Also I had my L4D posters like that for over a year, and if I remember correctly Ajacks put his posters up after I showed my room with them. Not that it's a big deal or anything I just wanted to let you know.

You need to pay me royalties so that I can upgrade my setup while you puny children struggle to keep up, lol. Also, I got mine Christmas day 2008 from my girlfriend and it took me a few weeks to get them properly dry pressed and framed. Also, at the time and it's not like I was stalking the web, but I hadn't seen anyone else who had the posters properly dry pressed and framed by a framing store.

I wouldn't hang movie or video game posters in my room. Free advertising for them? No way. I would just use art. @SomeGuest you should print some of the more popular wallpapers out really big. Like the windows 7 beta wallpaper, and mac Aurora one. I think that would look pretty sick on a wall. Here's the original bliss wallpaper. [URL="http://imgkk.com/i/uoxk.jpg"]Bliss (3mb 4510x3627 @ 600dpi)[/URL] (I saved it as jpg to save you from the original 48mb tiff image.) And here's the original Aurora: [URL="http://imgkk.com/i/y9h5.jpg"]1.4 mb 2560px × 1600px[/URL] (Also, some extras:[URL="http://imgkk.com/i/3hfu.jpg"]1[/URL], [URL="http://imgkk.com/i/dl0u.jpg"]2[/URL], [URL="http://imgkk.com/i/xlkt.jpg"]3[/URL], [URL="http://imgkk.com/i/8f-x.jpg"]4[/URL] and [URL="http://imgkk.com/i/lk_7.jpg"]5[/URL].)

You watch a movie for 2 hours. Why would you hang up a poster of it? I just don't see the logic.
[QUOTE=Maccabee;23242766]You watch a movie for 2 hours. Why would you hang up a poster of it? I just don't see the logic.[/QUOTE] Cause you think the poster art looks good. You have a blank wall and need something on it. You liked the movie enough to want a picture of it on your wall.

[QUOTE=Maccabee;23242766]You watch a movie for 2 hours. Why would you hang up a poster of it? I just don't see the logic.[/QUOTE] Because, the movie is good and the poster is there to take up wall space with something that looks good, not just pictures of family and pets. Fucking pets :argh:
I'd rather hang a movie/game poster on a wall that was a reminder of a memorable experience than a large print out of a default OS wallpaper, but that's just me.

I should receive my components on Tuesday, then I shall setup my three monitors and I'll be loving it.
I'm just saying I'd rather hang a piece of art than a movie poster. Not that a movie poster can't be art, but I don't want to hang a movie poster. Except in our media room we have hung movie posters but that's because it goes with the theme. Of a media room. That you watch movies in.

Well it could be like this: [IMG]http://www.railroad.net/articles/railfanning/bct/media/BCT_DispatcherDesk_Large.jpg[/IMG]
Just for Maccabee I am going to take a picture of my desk and print it in a 36″x 48″ format. Then Hang it on my wall right in front of me.

you actually bought those rollup keyboards?
it was a gift... it works best if you have acrylic fingernails though.
I'm not saying it's bad or anything, I think it's a really cool concept. I just can't do without the decent tactile feedback.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;23246087]I can imagine a steampunk designed case and monitor being used on that. I got a interior-decorator-boner.[/QUOTE] That was an old train dispatcher desk. Would be cool if it was cleaned up and used again.
