    HOW many 360 controllers?
    I see the projector screen, what's your projector like? Is it an HD model?

    8 Controllers... I bought them on ebay in a lot of 12 for 40 bucks.... Each one had something wring with it so I managed to swap parts and what not and salvage 7...

    The Projector is an In-Focus IN76 it has a Native Resolution of 720p although it will display 1080p.I picked it up at the Infocus close out sale last year for price.

    Hmm, not bad, especially on fixing the 360 pads. How much did you have to spend on repairing them?

    On the projector - how good is it at displaying SD images? I like large screen LCDs, DLPs etc, but have never been impressed at how they deal with standard def video compared to a CRT.

    Hard to believe, I started this thread back in July 2005. Now January 2008 and it's still going strong. Some really nice setups here too. Thanks to everyone for making this such a popular thread.

    Not much has changed with our setup. The big ugly 19" CRT's are gone. instead we have new 19" widescreen flat panels. Other than that there are a few hardware updates that you can't see, new CPU's, MOBO's graphics cards etc ..

    For those of you too lazy to go back to the first post, here is the original picture ;)

    Hello to everyone I haven't seen for ages. Hope you're keeping well.

    Hey Hey.. Mr Taz.. the hardware may change, but the cat remains the same.

    Yeah.. for the eagle eyed that's an old Dell optiplex 110 running as a loadbalancer/firewall and local terminal.. you get to see another room in the rathole I call home..

    You disgust me.

    Lol nah, I jest. Creaky does have one fine looking setup. As for Domreis, well, you can't argue with the impressiveness of a Home entertainment cabinet that complete!
