Yes, just set up a photo thing to send pics, will try and get whole room in.

Never done it before ?????

My room is set out like a cinema, I'm sat right in the middle of the room with my 5.1 system set as close to perfect to me, me being in the middle of all the speakers.

If I can't do it, can I send a Email to one of you showing my pics, then you can post pics for me on here ????.

My build has cost me just over £4530.

It's your money and i hope you enjoy the box but IMO you're not quite getting the performance you've paid for. Now granted the monitor, coolin and speakers and non-box parts add to the price but regardless, £4530, that's 7860USD ... granted this costs more and granted UK prices are higher ... but thats the ballpark of what I would have expected for the pricetag

Again, not raggin on your box, just a comment on it's futureproof-ness

Not ragging on but it is a lot lot more of a pc than you have in your sig praetor.

I chose the parts in my rig for a reason, because I wanted them.

I could have copied many other high end rigs.

But I got what I liked.

Hehe no need to get sensitive about it ... you asked a question, i answered it. If you wanna get all pissy about it, I paid less than $1500CAD for my box, ive got a way bigger screen (roughly 100" at this point, depends on whether i wanna move the projector back or not) and a boatload more storage space. If you wanna get all fancy pants on the CPU and videocard, sure your 7800GTX SLI might outpace my X1900XT but i'm quite certain the 2x270s in my encoding box will take down your FX60 anyday (you can even pick the day) of the week. But do you see me running around playing who's got a big d*ck? ;-) Hardly, cuz at the end of the day, like i said, "I hope you enjoy".

No i'm not a rich kid. No im not a snob. (for anyone who's not clued in it, I build a lot of computers kinda for a living so it's not odd for me to cycle through several different upgrade paths a week) You asked for an opinion and I gave you one. I do notice you didnt snap on Helmie for post #10. His point was essentially the same, "he would have went for a more future proof setup" ... i just said the same and provided some details.

But yeah, read #15 again and tone down the testosterone: you have a good box, enjoy it.
