What is your setup like?

Ok if you liked my post about me making my wife still drive the 89 Ford Escort you'll like this.

I'm still using a wooden kitchen chair. I was using the captains chair for awhile but I switched to just a regular one. I'm still too cheap to even get myself a decent chair to sit in.

1 Desktop
1 TV
Blackboard

I am looking to move to Louisville very soon and get a whole new pad and set up.

rolemand · 09-11-06, 06:55 PM

What's in Louisville JJ?

jjgold · 09-11-06, 07:16 PM

Met a girl on a dating line, she said I can move in with her. I never met her but it is clicking through e-mail very nice. We exchanged photos and it looks good on both ends.

Hope things work out for you!

jjgold · 09-11-06, 07:49 PM

My 14 year old friend Teddy put $1500 on them and I did too, we are partners on the game.

I'm with you on that. I'm a Cowboy fan so I'm rooting against the Redskins.

Does it take much to figure out how to set that up? I'm not a tech guy at all but it sounds awesome and I'd love to do something like that but I'm clueless.

3 21 inch dell regular size
1 24 inch dell wide screen
Two custom computers, two monitors on each.

Notebook computer in addition.

No TV as I just moved and don't have a good setup for one at the moment.

I work off a Dell XPS Notebook (has 17" widescreen display). I needed a loaded notebook so I can have the power of a desktop. I sometimes hook up to a 18.1" SONY LCD.

I just recently bought a 46" SONY LCD (none projection), and have yet to hook up to that yet. Im sure it will look nice when I do.

When I get us into a house, currently in a apartment, I will get back to building me desktops every year or so to keep up with the new technology.

pc: 1 6-month old HP w/ 17" flat monitor on wall

tv's: 1 30" flatscreen/widescreen
1 27" tube (non-hd games)

2 3'x6' dry erase boards (these scare my girlfriend, "looks like you've been doing the math equations of a nuclear bomb"

)

and one wall covered in corksheets that's used as a huge bulletin board.

seems like everybody are pros !

Chalkboards are a must if you take this game serious and you cannot have women around.

Most pros have ZERO women and that is the way it should be.

I learned a long time ago that you simply never lie to them and everything is fine. I lay out it out real plain and simple: I don't believe marriage as a social construct is necessary, and children are nothing but an obstacle between me and retirement at age 45. As far as gambling goes, I just say "look, some men spend tens of thousands of dollars and weeks out of every year hunting, fishing, etc. My hobby is gambling. It's no different than someone spending hours every day trading stocks. And the rate of return is higher if you do it right." If she hangs around after that, she's a keeper.

didn't take much. i put in a second video card, second video card had dual outputs so i could put monitors 2 and 3. then computer was running sluggish cos' i was running a lot more stuff so i threw in a gig of ram. last thing i did was download ultramon. awesome application if you have multiple monitors. that was bout it.

pags11 · 09-12-06, 02:50 PM

I've got a 3 year old Dell, 21 inch monitor...DSL connection, 2 TV's in my office and a radio as well...works pretty well for me...

SBR_John · 09-12-06, 03:20 PM

You have to have dual monitors and a $350 leather chair.

JoshW · 09-12-06, 04:20 PM

John some of us are too big for leather.

Need something that breaths.

jjgold · 09-12-06, 05:21 PM

I always felt dual monitors slowed your pc down

pags11 · 09-13-06, 03:37 AM

I just have an office depot chair...

onlooker · 09-13-06, 03:39 AM

I have the coach, floor, barstool, and where ever I can get comfortable with my laptop.

Dave · 09-13-06, 08:34 AM

$500 chair. $2500 desk. three 17 inch monitors, 1 42 inch plasma TV connected to my video out on my computer, 1 laptop and 1 tablet.

Its a sick setup.

gummo · 09-13-06, 08:41 AM

I just got a 19" lcd after years of a 15" piece of junk. Feels like I've moved out of the stone age. Compaq tower pc is about 5 years old so I'm close to upgrading that to a new lap top. Cable internet, too.

Nice setup there Dave, the plasma on the wall is nice. I think it is easier just to buy a laptop as the second screen plus it is a second computer than buying just a screen and taking up computer resources.
