Explanations would be great.

[Shamus]

the Intellimouse Explorer versions.

Da !

[Ricebowl]

What the hell was that crap that you called food in that picture?????

[Devil]

Ramen noodles with a base of chicken. Normally eaten in a soup format. But I like to eat those noodles dry.

[Shamus]

Dry Ramen noodles are yummy. :D

[brentech]

yeah, they seriously are.

i bought a box of 24 packs for college..heh, that that the semester ends, i have 1 pack still. but 3 days left..it shall vanquish soon enough :)

[Devil]

for a second I thought that I was weird.

[NMO]

http://wastedinfluence.com/misc/Setup3.jpg

[Threeboy]

Heh, the second picture has a drill and a pack of smokes?

[MulletMan]

I would take a picture for ya'all but my desk is way cluttered right now, and I'd have to a) clean it up slightly and b) find my digital camera and learn how to work it.

[NMO]

Heh, the second picture has a drill and a pack of smokes?
Someone complained that the first one was too clean, the second one was taken 4 hours after the first one, when I didn't move anything.

[Devil]

You make holes in your cigarettes ???? NMO = weird

[NMO]

Actually the drill has a nifty little screwdriver head, which I was using to open up the playstation (because it stopped working).

[Jae Reed]

how do u set it up to hav three monitors..?

[Shamus]

did you fix it?

[Threeboy]

how do u set it up to hav three monitors..?two video cards, the second one supports dual monitors, and then I run winXP cause win98 multi monitor sucks multiBalls.

[NMO]

Updated. Plugged them together as a network today, The main computer acting as the ICS (I think thats what it is called), both are online at the same time, on a 56k. :|

http://wastedinfluence.com/misc/Setup4.jpg

[Devil]

holy shit NMO, what are you doing on a 14" screen ? You surely suffer a lot with this hardware....

[NMO]

For your information, the laptop is the 14" (I think) and the actual computer is using a 15".

[Devil]

whatever, it is still freakin' small. I don't understand people that have 15" or 14" screens.

[Shamus]

$$ restrictions perhaps? :? I'm pretty sure noone would choose a smaller monitor by choice.

[NMO]

Shamus is correct, I sorta been spending money on something called a social life, and other miscellaneous things, I'm planning on upgrading the computer's real soon (Like a "Next on the list" thing).

[Battlechaser]

hey Im new to the forums !! Though this would be a good a post as any to start with ! Hope u liek the set up!

http://www.1digital.org/Stuff/ISeeEverything.jpg

Cheers

[brentech]

I think you'll be asked to resize that one..good lord.

[NMO]

No thats fine, I was talking about the desktops thread where everybody had images not resized like that, this one is actually quite quick to load as well.

[BlackFox]

Good god 5 moniters?
*Hails to Battlechaser*

[NMO]

It looks like a couple of them are laptops. Battlechaser could you take the picture again with some better lighting or a flash? It would make the picture clearer.

[Threeboy]

why do they all have the same image on them?

[Decoy]

They arent the same image. See the weapons? I think he was cheating!

[Battlechaser]

lol nonono No cheatign Look closer... And keep an eye on the building in the background. Notice how there are 6 diff people. They are all Me! There is 2 Laptops there and 2 Computers. Just all networked together ! Now you see?

[NMO]

I see three laptops.

[Battlechaser]

Hrmm... Were do u see 3 ? i assure you there is only two. Are u thinking that the Screen to the very left is another laptop? Its not its just a LCD, if your seeign that little Sticker below it. Thats My web Server Its flat (its about a inch and a half high) just sitting on the desk, so that may be were ur confused. In my next shot ill do it with my TV hooked up to it too!

[NMO]

Ok yeah, thats what got me.

[Jace101]

Me and my stoopid one monitor.
/me cries

[NMO]

Try me, I just figured out that devil was right, my monitor is actually 14".

[Jace101]

mines 17", i guess that aint that bad...at least compard to NMOs. Pity works wonders. :D

[brentech]

Heh - Yeah. I only have a 17" also...hoping that sometime in the near future I could get a 17" flat, but not sure about that.

[Devil]

Try me, I just figured out that devil was right, my monitor is actually 14".

I know everything. Even what you did last night at 11:30 pm with your socks.

