So I could plug the DVI into the back of the Samsung and the HDMI into the Mac Mini? Thanks

Other way around. Check out Amazon.com. My roommate just bought this and it works great for our living room computer.

Very nice Axiom you have there, i'm planning to buy the Axiom 61. Are you happy with it?
Click to expand...

Thanks,

yes I am really happy with it, I've had it for less than a month though, but I have used it tons.

The semi-weighted keys feel pretty good, this thing can do a ton and it's all programmable, it was a bit overwhelming at first, but I am getting used to it.

It didn't come with a user's guide, so at first I was just figuring out all the programming my self, until I downloaded the PDF form their site.

The trigger pads are great, I would much rather use them for making beats than the keys, they just feels more durable when you are striking them, and of course you can assign the trigger pads to whatever you want... start loops etc.

I have nothing bad to say about it.

oh, well there is one thing, the usb cable is an ugly beige color, ahahaah, but my cables are nicely hidden so I dont even see it.

What mouse is that? :)
Click to expand...

hehe, I can answer that for you, Mitch is my brother, and that is my old mouse as you can see in the before picture of my setup.

It's a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2.0.

Here it is, his is in the black leather model. I am not too sure if they have it anymore, I can't find it on the site.

Looks like you can buy them cheap though, it uses RF not bluetooth, so it comes with a usb RF receiver.

Hey, dariuslatamus!

Lovely setup. I really like the red walls. Very clean and sexy. Anyways though, you HAVE to tell me where you got those thick Matrix "posters." I want that Neo one! :p
Click to expand...


Hi Matt,

I got the posters from a local place here in Toronto called www.movieposter.ca
They sell the posters as well as mounting them on either glossy or matte wood. So i got all my posters mounted on matte wood so they wouldn't shine too much.

STILL by FAR amongst the best setups I've ever seen here! Especially in the dark. Dude can you PM me where you get your figureans? Pls!

PS Since you know of the Tigercats comic (amongst the same 2nd year that Spawn debuted) - there was an Image Comic about a soldier dieing and trying to repent his sins that I've been trying to track down but cannot find the name. If you have any idea pls PM me the title thanks.

Hi Prom1,

Thanks appreciate it! In terms of my figures and statues, it's a few years of collecting but I can tell you that most of them were bought off ebay including the Silver Surfer, Sauron, Superman, Ryu. The others aren't really statues but more like figurines or action figures that I bought from a local comic shop.

The Image comic you're talking about is called Prophet! I remember it well. It was one of my favorite comics as well. I remember Stephen Platt drew it for sometime and did a fantastic job on it.

hey darius, how did you connect your ps2 to your LCD? i want to do it, but not looking to spend lots of money for a VGA box.
Click to expand...

Hi AppleGuy,

I have the ps2 connected to the 2405FPW via the component cables and I also have the ps2 connected to my Shuttle with the optical cable. My powerbook is connected to the dell screen via the dvi connection but I'm using a vga-dvi adapter to plug it in because I game on my pc so I wanted the superior quality of the dvi on that.

The Dell 2405FPW has composite, s-video and component hookups so it's fantastic in that way..you could potentially have all 3 consoles hooked up.


I hope this answers everyone's questions!

ugh damn. i have a dell 1905 fp i think, aka, a monitor that doesnt have s-video or composite!! looks ike if i want to hook up my ps2 ill need to go over to frys and get a VGA box. poop!

Yes sir! Thats correct it is the Mikael (birch/white) i believe. If all IKEA's are the same, its on aisle 5 bin 16 for $59.99. A great deal if i do say so myself.

You do realize that speeds up your metabolism like hell? That you have to eat stuff when you drink those things otherwise...
Click to expand...

It's not like i'm drinking several a day. On average one every other day or even less.. two in a day rarely.

Looks very nice, I'm looking at getting the Apple wireless keyboard and mouse but can't decide because of the cost, what do you think of them?

What size is your monitor btw, looks very sexy.
