space so I figured hey why don't we use this for our for our setup and uh yeah so here let's walk through it so I found this couch um upstairs where people have to wait so anyone who had to wait for anybody today had to stand because I borrowed it we've got the Phantom lapboard right here so you can see that this guy uh we I did an unboxing recently but it's a laser mouse and rotating keyboard with a mousing surface on the bottom of it great game controller when you're sitting on the couch I've got a wireless Xbox 360 controller with my griet rubberized uh analog stick covers all right I got my remote for the TV uh over here I've got the TVs themselves so these are all Samsung LCDs they aren't LED backlit they're not super high-tech the total cost for these three TVs at a big box

the SG3 is pretty good too I've got a little Imon display which I actually I don't have the application open right now but it shows me like what media is playing the date and time uh inside I've got a core i5 750 quad core with a custom CA and Tech true power 550 W you can see my 8 pin connector for example is only exactly long enough to reach the 8 pin connector on the motherboard got a zman CPU Cooler in there keep things nice and cool nice and quiet and then uh normally I keep a fairly modest video card in here but as you can see I have clearly upgraded it to the Radeon 6870 and what's really cool about this card is as you'll see in my length comparison on my blog it's not actually that long so you can install it quite easily in a media oriented or a mini ATX case and it'll still work just great so I got my wireless I got a Gigabyte motherboard in there uh okay I think that's pretty much it I got my steam drive so you can see my steam drive back here runs off USB 3 contains all my Steam games cuz I use an SS SD for my home computer so there's not enough space to store my like 50 something Steam games um so I found that that solution actually works pretty well for me so this is oh crap that one came undone the HDMI cable I'm using is a little bit finicky there we go all right so we can here we can even go around the back and sort of check out how everything's hooked up at the back so as you may or may not know ifinity requires at least one DisplayPort compatible uh monitor so since most TV in fact all do not have DisplayPort what we're using is an active DisplayPort adapter back here so that's a mini DisplayPort to DVI active adapter it means it costs about 100 bucks and you actually have to power it via a USB port so that's back there and that one is running over to the far monitor then we're using native HDMI to HDMI for the middle Monitor and last but not least we're using a DVI to HDMI cable for the left monitor when looking at them from the front so what that means is that we're using all Native digital signals but we are using adapters so the image quality is all going to be identical it's just a matter of cables at the back so um there you have it that's a little tour of the setup here so if you don't mind I'm just going to sort of oh yeah right cameraman's reminding me of something we had discussed that I totally forgot so what I want you guys to do is leave a comment at uh on the bottom of this video and say first of all if you installed this setup in your living room tonight would you sleep tonight and second of all if you installed this what would you do how would you make this setup better to suit your personal needs"}
