    AMD loyalist been waiting a decade to upgrade...how did I do?

    My Ultimate PC + Controllers Gaming Rig

    While I am building a htpc setup, this is the PC gaming and hardware forum, and pc gaming and hardware is specifically what I have been working on lately and what I have showcased here, so it's incorrect to say my post is in the wrong forum.

    My Ultimate PC + Controllers Gaming Rig

    Well I think tanks are more like the controls of the arcade game battlezone? two sticks. unless they've changed them in the modern era. I would like the wheel to work in bf3 but more for the jeeps, humvees, armored personel carrers, mobile artillery/anti-aircraft vehicles

    My Ultimate PC + Controllers Gaming Rig

    Hey guys don't make the mistake of judging a project by a single phase in its production. It isn't about where it is right now, it's about where it can be when it's finished. A great sculptor like Michelangelo did not look at a rough hewn block of stone and say "wtf that's stone age man what a...

    My Ultimate PC + Controllers Gaming Rig

    Actually below that shelf there is another shelf in an L shape so there is still room for some stuff. I was thinking one of these Nostalgia movie/circus popcorn machines, and I've got a toaster/pizza oven and a nice Kenmore mini fridge for cold drinks. But yeah, people would have to walk...

    My Ultimate PC + Controllers Gaming Rig

    Hey gang I got inspired by some of the other builds in the HTPC thread and decided to rearrange the components on the back shelf. It's symmetrical with smallest to tallest and back to smallest again (speaker, subwoofer, computer tower, receiver/consoles, speaker). I realize most people...

My home entertainment center downstairs is still a work in progress, the only communal activity done down there right now is band practice.
