My gaming machine is purple, and little and cute. It has a cute little handle and four controller ports. And it works, which is more than I can say of a PC. And it was cheap, which means I didn't have to take out a loan to get it. And it's oh-so-cute. And it's got the Nintendo logo written-

It's off-white, curved, with a wireless controller and it says Xbox360 on it and plays on a little HDTV with Logitech subwoofer speaker system.

F*** PC gaming for the next couple years, I don't need worry about freaking graphics cards upgrades and hardware. NYAH!!!

You're just trying to make yourself feel good about your little X360, because you really know that

Spoiler:
PC > X360


Don't deny it.

setup and location: i have the computer in my living room and i am using my 46" HDTV as a monitor, and the sound is plugged into a 7.1 home theater system ..............i also have all my other electronics (x360, ps2, etc...) hooked up to the same tv and home theater system

comments: personally i prefer nvidia to ati, but the ati dual card setup in my computer is one of the best gpu setups that you can buy right now..........i also love to be able to play games on the big screen while leaning back in my recliner...........and it feels good to have a completely new computer after almost 2 years of constantly upgrading my old one
Did your gateway come with a locked bios? It's been years since I've seen a major manufacturer leaving the bios open for people tinker in. If the bios is locked and you can't overclock, then why did you decide to go the water cooling route?

So far I can't see why AGamers are considered to be at the bottom end of raw gaming power. Most confings I've read have a decent graphics card and a decent CPU. I can't see why we do not get our next gen AGs with all the DX9 candy. Probably has something to do with this, Half Life 2 (not ep1) and a 6600GT give a full on gaming experience with FSAA and AF on, 80 Days gives the same framerate and puts the same (roughly) strain on the GPU with all the options to high but compare the output of the two games. Bad, bad, bad programming! Since we have talented artists, I believe its time we have some talented programmers.

PS: I will not fall for the Valve has millions to spare thingy…
