if im not mistaken the N73 series (the 25billion colors) actually has an LG screen neways

but.........the samsung has a much higher contrast ratio @ 6000:1 instead of the LGs 1600:1 but i don't know how many colours the R88 has....

Personally I'd rather have a Samsung screen - they look nicer and I've always liked Samsung stuff

aye, not only that, it was like an inch thick, so things like doors got kinda sticky.

took a 6 man team to lift and move that carpet, its now in the conservatory until we decide wtf to do with it lol.

for once i'll have to throw away my misconception that mouse mats are useless and say that its awesome.

it has really helped with accuracy in games, and tbh, its nice to have a large surface that isn't cluttered (it just kinda creates a boundary box for your mouse).

so id say.......GET IT! lol.

i got mine in Brasil, grossly overpriced, but meh.

Very nice work mate, looks damn sexy

 

[cybermaniac]

here are some preliminary shots of the speaker system

its one hell of a mess atm, but thats because I'm testing them before i string them up (bit pointless making it all look tidy and neat and then finding out they don't work lol)

(PC is open due to me having to change the jumpers around for the S/PDIF).

tidy up of cabling and speaker mounting should begin latest on wednesday (hopefully monday after work)

Breakdown:

Mordaunt Short 902i £149.95 (Fronts)

Mordaunt Short 903i £179.95 (Rears)

Mordaunt Short 905i £119.95 (center)

rear wiring = £35.76

front wiring £69.86

center wiring £2.49 (only needed 1 meter)

3x digi coax cables £59.85

RCA coupling (to hook up 2x digi coax cables) £5.99

Speaker Brackets x4 = £39.90

total = £663.70 :S

 

[FarFarAway]

mmmmm Looks damn sexy - that will sound lush

 

[FragTek]

30" Dell + TV Tuner + lots of hard drive space = pwnage TV / DVR setup

Edit: Looks like I came in late on this one Nice setup you got going on there, love the new audio setup.

 

[cybermaniac]

ok guys

last pics

I've tried to make the cabling as tidy as poss on that...

spot the speaker cabling

my bonsai roxx

only real bit of speaker cabling one can find.......due to a change of plans, we had like 2 meters of wiring left

the fronts are bi-wired, and there is no bass going to the rears.

im leaving my fronts + center to do the bass. It's doin a damn good job of it as well

 

[FarFarAway]

nice mate, good work

 

[Doddsy]

Very sweet. That is some audio set up you got there!

 

[Ty07allstar]

Very nice job. Very lucky to have that all in your room.
