setup at work and I've found myself wanting one at home as well. Luckily, more games now support Windowed (fullscreen) now, so it isn't quite as bad as it used to be.

Anyway, pics!





Now I need to decide whether or not I want a monitor stand.

[CheezusCrust]

It seems like we've got the same speakers, Noteworthy!

[Evil Inside]

Now I need to decide whether or not I want a monitor stand.

Well worth it IMO, looks nice and gives you a ton more space on the desk.

[CheezusCrust]

Have to agree with b0sanac.

Don't look at the advertised monitor size limit, but the actual weight itself. My Achieva is using a monitor stand only rated for 23", even though it's 27". (Unless you're getting one of those monitor stands that can carry multiple monitors)

[PunisherQc]

@CheezusCrust

Are you millionaire to have all those things xD

Awesome setup, and post picture of your netflix and all build ^^

[CheezusCrust]

I work hard, barely had any freetime the past few months. :P

Yeah I will, just need to find a case that fits with the build, needs to have room for a Hyper212 without a fan. We're drifting offtopic so I suggest we talk further in the Chat Thread

[PunisherQc]

Well it still computer build related ^^
I would have say http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6891
but you need a lot of harddrive place and this case only have 2x 3.5" slot

Edit
Still a cooler master
check this:
http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6852
I think you could have the room for the hyper 212 and for all your hard drives if get them tight =P

[DeltrusDisc]

Oh you two... <3

Props for going for a Crucial m4 SSD, Inux. Didn't know you got one! Maybe it'll die on you in a few PBs time. ;P

[noteworthynerd]

Well it still computer build related ^^

This thread is for posting setups and comments/questions directly related to them. He's right, take it to the chat thread or make a new one.

[PunisherQc]

Okay sorry then =(

@CheezusCrust
why Hyper212 without a fan?
And lets continue this in p/m

[shroudster]

finally


time for oc'ing
