The computer on the right is actually our wireless media bridge from upstairs which I've pressed into service for me until I get my computer fixed. Unfortunately it won't run AHII on it's on board video :(
The one on the left with my control set on it is Sarah's. I'm using it to fly with in the meantime.

Hehe Rosco wins!  If I posted mine Id be real close. The blue blanket assmat and the "I know what you did last summer" jacket is a nice touch :P
Title: Post Your Aces High "Rat's Nest"
Post by: Coshy on January 14, 2008, 12:27:11 PM
So far I'd have to say Roscoroo wins.

Reasons contributing to the win:

Air freshener
an 'external' HDD
electrical plug
syringe box
classic GTO repair book
Electrical tape
Light Saber
and finially ... If its to loud, you're too old

Meatwad almost stole the show with:
Can of WD-40 (double points for this)
Electrical tape
Bannana Boxes
New computer atop an old one (ala new tv atop the broken floor model redneckism, double points for this also)
Assorted amature radio equipment
Comb

Meatwad, if you are interested in pulling out in front, I'd suggest a slice of sausage pizza on the left. That would put you firmly in first place.
Title: Post Your Aces High "Rat's Nest"
Post by: Roscoroo on January 14, 2008, 01:12:45 PM
Lmao ...

Lite sabre is most important when ya have a 7 yr old that knows the way of the force :D


I shoulda leaned the les paul outta its hidding spot too ... (I come from a long line of "Clutter experts" )  ... If theres a flat spot its perfect for more stuff .

Try an image 8 feet across:

(Photo taken in daylight with half the shades drawn with projector on "low brightness" for a quick email. But trust me - image is like being in a movie theater in Real Life. Bright colors. High contrast. No tearing.)

No need too, they have a 3 axis head tracker built in. It runs as either joystick emulation or trackir emulation both of which AH, FS X, Arma, LOMAC and heaps of other games support :)

Oh and I almost forgot, stereoscopic 3d - yes true depth perception in AH. So they're equivilant of a 60" screen in full Stereo 3D :P

when you are typing your post look at the type tools like Bold, Italic, size font color, etc and click on the IMG button. this pops a new window up. paste your picture link into this box and press the OK button.

alternatively just paste you link in the post and surround it like so:
