so if my living room was at work um this
is probably what it would look like I'm here with my ifinity triple 46 in setup
that I'll be using for an episode of tech tips that may be up before but it
may be up after this video actually goes up so I just want to take you on a
little tour through the uh the construction because if you actually
look around the room you can see it's kind of a you know an empty 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
store was $3,000 so I mean y's a lot of
money but it's not actually Out Of Reach to set up something like this which is
pretty cool because the technology has just come so far I've got my box for the
Phantom lap board I had to kind of um
well this is random but I had to sort of
jury rig something to actually put the monitors on so these are all antech df30
boxes because they're quite sturdy and they're just kind of a you know glossy
black box so they look pretty nice this is actually my media PC from home um so
this is a Silverstone sgo1 which in my
opinion was the best Sugo ever although 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 display
port compatible uh monitor so since most
TV in fact all do not have DisplayPort what we're using is an active display
port 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
