New setup

[l3it3r]

I've upgraded my computer setup a bit.

I was using a (now 1 year old) Sony Vaio VPC-CW17FX laptop. 14", Core 2 Duo w/4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Blu-ray, bluetooth, etc etc etc..

I picked up a new Laptop on Friday though.

HP Envy 17
Core i5
6GB DDR3
ATI 5850 w/1GB GDDR5 w/EyeFinity (3 monitors of 1080p gaming at the same time!)
640GB HDD
eSata and USB 3.0
17.3" 1080p ULTRA-FUCKING-BRIGHT display
HD Webcam
Beats Audio w/built-in subwoofer
Blu-ray, bluetooth, yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah, etc etc.

This thing is a monster! I love it! The best part? I got it on sale from http://store.microsoft.com for $1500 - $700 Microsoft coupon - $500 I got from someone + $12 shipping. With taxes and shit, I paid like $360!! lol

Anyway. I got a new bag for it since my previous bag only supports up to 15.6" screens.

Also picked up a Happauge HD PVR for recording from the PS3. The quality is insane!! Can't wait to get some decent games in soon so I can make some kickass vids.

Going to be getting another 2 Samsung XL2370 monitors over the next few months so I can do the eyefinity thing.

Anyway, on my desk I have:
HP Envy 17
Bose Companion 5
Samsung XL2370
Logitech Illuminated Keyboard
Dell Bluetooth mouse
Belkin Play Max router
Motorola Surfboard extreme
Western Digital WorldBook (2 TB)
Happauge HD PVR
MonoPrice.com component to HDMI converter (so I can plug in game consoles to the PVR and then display them on my XL2370 which only supports DVI-I or HDMI)
Sony PS3 Slim 120GB

Not bad, huh? :angel: And I'm still planning on the new monitors.. I might need a bigger desk :ninja:

I'll upload a photo or two tonight of the desk. Have to finish cleaning up first :thumb:

for size comparison: ipad, 14" vaio, 17.3" envy
