my pc will be an entertainment center

Soon...so very soon...I've ordered the following:

DVI to HDMI Cable


Wireless Keyboard and Laser Mouse


Wireless Gamepad


1GB RAM


And all of this was roughly equivalent to 10% of the cost of the soon-to-be-monitor...



Sexy time!

Those DVI to HDMI cables are freakin expensive - cost me 70bux (aprox) for mine!

But those blueray dvds look great

And besides - after spending a couple grand on a tv, whats 70 bux on a cable? To not get it would be wasting the capability of the TV!

While you're at it Pat, you should get some Mame action happening.

Built this earlier this year. It's got basically every video game from between 1988-1996 (the golden years)

Wow, that's the best looking arcade cabinet I have seen, amazing job. Nice that it uses MAME as well.

Cheers. The legs and structure inside came from an old school desk I picked up at the tip. Talk about a new lease on life...

Yeah, my friend started building a MAME cabinet, but never bothered finishing it. So, he's had all these parts strewn around his apartment for years.

I live in the wrong country. Should have looked at amazon.com or something!

God damn this mouse sucks. The scroll jumps all over the place at random (it seems) I can't scroll for shit and it's fucking up all my interactions. Support website is no help, support forums have no threads on the subject.

Ugh.

Take note, gentle consumers: the LX7 Cordless Desktop is a piece of shit. STAY AWAY.

I'm just going to use my trusty old MX310 with a cord running across the living room. Hard to read anything. Surround sound doesn't work for whatever reason. I guess I'll try to return all this cordless shit and get some of my money back. Oh well.

got this one

Logitech Cordless Desktop EX 110 - Cheap at Ebuyer!

and this one

Logitech Cordless Desktop S 510 - USB/PS2 - Ebuyer

and they're both cool. although I do prefer the keyboard on the first one, even though the second one looks a lot nicer.

I've given up. I'm just going to return the mouse/keyboard and cable and keep using my 20" widescreen LCD as my monitor.