[Shamus]

nice cases :) I wish I had lots of $$ to spend on tricked out comp parts :P

[Threeboy]

shamus, just keep allocating the extra $$$ to performance parts and you'll be happier ;)

remember people who care about how thier system's look buy macs! :D

[Devil]

but when your pc is the top of the top, a little paint, and UV glowing fans are required.

HAHA, i painted that blue computer, with 2 cans of $2 spray paint! (hence the dodgy job and scratchs)
Then i whacked a hug Clarion Car Audio sticker on the side :D
Whhhaaat??? Iwas bored as hell. :arrow: but it did get alot of attention at lans back in the days when i used to use it. :mrgreen:

[chrisv]

That is all too complex for me. Besides I love my beige box.

[Shamus]

I could tell it was a dorm (or a prison) by the brick walls. ;) :P

here's my workspace as of... I think christmas. It's changed at least five times since then. I dont have a digital camera, else I'd post a more recent pic.

[brentech]

One could say this is my new setup area :

Tricked out cases arent always expensive. I got a good one with a light and glowing front and side fan for $80.

Do those chairs have a little extra footing on the back so you can lean back on them or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

[chesh]

They are like 1/2 rocking chair. Some people I know on my campus lived in dorms and they were furnished with similar chairs. I always feel like Im going to tip over backward when I lean back!

[Xelopheris]

I would post mine, except my desk is so much of a mess I can't see one of my monitors.

[SileNceR]

god the mini-dv cam takes shit photos in photo mode lol...

kinda comparitive to how shit videos are on my digital still camera lol

[SileNceR]

my current set up as has been for a fair while is different to the above picture, i just forgot to update lol

here it is:
http://www.jedinights.com/jkeb/photos/setup.jpg

[chesh]

Isn't that desk on the right backwards?

[brentech]

Isn't that desk on the right backwards?
haha
i think you're right!

[Serious Sam]

See silencer's setup would have been nice if;

1- If his monitors weren't ancient looking, 2- his carpet was modern, and 3- he properly set up his power cords so he didn't have to go behind the computer (and light it up with a lamp) ;)

[Liquor_Riss]

And bigger speakers, bwahah! :D

[MulletMan]

That carpet is beautiful, shut up! :D

[-:snail:-]

Haha Xbox hat, I have a Xbox bennie, which is kind of too small.

[rocket.]

1) The desk isn't backwards, there is a space there for cables and as you can see a metal bar running across the back. ;)

2) The carpet does suck. :)

3) Those ancient monitors are ancient because who wants to hook up $300 monitors to a linux box and a windows server. :P

4) The light is there so that it lights up the wall, and so it doesn't hurt your eyesight staring at a computer screen in the darkness. :shock:

[SileNceR]

1) the desk TOP is backwards, but the frame is the right way - I like my arm space ty very much.

2) the carpet is going to be replaced in the not overly distant future

3) those monitors are sitting there because there is nowhere else to put them. They haven't been plugged in for a few months. LCD coming in the not so distant future.

4) as rocket said; some people value their eyesight - hence the light; and the $600AUD monitor.

L_R - if you haven't heard a set of Altec Lansing ACS45.1 Powercubes I suggest you do so before passing judgement on their size.

The XBOX hat is stretched over a PSU lol. (And the hat is too small also)

Serious Sam - the power cable situation is just fine down there; the light's positioning does as you noticed have the added effect of allowing greater visibility down there - but none of those cables end up being within reach of my feet (i usually rest them on the bar you see running along there); and i've got over a foot to work with when plugging stuff in - this setup is actually easier to pack-up and set-up for LANs than my previous setup where I could get around the entire back of the desk.

[chesh]

This is really messy cuz of school and I'm not cleaning it for the likes of you, but knock yourselves out! ;) :P

http://www.angelfire.com/wa3/swaldron/Office.jpg

[rocket.]

That looks pretty shweet to me, the only thing I don't like is the angle the monitor is on.

[Liquor_Riss]

L_R - if you haven't heard a set of Altec Lansing ACS45.1 Powercubes I suggest you do so before passing judgement on their size.
The names Liquor_Riss! :twisted: I don't care how good the quality is, I just like big speakers :D

It's a phallic thing...

[Liquor_Riss]

Yeah....I like to live life large ;) :P

I know what you're thinking Silencer.......my speakers also aren't all that big. I do occasionally use a PA system for my decks though :D

My new monitor, I also got a new desk, my computer upgrades will be coming within the week. So when it's all done, i'll take a photo of everything.

