Hell yea lol XD

Thing is, a lot of dust, its today 1 month and 3 days i built it, this month going to blow it up with compressed air at my dad's company.

Each week though i wipe the dust off with a small painting brush (soft ones and clean ofc), only from the heat sink and coolers though.

And thanks xD

How does something you built count as a present? :confused:

Beav · August 17, 2011

It was over £100, lol. My mum isn't going to build that, lol!

Maybe he means buy it as a flatpack then build it :confused:

Thats the one ;)

Ryzza5 · August 18, 2011

Yeah well he said he "spent ages" building it, not 45 minutes :(

Beav · August 18, 2011

It was more like 4hours, lol. Got draws etc to build as well not just a desk. :P

How many school-boy error penalties did you get? :p

None, lol. I was very paranoid ide put something on back to front and have to take it all off again. The only thing I couldn't do was nail the backboard on but I didn't want it on really incase my PC over heats in that small cupboard bit. The nails were very short and I hit my finger on every attempt, lol

Here's my current temporary setup:

That's nothing, mine's in my wardrobe.

Seriously.

@Ryzza: Must be great for GT5. ;)

That's nothing, mine's in my wardrobe.

Seriously.

I just put my G25 away, too. When I'm spending hours and hours editing vids and pictures, my fingers thank me; before, I'd been doing a sort of one-arm-over-the-wheel thing, with the keyboard at a wacky angle. :p

No I mean I'm literally sitting on my chair typing on the keyboard in my wardrobe :lol:

Here's my current temporary setup:

That's a nice duster thing you got hiding behind the wheel. :p

(Yes, I know it isn't a duster)

Charlie misses his mum who's on holidays (yes he's a big mummy's boy dog).

@Leadfoot I haven't done GT5 yet - was on a TDU1 cruise last night. PC is left of the TV. It sounds like you need a keyboard drawer so the G25 doesn't intefere with your typing.

Since I usually watch TV on my PC in bed at night time, I had to move the X360 into my room, and use it as a media centre extender.

The G25 had been mounted on the keyboard tray (because it can be slid back and underneath the desk, which helped a lot, but didn't solve the keyboard being at strange angles). Here's a pic (from this thread):

And I'm sorry I called your dog a cat in the chatbox. :whistle:

Ryzza5 · September 11, 2011

Wouldn't you be better off having the keyboard on the keyboard drawer, and mount the G25 to the sturdier desk where your keyboard currently resides? I'm surprised you haven't broken the drawer while racing already :)

A bit like:

You'd have to move your chair and shifter closer to the desk, though.

Ozzmcom · September 11, 2011

my problem is a bit more vertical oriented

MephistoRacing · September 11, 2011

What case is that? Looks like mine (Elite 310), but all black D:

Ryzza5 · September 11, 2011

considering how the wheel and pedals don't line up at all I'd say your problem is also horizontal :)

Also it's not particularly a brilliant idea to have a subwoofer that close to your HDDs (affects the magnets in them). When I got my speakers (my sub is a bit bigger) it said I should leave a 2 meter gap between the SW and the PC.

Just ignore the fact that I keep the PS3 right next to the woofer :)

Doesn't concern me quite as much.

WHUT?! My X-540 sub is quite literally 3 inches from my HDD's D: I can't put it anywhere else D:

Ozzmcom · September 11, 2011

hehe yeah it's an elite one. I don't really know the full name I've just gone for the cheapest with a good psu.

@ ryzza : I don't really have any other place to put it unfortunetely, altho it rattles and vibrates the pedals when you rev the engine in the game which is great :P , and yeah I have that problem , the wheel stands pretty low as well , but if I put it above the keyboard place my legs are too long for the pedals and it hurts :P.
