The Official XIM "Post Your Setup Pics" Thread

My temporary set up while having some work done and I get my own office/den.

There are some nice setups in here. I'm currently setting up my 1st (legitimate) "Man Cave." I will take some pics and post when I'm done. I have kind of a theme but was curious what you guys would do if you had a room all to yourself! I want it to be dark for sure, like a theatre setting of sorts. I already painted the walls Black with blackout curtains (I game mostly during the day). I have my entertainment center and a black leather recliner. A frig for beer, water, Chinese food, etc. A lava lamp, Lol ... What I'm an 80's - 90's kid, OK! Some memorabilia stuff, sports teams, Star Wars, Gears of War, My Guitar!

So what would you guys suggest I add, seriously, don't go all ballistic please. I have money but not endless funds by any means. I just bought a 2015 Camaro for the wife so she can't complain too much!

There's a good list of low-lag tv's for gaming.  I'd do a similar search for projectors, as the quality and price have improved drastically. 

Then, if you go with a projector, you should also build some theater style seating.  basically a platform behind a couch where you can set another couch, if you expect to entertain people. 

of course, a pretty awesome surround sound system, at least 2000W

search ebay for RGB LED, and you should find some remote controlled RGB strips complete with a remote, 5-10m of (I recommend the non-waterproof) self-adhering LED's, receiver, and power supply.  These things are pretty sweet and can add a lot to the room.  Never game in pitch black!  I tend to use red or blue ambient light.

Those are awesome set ups! I also have 2 monitors but I only use 1 unless if I watch some tutorials & other stuff. Im not gonna lie. My desk gets messy & gets cleaned up atleast once or twice a week lol.

I'd post my setup pics, but don't think I can just attach them? You have to put them online first right?

[He4DHuNt3r]

You just put them on a website like postimage.org

That's what I figured.

Thanks for the site Hunter.  Never heard of them before.  I'll do this at some point today.

Just finished my new condo.  This room gives me the most satisfaction (besides bedroom, but that's a different kind of... nevermind...)

Excuse the double sided sticky tape on the couch.  That's temporary.  Just until these bastards... I mean my cats are trained not to scratch the new couches.

I've had a few updates since last year's post.







Specs are in my sig, but the video is now handled by Samsung's 65" 4k curved 7150 UHDTV (up from a 55" 1080p, which is now in my bedroom).  I wasn't really after a curved TV, but I like it now that I've had a chance to get used to it.

Audio is handled by an Emotiva preamp/processor and 5 channel amp (roughly 260-280w per channel) and Martin Logan Electrostatic speakers.  The sub is my favorite addition so far, an SVS PB12+.  Took about 80 hrs to break in, but after that and running Audessey to EQ and calibrate for the room, it sounds excellent.  Powerful yet blended.

I use the XIM4 with about any game that requires shooting routinely (SP only).  It's a God send.

Very nice. Loving that screen. If I ever moved back to proper couch gaming I would have one of them in a heartbeat.

Forget the screen -- love the Logan's!!!!
