ASUS P6T OC PALM, OC i7 920 to (3.4). 2 GTX 260 MAXCORES running in SLI, 12 gigs of OCZ REAPER (12800). Creative X-fi Fatality Titanium Sound card.

Thanks Dannibus, I repainted my Office/Man cave earlier this year and did some remodeling. The Contractor put that florescent light near the curio...

Need more photos of the case. Nothing negative to say. Haven't voted anything, that's mainly because I can hardly see the case (be it too small pictures or too few).

a few questions about your setup:

im interested in buying an LCD TV to play pc games on but have not yet seen what games actually look like on it. considering you are playing on a TV what are your experiences??? is the image indeed similar to that of an LCD monitor (built specifically for pc) or is it more blurry??? and is text even readible??? does the high contrast ratio of a TV affect visibility in games mostly featuring darkness like FEAR, Left 4 Dead, Thief etc etc

i know that to get the best image quality u need to have 1920 x 1080 res enabled on your pc, your TV has to be an LCD capible of full HD 1080p , and you need to connect via a DVI to HDMI cable. Does your setup infact have these optimal features??? if so your feedback would be much appreciated.

nice setup btw.

do NOT buy a fake 120hz or 240hz panel, 60hz only. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Panason...HDTV/9783676.p?id=1218174062064&skuId=9783676 this is the television that is the end all be all of tv-pc monitors. I use one and it is absolutely amazing and perfect for PC use. It is an A-IPS panel and it definitely has the best picture quality around.

You know I can't get it to 240 hertz as advertised. The Nvidia driver panel won't allow it.. It is only 60 hertz, Im pissed at that...
