Bedroom Wall Projector [LARGE PICS WARNING]

I had a friend over and we decided to hook up his brand new projector
up to his 360 and my computer. It was pretty easy to get his 360
hooked up, but in order to hook my computer up I had to turn it
around backwards on my desk and slide the desk about 5 feet
closer to the bed so the input could reach. I tacked a large white
sheet up onto the far wall of my room so we wouldnt have to play
over the door and other shit.

After some Halo 3, we decided to hook my computer up to the
projector. My new graphics card came today (a Geforce XFX
512mb 8800GT) so I decided it was a good time to see how well
bioshock would run. I jacked the resolution to 1600x1200 and turned
all the settings as high as they would go and it played with a
flawless 50-60 fps (thats an assumption because the framerate

never dipped once throught the first 2 levels). After that I played
some geometry wars and a little portal just for the hell of it. After
this post I'm going to see how crysis runs. But anyway, here's
some pictures I took of our nifty little setup.

This first pic is basically just showing my computer and all the wires.

This is a picture of my friends projector.

This a picture of us getting everything adjusted and setup (trying to arrange shit on my desk so that it didn't block the screen).

Almost adjusted, still a bit fuzzy, mostly due to bad camera work.

Finally, everything set up to our standards

A desktop shot.

Some geometry wars shots (not very good because I was moving with one hand and holding the camera with the other).

Another geowars shot.

Scroll to the far left to get a feel for the size of the projection (base it on the top of the door frame and coffin case) Thats the starting portal chamber btw.

Another desktop shot.

And finally, right after I started up bioshock.

The projected image looked much better then the pictures that I took. All and all was a really good time.

All the classrooms at my school have projectors so we were able to hook up a wii during 7th period.

I'd say "oooh badass man!" like it probably is, but the res on the pictures are too high for me to be able to get an idea of wahts even going on.

Anyway, will you ahve access to that this summer? Wink
