I'll answer both of your questions (Though the second one will get an incomplete answer).
The easiest way to connect your computer to your TV is to set your TV as a secondary monitor by running an S-Video cable from your video card to the S-Video in on your TV. Your videocard may not have an S-Video out, in which case you'll have to get advice from someone else on how to connect your PC to your TV. If your TV doesn't have an S-Video in, you'll need to get an RFU Adapter that accepts S-Video. You can find these at Radio Shack for $25. |

My Setup...
Hooked up the same way, though a USB adapter, S-Video & Mini-Jack -> RCA into my Amp...
2 HUGE speakers 
1 Center...
and I have two Surrounds that are about 3/4 the height of those... and my 2 rears which are about half that height...
and my custom built pad... and also custom theme... (I have parties all the time... so well, I decided to make my own theme... actually looks pretty decent, not quite done yet though...) There is the caution screen for ya.
Enjoy,
~BJ |

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! That setup is pretty badass for a custom home arcade.
What is your theme based on? Are you going to release it to the public? |

Heh, no I don't have any instructions, I just actually went from my head... (It was suppose to have bars as well, but I just never got that far... technicially I could stil build them in, i'd just have to take the rear panels off...)
Heh it's made out of Plywood and 2x4's... It's a _VERY_ solid unit... (Also, it's a bi*** to move...)
Themewise though, nah, I don't plan on releasing it to the public... It has a ton of wording and such that only my friends would get (personal jokes in the caution screen etc...) AND to be honest I took a one or two things from other themes and modified them a bit... (Now since it's for my basement use only, I'm sure they don't really care... but if I distributed em to others... they might

One is never enough!
The top one is modded, and has the HD unit in it... However the DVD-Drive doesn't always like to work... that's why the second one is there... it's just one of my friends, the house she's livingin has I think 3 PS2's already... so she doesn't need hers...
That is why =[D} |

You guys are lucky. Sure I got a 400 watt stereo on me but all I got is some janky buttocks TV and no laptop... Wish me TV had S-video, that way I wouldn'tneed to get a 25 dollar adapter.

| I had 3 PS2s at one point. Gave one to my girlfriend and sold another. Kept the slim one for myself though. |

| I don't have pictures (yet), but here's what my setup is like. I have two pads hooked into a PS2 adapter to my PC. They're the nicer pads with foam inserts, don't know the exact model though. I have S-Video out to my 32" TV, and digital audio out to my surround sound system. It's a lot of fun to play, but playing with two people is problematic because the right arrow on one of the pads is iffy. Works sometimes, doesn't work sometimes. I plan to eventually make some homemade wooden/medal pads, but right now my funding is way too low to budget in such a project. |

OMG man....i don't know why I never thought about that. >.> geeze Thanks. I'm going to go check out what circuit city has before I go to radio shack because the people in there scare me. You can't even get through the door before they're trying to sell you a phone or satellite dish...scary.
