Well, I don't know who you are, but if you're reading this, THANKS!  You're a generous soul.   I dressed up all fanboy-ish just for you:



Looking forward to ME3.

That is THE GREATEST setup I have ever seen in my life. Wha;slkdfjas;ldkfjasl;dkfjasl;kdfj;aklsdfj;alsjkdf

I'm practically crying. I'm playing on a 17" monitor that sits on a nightstand next to a couch, with a  radeon 4650. You have two monitors, what appears to be a kickass computer, kickass speaker system, with almost everything a Mass Effect nerd could ever want.

Frakksurred I just noticed you deleted the photo of your daughter but it's still there in my post from where I quoted you. I'll delete it so no one can oogle her! (lol)

I changed my mind. Keep posting pictures and stuff so I can find you and steal your gear ../../../images/forum/emoticons/devil.png

If I was in your shoes (and about 20 years older) I'd be taking those comments as compliments. 

Oh I am thoroughly enjoying this, are you kidding me, lol.  I could listen to this all day long.

I just went to that blog or whatever, and good Lord, that is beautiful. I'm trying to hold back the jealousy even more.

Heh, I've seen crazier. Much crazier. But it is very nice.

Also...are those two computers hooked together? What's goin on there?

Don't think they're hooked to each other.

You have a nice setup. With all the updates you've done, that's got to be running up into the $10k range by now?

At one time there were three 30" monitors in ATI's Eyefinity (7680x1600), like so:









My main computer (powder coated) did the gaming chores across all three monitors.  However I also had the two outside monitors hooked up to the second computer so I could switch inputs in order to do server and teamspeak hosting duties and the like.  It's all in the worklog I linked earlier.

And uh... yeah, the price tag is up there.

Well having played most of my ME playthroughs on an old AGP card

Ouch.

(just recently upgraded), that is like paradise to me.

Awesome.

Whenever I feel like drooling over insane PCs, I go to Danger Den. Some crazy s#%$ there.

Danger Den is the epitome of "We do it because we can, and it is good."

No doubt, some of those rigs make mine look pre-historic!  I'd love to water-cool, but dang... what I've got has cost me enough already!  I know it looks nice now, but that took me FOREVER to piece together paycheck by paycheck.  I really want to do a new build for BF3, but I can't justify it.  There were special circumstances when I built this beast initially (town flooded -> 1.5 years of over-time recouperating); not so easy now.

All I have is a laptop. >_>

If I look at 'em too much, it just starts to hurt. I always kinda skipped over the fancy-rig-edition in my Maximum PC subscriptionp.

I don't mind the shiny. I'm just absurdly jealous of the people that have the time/skill to do insane builds like that. They don't even have to be particularly powerful, just amazing. Like the Lego build.

Yeah, I know how that feels. My budget for my new PC is only $1,500. I really, really want to wait for Ivy Bridge to come out from Intel, but I just cannot give up those Newegg Black Friday prices this time. Missed out last year and ended up way overspending.

Yeah, they always had some crazy
do-it-yourselfer in there. I'm no designer (when it comes to physical
objects, at least) so I always found the different things cool as
well.

The Lego build was pretty awesome, I loved the crane, lol.

I want to do things like that. My professors would kill me if I started lego-ing up the labs, though.

@Frraksurred You are in your 40?!
I'm 18 and I look older than you...
Or you are a well preserved man or I'm made a ruin

Also, is it wrong I noticed your Cosmos
S case out of everything else initially? I've always wanted to get one,
though now I'm looking at a HAF 932 Full tower case

There are actually twin Cosmos S', one of which I had powder coated.  Love 'em, awesome cases, though a bit pricey.

Neofelis Nebulosa wrote...

@ Vertigo:

Go with HAF932 Advanced or HAF X. Those things are really good, spacious and offer good airflow for cooling.

Good recommendation, though you can't really lose with any of the HAF's, those are definitely the stand outs.

Yeah, Advanced is what I'd like to get, X is a little pricey for me.

Heh, getting OT here :happy:

[patocerda]

Lucky you.

That's awesome man, both the little fan-service and the setup.

Enjoy!

[Mako Zalos]

Awesome, just awesome. I salute you good sir.

Okay, lol... is this better?  I even linked it to a 1920x1200 shot so you could see the gray in my hair.



Some nice backgrounds by the way.  I already had all the "official" ones, but the Normandy shots especially were nice finds.  Thanks for the links, I've a new Win7 slide show now. <3

Very awesome what someone at BioWare did for you! And awesomer you posted about it here!! But I must ask, where did you get that awesome desktop wallpaper from? I know it's the picture of the Alliance SR-2 that comes with the N7 Collector's Edition, but I have not found a digital copy that size.

[LadyofRivendell]

This just made me love BioWare even more Congrats, buddy!

What's your video card setup? Am I seeing three seperate cases? I now feel like a damned Russian serf with my single 1920x1200 monitor. Also, you remind me of this for some reason.
