i think it's been long enough since the last thread that people have probably redone their setups 5 times over. I know i have. Here's my main nest. My wife's nest is in post 2.
This thread has one more caveat: You should list anything special about this nest in the posting as well.
Here's mine:
The computer's a quad-core amd phenom w/4gb ram, ATI 5770, standard & hd tuner, blu-ray drive, remote control, multi-function media reader, dvd burner, remote, and front display. It's controlled from a blu-ray keyboard and mouse (logitech mx5500 revolution) and has dual-monitors. The main monitor is 19 inch 1280x1024, the 42 inch display is a secondary display and can be swapped with primary. The printer is a Brother laser multi-function 20ppm. Sound plays out of the primary display, no matter which i have as primary. Current hardware allows me to drive up to four displays, and a fifth display if i get a displayport display for it. However, the two current displays are plenty (motherboard has two display-outs that work alongside the ati card).
The vcr is hooked to the computer for vhs digitizing.
Under that is a Tivo Premiere. My system is networked so i can connect to it through remote-desktop from an old laptop on my bedstand.
The system's main purpose is currently game design, but i occasionally do video editing on it for my youtube page, since it has a hardware mpeg-2 encoder. It also serves as movie/music/video server for both of my tivos and pretty well every internet-connected device i have, thanks to Orb and Tivo Desktop Plus. I can even stream live television or copied tivo recordings to my Android phone.
Finally, this setup has a Wii with dual controllers and a wii-fit board and it features a 500gb hard drive connected via Usb containing backups of all my games. I also have the images backed up on the PC.
