Yes, it is a modded 360. I paitned the shell black and dremel'd the "X" into place. IT lights up with red LEDs when it is turned on. The silver box is the dvd drive to the 360. I took it out so I could put a 80mm fan directly on top of the GPU heatsink.

For those wondering if the LVM-37W3 fit on a Jerker... It will "barely" fit... but to be safe.. I got the shelf extension.. disregard the hue on the screen.. it had something to do with my aperture on my camera..

Excellent setup. Is that 37 inch as easy on the eyes as the 2405 was?

yeah.. I think I am still getting used to the size though.. I am sure I will get used to it after a few days. It's a sweet monitor though.. hopefully I don't get bit again by the size bug for a long time. (I thought the 24" was huge when I got it.) heh

Ok, I understand how cool those westys are.. but you had higher resolution with the 2405fpw

If you were going to spend that type of money on a monitor for the pc.. why didn't you just get the 30 inch dell or apple? the resolution is almost twice that of a 1080p LCD... Its not the size bug you need to be bit by, its the resolution bug

if you use it for TV I understand.. but for a gaming computer.. you basically just moved backwards in resolution and by sitting that close it would be pixelated as hell.. I have a 1080p LCD also and its just not for use the close to your eyes- the pixels are just bigger so you see more distortion
so whats the deal?
 
I have a large desk so my westy sits around 3 feet away from me which is perfect. I see ZERO pixelization.

Things I didn't like on the Dell

Red tint.......this blows.....same crap as the 2005fpw I had for a year
Sparkly screen
Odd resolution which no game really supports
Dimmer than my westy 37w3
Very high resolution which means you need to be about 1-1.5 feet away which is too close for me for a 30" screen.

I bought it for 1080p. I plan on getting one of the BR or HDDVD players when the format wars settle a little bit. I still have my 2405 so I am not "replacing" it. The 2405 didn't have HDCP which is needed for the new formats..

Personally I don't think it's "that" big of a difference to go from 1920x1200 to 1920x1080... compared to the benefits of going from 24" to 37". Plus.. the 30" dell cost MORE than the 1099 I paid for the 37".. and a LOT less than the apple... and that's not counting the $$$ I would have to spend to upgrade my video card to play at native res. Plus.. you are stuck at a couple resolutions with the 30". bah.

Another thing.. what kind of inputs does the 30" dell have? Then think about all the inputs the 37" westy has... it was an easy decision.

Oh.. it's far from being "pixelated like hell"... this isn't 1024x768 anymore.

and who said I used it mainly for a gaming machine? :confused:
 
ive actually seen 1028x728 on a 32in? LCD tv. He was at a lan playing BF2 and it looked fine to me. I was was one of these dot pitch/ rez freaks but now its that much of an issue. Inputs/hdcp/other features also play a big role in monitor choice.

Very nice setup that you have there. I'm just wondering what mount are you using for the 3007 and the two 2007s? I'm interested in a similar setup myself!

I understand wanting an HDCP compliant display .. thats why I have mine also, but for a computer monitor I guess I would choose pixel count over sheer "size" any day.. the resolution is far more important when it comes to a computer screen than inches...

besides.. the 30 inch dell is only a couple hundred bucks more than the westy... I guess it just depends what you want to use it for.. its all in the eyes of the beholder... needless to say.. you have an awesome setup..
sorry to cause a comotion.. just curious what you were using a 37 incher for a computer screen.. I guess I use my 60 inch for a computer screen too.. but its just for HTPC use anyways..
keep up the good work!

It is a Ergotron DS100 Triple-Monitor Desk Stand, which is - lets say - "at its limit".
