Hunter wanted to see my setup and I'm bored so I thought "meh, fine then". Sorry for the iffy camera quality, took these on my phone. Probably nowhere near as impressive as people would expect.

My computer. That blue main light can change to bright pink, teal, green, orange, red, pale pink or a cycle between all 7 colours. Also some plugs and wires.

Keyboard, monitor (22" to be replaced by 24" or 27" in a few months), speakers, mouse, external drive, headphones, shitty microphone, PS3 controller (behind the monitor, next to the left speaker). That hole in the wall on the right side is where the Sky box in my room connects to a phone line.

Subwoofer for computer speakers, lots of plugs and wires.

Inside of computer, natural light level. The blue is from an LED fan at the top of the case.

Inside of computer, using flash. The big red thing is the graphics card I'm replacing when the other one arrives this week.

TV, PS3, Sky+ HD box, stereo system, earphones and their proximity to the computer.

In the background, one of the two speakers connected to the speaker system from the previous pic.

That's pretty impressive Sweey. I wasn't able to see it at work cos photobucket is blocked on there. :faceplm: I really could do with a proper desk for my laptop but I currently just use whatever surface I can find and improvise with the surface for the mouse. My room is an absolute tip at the moment so I won't be showing my set-up just yet.

I bet my inch perfect passes to Original? look magnificent on that big TV. :smug:

Just noticed my sandwiches in the penultimate pic. Lovely stuff!

Nice set up - it mirrors mine a little bit in how compact things are together. Although you trump mine as I don't have a TV in my room. :faceplm:

I will post my set up when I get home, if I remember to take some photos. Good idea for a thread.

The speakers I have are so big they might require two photos for each one.

awesome setup, I love it and your noctua cooler is HUGE... you tried going for a watercooling setup? and what graphics card are you using at the moment?

I've since bought a 1GB HD 5850 and 27" monitor. I've looked at watercooling but I'd probably need a new case and can't be bothered with all the reading I'll need to do beforehand on reviews of radiators etc. as well as any maintenance/upkeep of the system.

just buy a corsair h50-1, its easy to assemble and you won't need a new case for it either, its an all in one cpu watercooling solution and you can overclock an i7 upto 4.2ghz!!!

damn a 5850 is nice... looks like you wont need to upgrade anytime soon.

Very nice setup you have there Sweey! first time I've seen this...

I'd post my setup up but I haven't got a camera to do so. I'd use my mobile phone if I could find the USB cable for it to upload the pics :faceplm:

But if I did happen to post pictures up, let's just say there'd be no contest who'd win a "Setup battle" if there was one :ninja:

Don't get me wrong though, I like my room a lot; I have the PC, which I'm typing on now, to the right corner of my room and then there's the TV in the left corner. I'm sitting on a chair right now in a position where I can comfortably switch between the two.

Hence why sometimes you hear me, through the headset, typing and playing Clubs at the same time, ha!

This picture is a bit old, since then I've replaced my Dell laptop with an Acer and have purchased a PS3 slim.
