so if my living room was at work um this is probably what it would look like I'm here with my affinity triple 46-inch 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 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 for our setup and yeah so let's walk through it so I found this couch 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 fence of lap board right here so you can see that this guy I didn't unbox them 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 xbox360 controller with my I grip it rubberized analog stick covers all right I got my remote for the TV over here I've got the TV's themselves so these are all Samsung and LCDs they learnt 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 yeah it'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's just come so far I've got that box for the phantom lap board I had to kind of bomb eval this is random but I had to sort of jury-rig something to actually put the monitors on those so these are all an Tek DF 30 boxes because they're quite sturdy and they're just kind of a you know glossy black box and it looks pretty nice this is actually my media PC from home so this is a silverstone sdo one which in my opinion was the best Sugo ever although the SGO three is pretty good too I've got a little I'm on display which I actually I don't have the application open right now but it shows me like what media is playing the date I'm inside I've got a Core i5 750 quad core with a custom cable to ntek true power 550 watt so 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 zul'aman CPU cooler in there keep things nice and cool nice and quiet and then normally I keep a fairly modest video card in here but as you can see I have clearly upgraded it to the radio on 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 I got my wireless I got a gigabyte motherboard in there ok 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 because I use an SSD for my home computer so there's not enough space to store my like 50-something Steam games so I've found that that solution actually works pretty well for me so this is HDMI cable I'm using is a little bit finicky there we go alright so we can here we can even go around the back and start to check out how everything's hooked up at the back so as you may or may not know i Finity requires at least one DisplayPort compatible monitor so since most TVs 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 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 there you have it that's a little tour the setup so if you don't mind I'm just gonna sort of oh yeah right camera man'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 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
