My setup is geared more of a casual setup for all around use as a cable tv, a PS3, and, of course a pc. First my computer chair (notice the cutting board mouse mat).



Next the 70 inch Sharp tv adjusted for correct color for my work (and play). Also shown is my Rocket speakers and almost 15 year old tv stand that is showing it's age. If anyone can tell what they see in this picture that relates to a great series of 80's horror movies you will get a cookie.



Here you can see my Corsair pc box peaking out behind the tv plus some odds and ends along with my Steam controller that I just love.



And last we show what's inside that big Corsair box.

Impressive!

++++++++++

Love Warbird's vintage audio! thumbsup

I'm going to guess (probably wrong because it all looks the same)...

Integrated amp is a Scott?
Receiver (far right) is a Pioneer?

First and foremost it is my home cinema, but I also use it for some gaming, especially driving sims like rFactor2 etc. but I also use it for the PS3 as here:



Black and Dekker workmate is just the right height for the G27 wheel

I have tried Steelbeasts on it too but the image is just too big to be comfortable with and you lose that sense of immersion.

Nevermind, Warbirds. I clicked your pic and it took me to photobucket where you have better pics of your audio. Beautiful, man! That Scott is a piece of art!

Thanks, Scott is model 399 receiver made in 1960,,turntable is Empire made in 1960 and speakers are Wharfedale W 90's make in 1960. Love them tubes !

Thanks for the details, Warbirds. I recognized the Scott right off the bat (as distinct looking as an old McIntosh tube amp) but I didn't realize it included a tuner (in first pic I thought the right dial might be a selector). I looked up the other stuff you listed (which I admit I've never heard of), very impressive. This isn't some old console quality stuff, this is true vintage hi-fi! I hope it last you for many more years!

Thanks I wish I could move it out because it is a cool case but that is the only place I can fit it in for now.

So cool.

In case anyone is feeling bad about their pathetic setup compared to these mega monsters (and I think the OP is winning so far), I'll show you mine. You already know my internet is the lamest here, but so is my setup.

I may live in the 1980's but I'm computing in the new millennium, baby!...



But...just, most of my stuff is dated around the year 2000. sigh I'm going to upgrade after this online-activation fad passes (I'm very patient). smile

Warbirds-

I can almost hear that stereo in my mind.
There is Nothing like a true tube based HI-Fi system. Beats digital all to heck.