[zubaz]

that is HOT nmo, how much was it?

[Liquor_Riss]

The panda piggy bank is worth around £60 (Go XE it if you can't currency-translate in your head) ;) Also the flower holder-thingy is actually just a tin I found in a drawer, thought it might come in handy :P My workspaces are just a mix of guns, art stuff and music :D

[NMO]

that is HOT nmo, how much was it?
$620 AUD, Discounted from $697 AUD (http://www.xe.com/ucc/)
Mainly because I work at the place where I got it.

Wait, you're English and you have guns? Something's wrong with that picture.

[szkud]

Wait, you're English and you have guns? Something's wrong with that picture.
OMFG URE BULIT TUTHE R"NT U!?

What are the Great Britain's gun policies anyways?

[zubaz]

Wait, you're English and you have guns? Something's wrong with that picture.
I believe that's a pellet gun.

[NMO]

I got all my upgrades. I'm gonna post some pictures tommorow.
But in any case I've replaced some RAM, a CD drive, video card and a 2gb hard drive.
They have been replaced with a 120gb Harddrive, DVD drive, an Radeon 9200 128mb and a 258 mb RAM stick, will be getting another RAM stick next week.
This fucking rocks.

Firearms are illegal in the UK, even their standard police officers don't carry 'em.

"Guns don't kill people... I do."

[Liquor_Riss]

They're illegal depending on what you use 'em for....

Good to see you're clued up up my countries gun laws :D

Well, it's not that I'm up on it, it's just pretty well known that guns aren't legal in the UK. In what cases are they legal though?

I do have friends in other countries ya know. :) People (not all but some) seem to think all Americans are totally out of touch with every other nation, that's not fair or very true. I've maybe never been to too many other countries (Canada on vacation when I was like 6 or so) but it's not by choice. I"d love to visit England, it's one of the first places I'd visit given the chance.

Mike

[Liquor_Riss]

Well in cases such as hunting e.g. fox hunting, but due to an outbreak of treehuggers that might not be around for much longer. Some police officers in the UK carry guns, they just have to go on a big mental and physical training course, and legalities prevent them from hardly firing a shot.

I knew that certain police officers did carry guns there, but not your average bobby and come to think of it, yeah, I can picture fox hunts, but that's usually with a rifle right? It's handguns though, those would be next to impossible to own right?

It's not the best setup but it serves my purposes. CS! No, I do other stuff too but it runs CS pretty nicely.

[brentech]

NOMO pimpin out the new monitor! :P

Just be careful with that seagate drive, it should do fine, but if you get any problems with it...just make them give you money back.

I think you're getting confused with the old thread: PIMP YOUR RIG! by Shamus

[NMO]

Yeah. I have an excuse, I took a photo of inside my box.
NOMO pimpin out the new monitor! :P

Yeah, I got a three year warranty on it, so it should be fine.

A picture of my rig wouldn't be very interesting, it's just a gray box. But, this is the machine I had to return because it had issues.

http://www.thepyrographer.com/uploads/front1.jpg

http://www.thepyrographer.com/uploads/side_closeup.jpg

http://www.thepyrographer.com/uploads/front_closeup.jpg

Regretably the machine had major problems and had to be returned, at that time I came into extra funds and was able to afford an even better rig but no custom case for it. Eventually though when I start ripping it apart it'll look somewhat like this, but with a different temp display guage and so forth.

[chrisv]

That is a shame. But it is always better to have a working PC rather than a pretty one.

Holy jesus is there a reason for havinga ll those computers?

[Shamus]

..doesn't each computer need a monitor, MulletMan?

[AiM]

Heh, Threeboy. I wonder what you do with those 3 monitors
In the middle you play CS, in the right you use Photoshop for new projects and in the left you watch *cough* girls *cough* ;-)

The only guy that use 2-3 monitors I know has MAC, he edit movies
anyways, have fun with those 3 monitors, I know I would :-)

[AiM]

Nasa Control Center (AKA My room)

http://intellectweb.com/setup.gif

heh
which computer do you like the most? ;)

[cOnflictXX]

heh. glad yas like it. on the left i have my mac, where i do a lot of my photoshop / flash design
the one next to that is like my main computer. the fastest and with most of my programs on there (winxp) the one to the right of that is like an extra cs computer used when i want to play a lan with someone. then the one on the far right is my linux box used for php coding.
there's also a computer in both the rooms next to this one with cs on them so i have great lan parties here heh.

on the left of the mac (the wall) there's a desk that i do paperwork / homework on and shit too so it's basically half my room is filled with computers and desks.

but yeah it's pretty cool swingin my chair back and forth to each computer.

