I have dual 2405s
Two computers and a xbox 360 are hooked up to them

One computer is for gaming/browsing the net/video editing
New coolmaster stacker case
amd x2 4400
7800 GT
2 gig ram
X-Fi Fatality edition
logitech 5500 5.1 speakers.

Other computer is for internet chating and downloading(music,movies)
Bmw case
amd 3200+
6600GT
1gig ram

I have both computers hook up in dual screen mode. Staker pc uses the DVI ports, BMW pc uses the D-sub inputs. Xbox 360 uses a component input from one screen. That leaves me with one component input left for ps3. Cant wait to have ps3 vs xbox 360 side by side....maybe i should take a picture of call of duty 2 running side by side(xbox 360 vs PC with 7800 GT)

BTW the game playing on one of the screens is the new ghost recon and then a trailer of dead rising (a movie trailer that i downloaded from xbox live marketplace)

D_Maniac: that's a really nice setup. For PS3 though, you'll need an HDMI connection if you want HD, because of the whole DRM crap..
 
thanks sparrow, but i think that regular HDTV formats will work like 720p or 1080i without the HDMI not sure about the blue ray player though

i mean come on how many people actually have screens with HDMI mayby one in a thousand. Sony will have to consider that in mind.....

If xbox 360 gets 1080i then ps3 better be able to as well to compete

Maybe in the ghetto. HDMI is quite common for those who own HDTVs. You can use a DVIto HDMI cable is the TV is HDCP compliant. Microsoft was actually lame to not have HDMI

I agree. The XBox 360 should have been HDMI from day one.
 
wait isnt HDMI the same as DVI but with audio.....and HDCP is that protection BS right?

D_maniac: Yeah, you're right, HDMI is basically DVI with audio. There are other differences, such as DVI being 10bit vs. 12bit for HDMI, but real world, there's no diff. To get HD res. out of the PS3, you will need HDMI or atleast an HDMI to DVI cable. Your DVI input however, will have to have HDCP (high def. content protection) which is part of the DRM crap...
 
Nice setup, D_Maniac. Looks like a nice house too, love the shutters and wood flooring. :)

When, and if, someone invents a "crack" for HDCP that will not be needed! ;) Crack in this case is kind of like box in between the two units that fake the HDCP-signal or what ever... That'd be cool!

^^^ good thing your PC doesn't ger off the floor

and that Zalman Cooler is really sexy.. I have it on my (well I built it for my dad) new system
I could post pics but I dont think its considered a workstation.. the TT Matrix is a very light as in light case.. Considered gettin that CM too but went wit TT
 
all that light pointed towards your bed?! Do you turn it off at night? Thats the main reason why i'd never get a window and lights....hell, the green light from my OCZ PSU pisses me off. :p

I think that Ergotron Desk Mount can hold up to 18 lbs right? I believe your monitor weight more than 18 lbs so does it still work perfectly? I want one of that to mount my Dell 24" LCD
 
thanks for the kind comments. the desk is a jerker from ikea.

as for the arms, they hold up just fine, if i remember they do hold up to 18lbs,
and the monitors without stand are around 15 i believe.

they work just fine, just keep in mind the depth of the lcd will affect the balance.

cheers

Wow is an undestatement, so clean and clear. BtW what mousepad is that?

hi bob. re: mousepad

the surface is a func1030 archetype, machine billeted aluminum version. i purchased it from newegg. it is a great surface. before this i used ratpadz, and although they were great, they would wear out fairly easily because i do game heavily.

here is a link to help you:

func1030 archetype mba

cheers
