Where's the Wacom tablet hiding ;-) I noticed the pen on the desk. I use one wayy to often. Nice setup though! Cheers

Its in the cupboard thing behind the desk, there's like an open shelf where I put it when not using it, trouble is its the intuos 4 large so I can't always store it out on the desk :D. What one do you have?
 
Very nice, so you game on 2 monitors? I find the black edge between the 2 monitors a bit distrating with this setup, because it's right in the middle, unless you game one one monitor that it's fine, or 3 monitors is a lot better too.

I game on 1 monitor, how do you even game on 2? If I were to get 3 monitors then I'd make sure they had thin bezels but for now I love my monitors despite the thicker bezel :D
 
Looks sick dude! love my U2412M did you find you had to fiddle around with the settings to get a decent picture?

I did, a lot!, I'm very fussy about colour accuracy and I used to own a sypder 4 pro but it was faulty and haven't had any spare money to buy another so until then I have to do it by eye and with the restrictions of no same monitor being the same colour sets me back matching them. Alas though I will be purchasing a spyder 4 again and properly colour correcting it. Sorry for the waffle :)
 
Have you guys tried the ICC Profiles from tftcentral? I'm using the same monitor and I've tried to compare the ICC from tftcentral with my Spyder4Pro calibration and I can hardly notice any differences.

Yeah, many versions of them, all of them in fact :). Every monitor is different and when you have two of the same it makes it very difficult because each profile looks different on either monitor therefore you can't tell which one is correct. Best I can do is save up for another spyder4 calibrator and have at least one of the monitors colour accurate.
 

Is that the Cataclysm mousemat you have there? I have basically the same one, but it's WotLK. I usually use my Corsair MM600 but it's too awkward on my desk at home, so I use the WoW one when not at uni. I've not played it in ages though, and I always get a little craving to go back on, but it's just so expensive and time consuming to play :/

What is this 2nd rig, in the picture here?

That is a cataclysm mouse pad, the goblin edition. I used to own the death wing version but sold it. I know what you mean, I really enjoyed it but as you said, money...

Specs:

CPU - Intel i5 2500k (stock clock, haven't gotten around to oc'ing it yet)

HDD - 1TB WD (I think its WD, can't remember)
Case - Corsair 300R

Sweet :) If you have enough time to put into the game, then I don't think the cost is too bad, but I just don't have that time any more. I'll maybe try play a couple of months after each expansion comes out to just play through new content, but there'll be no hardcore raiding days again xD

I have the Intuos 5, mainly using it for Zbrush and Maya. I really want the new Intuos pro though its wireless which would be nice.