Oh I'm getting another one next month.

[Liquor_Riss]

Crazy :D

[AiM]

cOnflictXX, Heh.
You thought about everything, haven't you :o
IMHO, the MAC & Linux computers are pointless. You could do the photoshop the flash design projecs on the extra computer.
The PHP programming computer is pretty useless, how much do you program PHP a day, moreover, you could nicely program PHP on the extra computer as well. If you were coding in Perl, Phython etc - that's something else you would want linux for it. but a whole computer just for PHP? jesus. Windows is just fine.

From 4 computers you can leave 2 computers at the center..

Personally, I don't need this shit. Buy me a good laptop with Linux on it and I'm all set

[Liquor_Riss]

Its not shit! I'll eat your eyes out if you call it shit again!

Hello negative Nancy.
Get a life. :?

[Decoy]

hes got a point though. I mean having a computer JUST for php coding.

Id so just make that into an mp3 server for the house and just code on the fastest computer.

[chesh]

Yeah, use one as an entertainment center. All you need are some good speakers, a tv, a vid card with video out, and a tv tuner card. There ya go!

[funky]

If you all had the money and space for some extra computers you'd take them. Don't kid yourselves.

[DaT]

If you all had the money and space for some extra computers you'd take them. Don't kid yourselves.

I wouldent, i've got better things to spend money on, rather than PC's which i wouldent really need. ;)

[Liquor_Riss]

If I had enough money I probably wouldn't buy so many computers, maybe 1 or 2, and then just spend the rest on "assortments".

[Shamus]

Linux is st00pid. I can't can't even think of a good use for it other than coding some type of crap on it that requires linux, which wouldn't make much sense. :rolleyes: If I had lots of extra money, I'd probably spend it on my car.

[Decoy]

You know your a nerd when:

you have a computer with linux which is used to code PHP.

Linux is stupid if you're not going into a career that deals specifically with computers. I dont have it on my machine anymore..but I wouldn't even put it on my computer if I had no reason to learn it.
Software engineers/network administrators don't get jobs because they hate linux...

And yeah, having a computer to just code PHP on it..yeah, is stupid. But when computers or parts are givin to you - i think most people make use of them.

If you've got a whole machine tied up for linux, the smart thing would be to drop the linux and install a real copy of Unix, BSD for instance. Linux is just Unix Lite. What's the point if you've got the room and all for real unix on one of your rigs?

I use a Sparc for my Unix machine.

Neither do I. It was cool for a while, but then it started pissing me off when even though I set Windows as the default OS to boot, it always did Linux instead. :?

[cOnflictXX]

i use linux to learn the OS too. if you were an employer and were hiring, would you like the application that said "Known Operating Systems: Windows, Linux, Mac" or just "Windows"?

Plus, what do you want me to do with those 2 comps? They look cool, don't they?

[Shamus]

I never bashed "learning" linux, I think it's just pretty pointless for everyday, regular computer use.

[szkud]

When brent[ech] is over at bassic's we have four computers LAN'd two upstairs two down. It makes for great Age of Empires games. One team up stairs one team down.

Next time you're down here we should call up Enrique and Phelps for some gamage.

I'm going down there this weekend, but I'm not going to bring my computer for just a day or 2. Depending on what I do for winter break..i should though :P

[szkud]

i-ight, I'll try to keep the lines of communication open with everyone so we're all prepared to game at any moment.
By winter break I may have this house setup for LAN'ing. Four seperate computers in four seperate rooms

[Shamus]

Isn't it funner when lanning.. to have everyone in the same room?

[szkud]

Both ways has it's pro's and cons. I'm speading it all over so that i can get on all over the house. one in the kitchen, living room, drafting room, and the hub in my bedroom. Since the hub is in my bedroom I could have everyone in my room but it's kinda full of instruments, since it's where I record.

Oh and my 51cm flatscreen TV (LG) was only AU$425 :D

[Xelopheris]

Wow, that's a lot for a 21 inch flatscreen.

