A safe? Heavy? What sort of madness is this??

I have a normal safe somewhere on the ground floor (ok it's under the stairs) because it weighs a fecking ton and we just couldn't be arsed to have it upstairs. It's old and full of sand and really really heavy. :(

Yeah, cos I bet both your mobiles come on a 2000 mile phone extension cable... :p
Don't let anything get in the way of Raven bashing consoles, you know the drill.

Also we've just recently sold 3 of those gun cabinets.

That's the thing though. Mobile. Having to switch KB batteries/charging your mouse is just arse compared.

The day wired PC gaming tools go away will be a sad one.

I agree that changing batteries is a pain in the arse.... it's just that my PC is now so far away from where I sit. I need wireless.

Wasn't mean like that at all.

Dude, he's got a point, you're like that guy from yesteryear who was "everything sucks in the UK, everything is awesome in Thailand" - you're quickly taking his place, but wherever it is you live.

Don't be that guy.

A 24 inch monitor is bloody luxury, I'm currently rocking a 22" LG. Don't play games on it though as PC Games are for loooosers, I have a 50" for gaming. And wireless. And a couch. Fnarp.

Size doesn't matter, it's how you use the knowledge that you're a superior human being compared to the console drooling masses.

Stop it! :eek: Every time I see this monitor I start thinking of things I can sell in order to finance it. I thought you had that big NEC anyway?

The thing is I'd have to invest in a shiny new graphics card for any hope of a decent gaming experience I think so tack another 500 notes onto the price and it starts looking far less appealing. :(

I do, but look at that LG!

I'd like to supplement my setup with another one though.

Funnily enough, my Samsung blew on me last week. My LGs have been fine.

dude, I'm running 2560x1440 atm on the god-box and I do note I get frame drops when running my wtf awesome visual beauty stuffs. with everything maxed out in FC3 I was getting about 40FPS. I have not yet tested Linus' claims that the higher rez you go the less you need things like AA. I would need to do some 1:1 images or vids to see.

Ugh. What graphics card is in your god-box then? I bet it's something awesome. :(

My 7970 just won't do it - 3440x1440 is like 35% more pixels than 2560x1440. :(

This is why 4k console gaming is a long, looooooong way off.

Not really, @caLLous ; I'm the bang-for-your-buck guy these days. I got a GTX770 and am atm playing Skyrim with the effects cranked up so insanely high that I'm getting about 20FPS...which is something, considering the rest of the box o_0 Currently considering trading in my sweet 1600Mhz ram for a variant a couple steps up to see if that gets me a couple frames back :D

Reminds me to post some vids.

2020 if the current generation lasts as well as the last by which time 4k will be dead I'd imagine.

Holy shit dude, I think I'd rather have an extra 20 frames than have some pretty trees and coxors hanging out.

Yeah, if I were going to be ridiculous and buy this monitor I'd either have to put up with games at sub-omfg levels for a while and wait for the R9 390x next year or, as a short term fix, look for another HD7970 for my first ever foray into multi-GPU fun.

Overclockers have gone and knocked another £50 off the price of that monitor, too. Bastards. :(
