Actually ordered it from Adorama. I've been eying this set for awhile and they had a sale on it for $1050. Then a couple days later the Fry's deal came up, just my luck. Could've saved $50 if I had waited a bit. Oh well, still was worth it.
How do you like it so far?
Got my self a PCB to an "Unidentified SNK game" for $10 shipped (Which all of 5 minutes took to identify as P.O.W.). Most likely the guy tested it, couldn't get it to work, tossed it up as "Untested", since the one dip switch that the manual I found that says "Always off" was set to on. Flipped the switch, and it seems to work now. Don't have any way to output video yet, but I did a quick big of rigging to get it to output sound to a pair of headphones, and as I flipped the switch to have demo mode make sound (Which is why I pulled up the manual to start)
As you can see, I am taking the utmost in safety precautions
And to be honest, this is far simpler then I would of ever guessed to set up. The only thing that is hard is getting the video to output, but that more due to the US having no RGB TVs, and PC monitors having to high of a sync rate to use ether. So I'll have to buy a RBGS to VGA adapter.

What an odd shower design... It is weird that the curtain for the shower doesn't extend the entire length of the tub. I see that your roof is slanted, so i guess that makes sense.OnkelC said:New shower:
Looks nice
Edit: I posted this over in gaming setup a couple days ago...
Anyways, I bought a house! Took possession about a month ago and did a bunch of work to it. It is only four years old, but it needed a new paint job and all new carpet. The hardwood is fortunately in good shape!
Den Before
Den After (still WIP)
Living Room Before
Living Room After

It looks amazing. I'm also surprised that it can play 720p mkv files right off an NTFS usb hard drive. I haven't tried any 1080p yet though.
Here's a pic of my setup for shits 'n giggles. Yes, I know the speaker setup is pointless.

Nice man. Yeah the ability to play MKVs straight off a USB hard drive is an awesome feature. I'm quite impressed with the built-in menu controls too, tons of configuration options and everything is neatly organized to boot. Best I've used on a TV actually.

Where did you get your Capcom cute cabinet? I am in love with those things but they do not exist on eBay or my local craigslist.

Way to go, Gloomfire! My pick-ups were more an "I'm in a slump, and that's...OK" affirmation. Put your fist in your mouth, wipe away those tears.
Semi-new 6x4' goal, for dining room play. It's better outside, but Stamford Bridge Lite is so worth the noise. Remote Control resolves any draws.
TMI? I dunno, hair care and a pink lady may as well be herbal tea and broccoli. Same diff, it's all in the Health-'n-Vigor aisle. G'head, look it up.
I needed a new game for buds in town this weekend, and this tops Fleshlight Round Robin. Tony Manero thinks we should be dancing, and so do I!
These came from NewEgg's Hella Cheap bin. One of my NYK jerseys was out last night to send positive vibes to my boy Gallo (I forgot I'm a jinx).
