    Cool The FragNet Gaming Lounge is complete!

    Well, I think I've got my little LAN center all worked out how I want it.... Have a look!

    My main rig takes the center stage and then I've got a pair of matching Dell 5150's w/ 6600GT's and 3ghz P4's on either side which handle just about anything on those little 17" CRT's. I've had this place packed for LAN parties and it works out perfect with the WiFi for peeps who bring their gaming lappys or small LAN rigs over. Now I just needz me an LCD scoreboard on the back wall and I'll be set!







    P.S. I picked up the Dell's at the Dell Outlet as "Dent & Scratch" units for $349 a piece and I can't see a dent or scratch on either one of em, w00t!

    I'll post up more pix once my cascade is done and setup in the room too

    That would require time, effort, and money. All things I don't have a lot of.

    rofl thx guys... I only bought the dells because I got em uber cheap... no way in hell you could recreated those systems for that price, and the cases don't look all that bad either, hehe.

    And that monitor would be a Dell 3007WFP, me lurfs it with a passion!

    Looks awesome! You've gotta clean up those wires a little bit though

    I can't wait to finish mine. I just picked up a 42U rackmount enclosure for free today gonna paint it up and mod it to look sexy.

    Night of the living thread! Muahahahah

    Just an updated on the FragNet Gaming Lounge. I ended up parting out my entire main rig, selling the monitor, and selling one of the dells. That room looks pretty darn empty right now, a wee bit depressing.

    My new MacBook Pro ships out tomorrow so I'll update what the lounge looks like after I have that sexy beast in its proper place.

    I also mounted all of my Z-5500's speakers on the walls and it sounds MUCH better. I took my X-Mystique and popped it in to the remaining Dell 5150 so I could make use of the Z-5500's optical input. Sounds great as usual!
