I've just completed my first online purchase on the Iron Maiden website. Money well spent in my opinion.

These showed up yesterday. :D

BenQ W1070

Logitech Harmony Smart Control Hub (iPhone not included but works great with my RAZR)

I needed that as all of the components (except for the projector, naturally) are in the mech room so an IR remote isn't an option. The hub converts either RF from the remote or wireless from the phone into IR. The included mini IR blaster should be able to be run back to the theater room to control the projector. 👍

In action, although the pictures really doesn't do it justice (click for larger):





Weekend project - get it mounted to the ceiling (it's currently sitting on a chair :lol:), the IR blaster set up and a rack build for the components and movies.
 
NICE DUDE!!!! I have really enjoyed watching the progression of your room! 👍
 
Nice purchase, TB. Although, for a minute, I thought it read "Beno" as in the pills that help you stop farting. :P

:lol:

Just wondering how long it will take untill I make some scratches on those kneepads.
Yes, I'm still a kneedown virgin. A trackday should suffice I suppose. :sly:

Picked up this as well to keep me busy untill GTA V comes out.

Bought a GoPro Hero 3 at Target. They currently are giving a free suction cup with it so I was sold. I also got a 8gb SD card and preordered GT6 at GameStop.

New front brakes for my trusty CRV, figured I'd give the ATE PremiumOne slotted rotors a try since they were half price, they seem to get some good reviews, so far so good.

I watched The Wolverine in the cinema the other day and realised I hadn't got a copy of the first one, so I picked one up at HMV

Plus I got a grey Hollister top, can't find a picture of it.

Lastly I had to buy a shirt and tie for a wedding this month, I struck lucky. One of the up market shops in Cabbot Circus (Bristol) had a sale on :D So I got a white and blue stripey shirt, which was reduced down from £90 to £35. Also a blue silk tie reduced from £80 to £35. Overall I saved £100, I looked on the website today and the sale has ended, well chuffed.

Excuse the flappy cuffs and dodgy tie knot.

Picked up a couple of these beauties for a little SLI action.
EVGA GeForce GTX780 SuperClocked

If I just can't stand the higher temps, then I will be adding full plate water blocks to both of them, but for simplicity I will leave them on air for now.

A little on Water vs. Air, it seems that we are getting to the point where controlling temps with water doesn't give enough of an edge to take the card to new over clocking heights as we seem to be running out of power first, or blowing up cards from too much voltage long before thermal limits are being reached. Since the 780's are on the same PCB as the Titans, there are some nice blocks out there that are available should I decided to go that route. I estimate that I will know fairly quickly if I want to cool with water or not. Expect some reports in the Computers section.

:cheers:

Nice purchase, Pako! :cheers:

Now you need three projectors so you can play 5760x1080 at ~36' wide by 6' tall. ;)

Seed. Planted. :D
 
Looking forward to some results! What are you doing with your old cards?
Well, will be selling them shortly.

You SUCK! :lol:

One of the appealing things about projectors is I could get all three projections to align seamlessly. No monitor bezel to contend with, which in my opinion, is one of the major drawbacks of multi-monitor gaming.
 
Yongnuo 560 III Flash (has a built in radio trigger):

RF-603 Transceivers:

RF-603.jpg


8x Sanyo Eneloops

1x Sync cord (as a fallback for the radio triggers)

All for less than £100. Will probably add an extra flash since they're so affordable.

I haven't played any games on it yet but after watching movies for the last few days, 12 feet away from a 13' screen has the makings for some fun.

With a screen 36' wide, you'd have to sit so far back that it would make the entire experience pointless. The equivalent of three 70" monitors, however... :lol:
