Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.

[shilala]

I just hung a 42" Plasma running on a dual core sli rig that pumps out an awesome image. Gonna play some games.
Words are useless.
I'm gonna post pics and go sit out there. :)

How do you keep the robbers away? Pit bull?

[longknocker]

Awesome, Scott!:tu Enjoy it, Bro!:)

[TheTraveler]

I've always wanted a sittin' porch (as opposed to a simple stoop). That's one right purty place to sit a spell!

Great smoking spot you've got there. :tu

[DougBushBC]

that looks great, how do you keep the weather from damaging the equip? cover?

[TripleF]

The fear of certain death seems to work okay.
Ya steal stuff around here, you get dead for it. It's a no crime community, pretty much.
Other than junkies climbing in your windows, it's easy livin'.
Handguns and baseball bats take care of that.
I'm a very light sleeper, too. I have motion lights and an attack cat, too.

Right now I throw a couple sheets over the stuff.
I'll make nice covers eventually. I have a lot more work to do on the tower, software, and everything. Once it's all finished, I'll likely build everything into a cabinet of some sort.
No rush.
In the winter, I'll bring everything back in the house.

[Smoke Naked]

Wow

[Scottw]

Pretty nice there Scott, I like that!

[shilala]

I worked on that machine all night, smoked a cigar, and it's downloading all my games from Steam. I'm gonna play some Half Life II and Day of Defeat if I get time tomorrow.
I gotta get cable out there, too.
I also have to figure out how to get my sound card hooked up to the tv so I have some sweet speakers.
Awww, I'm such a sped.

Plasma + static desktop?

As a PDP owner, I know as well as any that burn-in is a thing of the past, but IR is still a grievance, especially with a reoccurring static image like that.

Why the choice of a PDP over an LCD for such a setup?

Other than that... cool deal. :tu

[Skywalker]

Over the top!!!

[newcigarz]

nice set-up

[HK3-]

Scott is big pimpin! Are you famous now or something? :r

Looks relaxing!

[Smokin Gator]

Very sweet set up for the summer!!

[kaisersozei]

I think I just wet myself.

[zero.e]

AWESOME! Just AWESOME!:ss

[csbrewfisher]

You must really trust your neighbors and their friends Scott!

[14holestogie]

Very nice setup, Scott. :tu

[bonjing]

Toshiba has a built in static image mover. It won't allow burn in, even though it's bs in the first place. If the image stays static too long, it moves it a little to the left or right or up or down. It continues to do so to make sure everything is okay, and doesn't do it when things keep moving.

That was a plasma I had for my office in my last house. I was just putting it to use. I have two of the same one, the other is in my bedroom. In the living room is a 52" DLP, cause that's the sh1t. :)

[shilala]

They know me, that's all. :)
They're good people. No punks in the neighborhood. When one passes by, I talk to them. I know where all the junkies are, and we've come to an understanding as well.
It'll work out okay. :tu

[Sauer Grapes]

Very nice... I guess if you go out of town you'll bring it inside?

[shilala]

I don't go out of town. If I do, there's always someone here anyways.
I imagine it'll be worn out in the next few weeks anyways. :)

Wow shilala. My ManPorch is complete with what must be a 13 inch TV that originally belonged to my wife's grandmother. I'm guessing it's a good 20+ years old. It's retro chic. :r

[alley00p]

http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Surprise/surprised-038.gif .WOW!!

Your ManPorch makes my mini-mancave look insignificant!!! :D

Nice Job, Scott! :tu




:dance:

[shilala]

I mamnaged to get all the glitches worked out this morning and got all my Steam games downloaded.
I also got hooked up with a hotter dual core cpu AND I figured out what kind of ram I need so I can add another gig.
As soon as I get time to get the tv speakers hooked up to the sound card, I'm going global with this thing.

Like granddaddy said, "You can't hide money!"

[shilala]

Like granddaddy said, "You can't hide money!"
:fuIt's all stuff that was laying around the house, brother.
Add some mootching, sell some cigars, and pull some favors, and it's pretty incredible what a guy can get done. :}

[Darrell]

I don't even have a flat screen in my HOUSE, let alone on my porch!!!

Color me jealous.