[brentech]

Yeah. Not sure what that equates to in USD..but my 20" flat was normally $299 about a year and a half ago
I got it for $215 though..since I worked at the store.

[rocket.]

425.00 AUD = 306.645 USD
Australia Dollars United States Dollars

It's a good brand, I'm not going to go down on quality just to save a couple of bucks :P

[chesh]

That's a wicked setup Rocket. My desk is huge and I hate it.

[Devil]

[andeer]

That's pretty cool, Devil.

[rocket.]

Not bad Devil, But I hate those damn keyboard drawer things! :P

[Devil]

Yeah, that's what I though before I had my desk, but it's ok, I have enough space to do whatever I need to do... gaming, working, etc.

[Liquor_Riss]

I have a keyboard drawer. If you ever need to think up new profanity put your head under the desk and push the drawer at yourself as hard as you can.

[szkud]

or hit it once and have to spend the rest of the life of that desk holding it with your knee

[rocket.]

Speaking from past experience? :P

[chrisv]

Oil up the rollers. Then they fly in and out!

[rocket.]

I don't think that's the point... :P

[Liquor_Riss]

My rollers have big fuckoff bits sticking out at the back with nothing to stop the drawer, so everytime I push it the wall gets twatted :o

[Invictus]

What kind of camera do you have, brentech?

[brentech]

It's a Canon Powershot S200, Digital Elph
I use supercompression and 1600x1200 for all photos

[Liquor_Riss]

Haha I like the strategically placed armchair in front of the TV, mark of a good host ;)

[Shamus]

wait a minute.. all the chairs are facing the TV!

[Liquor_Riss]

wait a minute.. all the chairs are facing the TV!
Meh, maybe its just some crazy American setup then, but the bloke who sits on the side of the couch closest to the TV will have a hard time of it.

[MulletMan]

You compress from 1600? How do you get it so CLEAR!?

[brentech]

You compress from 1600? How do you get it so CLEAR!?
Because I'm magically delicious. :P

[MulletMan]

Can I have a taste?

[brentech]

Can I have a taste?Sorry man, women only. :D

[Kewl Whip]

Wow! A picture of someone with a RED SHIRT AND BLUE TROUSERS! TOO COOL!

No, thats a picture of me I did on MS Paint. I just sliced it in half to fit it.

is that a flatscreen! cookass!

Yep!

Is that actually part of your room?

You betcha! Only the lamp is actually bigger, and I have more things on my desk.

Why didnt you take a real picture, you lazy ass!

Because I am lazy and I dont feel like asking my dad to use his digital camera. It's also not as fun as it is when you draw it on ms paint.

I finally got off my ass and got a new desktop for myself, as my 1.0 Ghz Duron just wasn't cutting it anymore. As you can see from the above picture, I've got it in a Xaser III case, and it's hooked up to two monitors (one good, one blah). I'm loving it. *g*

Here's the stats from my new desktop:

Thremaltake Xaser III v1000D Steel Blue
Antec 380W TruePower Power Supply
Intel P4 2.4C 800mhz FSB
Asus P4P800-DX Motherboard
Maxtor 80GB SATA 8MB Buffer Hard Drive
ATI Radeon 9800 XT 256 MB Video Card
2 x 256 MB DDR400 RAM
LG 52x24x52x CD-RW / 16x DVD Combo Drive

It's running pretty sweet, I'll have all the details posted to my Toys (http://www.jezzjournal.com/toys/) section later today.

Finally sold my sony vaio on ebay for $937. In about 2 days www.newegg.com should be sending me my gforcefx5900SE, AMD Athlon XP 2800 "barton", Seagate 80 gb, Asus nforce2 A7N8X-E Deluxe, 2 Kingston 512 sticks, new fans, and a nice silver Chieftec case. I will be sure to take pictures after I get it all together. :D

The Xaser case seems to be your pride and joy ;) I can understand though, those bad boys are expensive. From the pictures it looks like it pushes some serious air

[scooter]

I got mine about 35% off. It was great.*g* It's going to real easy to overclock.

[Jamblo]

the xaser thing is a little over the top though, isn't it? it looks like a ricer-car.

[Shamus]

boy oh boy, if you think that's a "riced" out computer..

[Mr.Penguin]

Those cases arent alluminum, so heavy! If you plan to overclock or anything, I would get a bigger power supply.

