Due to a limited amount of time to get the rig up and running, I decided against the unboxing blog. It's taken me a couple of weeks to find time to connect everything, and reassemble parts of the desk I had removed, but here it is:
I had recently decided to mount the new monitor on an clamp-mount arm, but it wasn't until I purchased the arm and brought it home that I realized the new screen doesn't have any mount points (!).
So, I decided to mount my old monitor on the arm and swing it over beside the new one in a dual-head configuration. New monitor is the main desktop, as well as the display for the PS3. Just behind and to the left of the PS3 is the A/V switcher that I use to switch sound source between systems and pipe through the two JBL Pro speakers laying beneath the desk (I bought these with my first Win 98 PC at Radio Shack, and they still sound great, full range sound, almost as if I have a subwoofer attached).
I do in fact have a subwoofer (an old Altec-Lansing from the Win95 days), but that is put away until I get a new sound card with 5.1 or greater support.
Getting a pretty solid 120 FPS in Flight Sim X @ 1080P resolution around my home airport. Haven't taken her into any weather or big cities yet, but am getting anxious to stretch her legs.
