haha when my gf moved into her new house her brother (the ultra nerd) had to sit on the floor to use his computer, i laughed

i dont care how many people say im compensating for something having lots of screen space is bloody useful.

i totally agree aye. once i get an Xbox 360 i'll get another 22" screen to play the xbox games on. and when i wanna watch a movie or just know i wont be doing an xbox gaming for a while i'll have both screens plugged in...

shiny, but i say get a tv card or a monitor with tv in so you dont have to screw around with plugs

i have a TV card... but i dunno if it has the Xbox plugs...? also i wouldnt want to have to have the computer on to play Xbox...

i was actually wondering if it would be possible to get a switch thing that just switches between computer and xbox?

if you get an xbox with hdmi then yes you can, if its an older 360 without hdmi then no (hdmi to dvi adaptor $3, dvi kvm $100)

heh, nice setup

I can only use my 2nd LCD when noone is on the other computer

(I bought it to replace our CRT), Its usefull for some things, but VC doesnt like dual screens (It can do split screen fine, but M$ mustve missed the point that splitting a screen means you have half the screen space, using 2 screens means you dont). Other than MSN on one and VC on the other, i dont realy see the point for me (Sup Com looks like it would be fun to play dual screen tho)