[Jace101]

A Brad Pitt fan. Can't argue with you there, he's done some kickass movies.

[carter127]

Thremaltake Xaser III cases are the shit!

[scooter]

I really enjoy the case, I bought it for it's features for the price. It's a great box. Some people think it's ricey, but I really don't think so. :)

[Shamus]

water cooling is ricey :p

[SileNceR]

how so?
water cooling is functional; neons, cathodes and windows are ricey.

[Shamus]

water cooling requires neons, cathodes and windows :D

[scooter]

I don't have water cooling. I just have seven fans. And Silencer is right, Ricey is having a thousand windows and a thousands stickers with no functionality. My box has functionality. To contain and cool my computer.

[Threeboy]

i dont care what the case looks like, it's what's on the inside that counts :D

[chrisv]

Says the man with the ugly case. I should know, mine is fugly. It is really bad.
It was sitting at the top of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down when it fell.

[Jamblo]

Mine sits under my desk where no one has to see it.

[Threeboy]

Says the man with the ugly case. ;_;

[omgwtfdan]

To me, whats inside the case is the most important thing.
The second is how the case looks. I want a window, neon lights, 8 neon fans, and a temperature gauge wouldn't hurt. But before i pick out how the case is going to look I make sure it's damn good stuff under the hood.

[Chav]

What confuses me, is how do you use emm all? There must be a way to change emm when using?

[omgwtfdan]

Use all of what?

[Shamus]

If you have a power supply with enough connections, you can use all of them at once! :p

[omgwtfdan]

What the hell are you people talking about?

[Shamus]

I thought this thread was about your setup, not just your computer stats.

Setup meaning: a picture of your desk, mouse, keyboard, computer, monitor, anything on the desk, anything you would like to show us.

Stats are nice, but a picture is nicer!

[nemesis]

Keep your speakers away from the screen (same goes for TV's), there's magnets in there that can make the screen go wonky if they're too close together. My friends TV did that and it permenantly fuggled up.

[smackzor]

Awwww Budderfly... you beat me to it! :p

Yep. thats my shitty little 10W Squier Amp (It's got a red audio lead sitting ontop of it). I'm planning on buying a new one sometime, it was good for learning though.

Yeah, I've got one of them. It's not THAT bad. The sound you get out of it, however quiet it may be, is pretty crisp. The overdrive is alright too. I've had a 25w Park amp for about a year now, which I borrowed from a friend. I'd definately recommend going down that route, while you're still learning, save spending a bomb on a decent amp.

What colour is your Squier then? They are great guitars for learning. I've had mine for about three years now.

I would never buy a dell box, but the lappy's are good. You got wireless lan going yet? I have :D

[brentech]

I would never buy a dell box, but the lappy's are good. You got wireless lan going yet? I have :D
Yeah, I didn't even really want to have to by a dell notebook, but i just needed something to get the job done. It's only going to get used for papers, some small programming, and internet when away from the apartment. Won't use it for much else really, as I purchased it with a 2.6Ghz celeron knowing all this. On the upside..it does have 512 ram.
But yeah, the only way to get internet in my apartment complex is wireless, so as soon as I pick up my pcmcia wireless card from my friend, it'll be set for that ;)

[Shamus]

Oh, so it's Nemo's internet I've been using!

[NMO]

I'm gonna showoff my speaker setup.
I can't shuttup about the speakers I just hooked up to my laptop. It's an old 12 year old system I think, my father gave it to me a fair old while ago because he bought a new one. The box part is basically just acting as my amplifier (60watts), the two speakers are 100watts, it's sounds fucking awesome, I'm gonna try and find a better system, throw out this old box and keep the speakers and have that all going :D. Some how it sounds way better than the 6 month old 5.1 sound system my mother has. Pictures for comparison;
What I have setup:
http://nomoreoptions.net/misc/speakers.jpg
The 5.1 system:
http://nomoreoptions.net/misc/51speakers.jpg
I would recommend this to anyone, but it alo proves how good older stereos can be. Just use one of these (http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/41cf871011053c16273fc0a87f9c06b1/Product/View/C1240) to hook them up.

DOUBLE POST.
But anyway, I ended up re-arranging everything. Got pics too.

Do you have your rear channel speakers up front?

[Pepi]

yes, unfortunately, i have no where else to put them, i gotta build a platform or something, btw, next time, take the image tags off in a quote, it saves space
