I’ll get some pics up this week. I’m still unpacking.
I need to figure out how to mount my rears on the wall.
Aww thanks! It scares 1/5 girls that come over.

^ You love posting those dont you. LOL
MM, whats up with the white bezel in the pic on the back of the TE box ?
How are the sticks?
Haha that’s almost mean to do to all the guys waiting on their sticks.
Really awesome stuff.
I just got a $500 VCR… Luckily, I didn’t pay for it…
Now, to find some $50 VHS tapes…
Good stuff MarkMan. Send me one, you know you don’t have 3 friends. :arazz:
Man those sticks are nice. Great setup too.
That hurts…really 4???
no quoting images.
Now that hurts.ouch. They should put no quoting images in all the threads:wgrin:
I posted this earlier today in a new thread–unfortunately, I searched for “gaming setup” and not for “entertainment setup”, so I didn’t find this ongoing thread in time to avoid negative rep. Either way, I apologize.
Anyways, here is my SF4 setup, with a little bit of backstory to make it somewhat interesting:
I live in a duplex right next to a really large university, so nearly every night I receive a lot of guests who come over to relax and play some Brawl, STHD, SC4, etc. Most of them are casual players, so they get treated to this:

It’s an Olevia 432V LCD. It suffers from quite a bit of delay–approx. 35ms–but they don’t ever notice; all of these guys are pad playing button mashers who just want to have a little bit of fun after class without getting competitive, and that’s totally cool.
However, sometimes I will have guests who are much better and are far more competitive than my casual crew. These guys are invited upstairs to play on this setup:

It may not look it, but this seemingly simple setup provides a good trade-off between nice, crisp visuals and low delay.

The star in this picture is the NEC LT380 projector: it is a touted as a hybrid presentation/theater projector, so while its native resolution is only 768p, it does have one excellent benefit for gamers that many home theater projectors lack: the ability to disable any and all post-processing. Couple this with the XBOX 360’s (recently added) capability to display an image in XGA, and you have a SF4 experience free of scaling and post-processing lag. However, this benefit would have only extended to my 360, if not for the following components:

Playing 480i, and to a lesser extent, 480p games on this setup was a laggy affair; I have always believed it was terribly unfortunate that developers did not take advantage of progressive scan on the PS2. To remedy this, I invested in a DVDO iScan HD video deinterlacing and scaling engine, displayed above. My PS2 and Wii is hooked up to a component switch, which is connected to the iScan. It speedily deinterlaces and scales the image to XGA, then outputs the scaled video via DVI to the projector.
Compared to the olevia setup, I get about 10-12ms of input delay on this setup; MUCH better than the 35ms downstairs.
At this point you are probably thinking, “That’s all great and everything, but what do the players actually SEE?” Well, you’ve got to save the best part for last:

This is a EliteScreens 133" transportable projector screen, which is currently extended to about 120" (not enough ceiling clearance). The screen wasn’t very expensive–I’m paying more for a TE stick–but the semi-grey screen gives off nice blacks for a thrown image.
Here is my setup in action:
