My College Gaming PC Setup

[Foxc0nn]

Do you like orange?

[TheMeanSgtPlaysPiano]

I wanna swithc from Xbox to PC only because of Red Orchestra Heroes of Stalingrad. :]

[janderson9413]

What's a good desktop gaming PC I can get. Under $1,000. Any ideas?

[shadow444222]

@janderson9413 best thing to do would be to built one yourself cause if u do that it can be alot cheaper

[Arran1994]

cool setup could of showed it to us on a better game like one that alot of people know about

[Mac4280]

lotta wires

[4g63fourlife]

You definatly could have got alot more for your money if you game. Of coarse for 2K you could have a quad core with sli or crossfire. but for 1500 you could have got a ASUS G73JW-XT1 with a gtx 460. or a ASUS G73JH-X3 with 5870 mobility, if you prefer ati. I just think for 2k you could have had a much more powerful setup

[BainbridgeNY]

@4g63fourlife I agree but this was almost 3 years ago. I just bought a $500 laptop that actually has better specs in some areas than this one but 3 years ago, all this was brand new top of the line..

[4g63fourlife]

@BainbridgeNY Lol yeah i saw that after i made the comment. nice set up for its time

[TheBalleKiller]

@4g63fourlife ive got an Asus g73s with 3D

[TheSharagoz]

Good thing i have my Razer Naga mouse:)

[RyuuMasato]

haha Man I always be seeing people with these big ass laptops, my boy Tyrone carry around a Toshiba around campus...and that thing is huge...My definition of something Mobile is a Sony Vaio EA black. But what ever man, nice setup you don't don't have a main rig you can go back and forth on?

[tallyhoman911]

wow you must get lots of girls :D

[IcyNit]

now you better not have keygen on there mister

[kezune90]

I've been using a Microsoft Habu mouse for over a year now, still best mouse ive ever bought, nice sensitivity, feels good and never had any wrist pain, its still in very good shape even though i use it for over 6 houres a day (informatics). No need for some shitty WoW mouse with over 9000 buttons or anything uber overpriced, this thing gets the job done.

[bibi550systems]

i bought  one yesterday (p-series)

[Ri1seAgainst]

how much did the laptop cost alone?

[keyzin]

can someone recommend me a good budget gaming setup with all necessary parts for it ... really appreciate it alot XD

[skaterdude297]

What website did you get the laptop from?

[TheMetallicFloyd]

Fucking love that mouse dude.

[Sn00z3y]

nice setup, i think, who don't like this style, don't watch this video..... (Y)

[BainbridgeNY]

comment fail

[shadower202]

@BainbridgeNY Yeah, you are...

[supraxz]

alll your stuff glows blue looks sick

[Hornilope]

yes i know its a mouse looser and it sucks ass

[BainbridgeNY]

its a computer mouse

.

[TheLilbrohere]

@BainbridgeNY This is a really good setup i am subscribing

[Hornilope]

habu is a joke

[BainbridgeNY]

its a computer mouse

.

[pcfix411]

You are doing a good job here.

[BainbridgeNY]

Thanks very much!

[Probound88]

Tight setup man!

[SuperNova20202020]

I have never seen serious gaming on a laptop.

Just, doesnt seem right.

[SiAnReviews]

True, but there are specialised gaming laptops.

[SuperNova20202020]

Yeah I know, but still cant compare to a good old Desktop.

[SiAnReviews]

Lol of course not.

[MrSimon510]

@SuperNova20202020 cant compare to a desktop, but if your willing to pay....you could get a laptop that can be just as good as any serious gamer....plus the big factor is being portable...like i love bringing my laptop and gear over to a friends place just in case.

[SuperNova20202020]

I see what you mean, but what is capable with some desktops isnt physically possible to fit into a laptop. Of course special gaming laptops will do the job, but its still hard to play Crysis at full specs even on the best of gaming laptops.

[MrSimon510]

not really some laptops are really huge....mines alone is 17 inch...with a nividia 270 gtx...some laptops can run 2 graphic cards like i found one with 2, 290 gtx in it....and with the new i& processors..i mean its pricy, but its definitly able to play any game

[SuperNova20202020]

Oh fair enough.

Still, its a lot cheaper to get a desktop with the same specs as one of those laptops.

[amorrow794]

i agree desktops better laptops are good but ill always prefere my desktop :D i dont really like the touch pad thing on laptops :(

[NaTiVeLoVa]

Then buy a mouse haha

[Ravenex2]

@SuperNova20202020 I have a laptop and what I realized (1.6GHz x1 processor) is that the performance degrades horribly as I stay on it for hours. I think for the rest of my life I'll go for desktops....it seems the fans will mitigate much of the heating problems when the processor gets hot in the laptop.

[RichColours]

Yes they can if the laptop is an alienware.

[SuperNova20202020]

Alienware. People instantly think its brilliant because of the price tag and fancy lights. What you pay for an Alienware PC/laptop you could build a computer with twice the specs!

[Probound88]

Like an:

Alienware M17x

and VooDoo Laptops.

I have the M17x I can game LFD2 and Crysis all on High!

So there are laptops that are made for PC gaming.

There just expensive!

[StasikYakovlev]

lol, same mouse. Nice to see it :)

[MassMurderrer]

i just have a hp dv6500 entertainment pc, hd all around. 15.4" hd brightveiw widescreen, hd audio, 250gb hdd, and i replacede the ram with 4gig ram

[misticsniper]

dude is 8800gt better than like a 9600

[bowgamer]

LOL DUDE U HAVE MY LAPTOP

im using it to write this comment

i have the gateway p-7805u fx

i luv this laptop

[BainbridgeNY]

nice,

im def jealous

.

but sadly this was before the new gforce came out

.

[TheAntzYeAh]

Pretty nice if it just cost you around 2000 dollars..

[MrStanteno]

very nice

[Muratarh]

Cooooool

[felixthemaster1]

nice!

every headphone i buy, i break in a week!

[MageDb0w]

fail

[felixthemaster1]

lol thanks.....

[BainbridgeNY]

to be honest, the trittons stop working a little ago

its a shame too because they really are nice headphones

in the market for another pair as we speak

.

[XXFOGOLDR0PSH0T3XX]

nice setup btw i live on bainbridge island WA

[BainbridgeNY]

ha, ive seen some vids from there

when i was searching for any local NY vids

.

[btbxfatal]

awsome =]

[productfeedback]

nice

[southpaw1447]

sick setup, but id think you wouldnt have much time to play games in college, idk i could be wrong comment back!

[BainbridgeNY]

Thanks!

you get alot of downtime in college

not to mention games can be a good stress reliever

and being able to run a high quality game can show how powerful your comp is so you know you can handle things like photoshop and such

,

[Eeeeemerica]

How's the belkin game pad thing (forgot the name) ? I'm debating on getting it or not.

[BainbridgeNY]

its nice for certain games.

fps, and anything where your going to need quick access is what its best for

.

i recommend it

.

[jailboie44]

ok, thanks!

[jailboie44]

how much was the mouse?

[BainbridgeNY]

i bought it for $50

but i've seen it cheaper online

.

[BainbridgeNY]

yea, i agree

that cloth just happened to be on my table when i went to record this. ;p thats actually my desk back home. i use it everywhere so its on the move a lot but i agree on keeping it elevated.

[BainbridgeNY]

yea, thats why i bought it.

its a great mix of high performance

at a low price

.

[treesapa]

yo man, do you ever get overheating on that laptop after playing for a bit. with my acer 6920(geforce9500m gs) i get overheatinage after 5 mins of l4d.... :( ?

[BainbridgeNY]

i've never had any overheating problems yet.

the cooling fans do a pretty good job keeping it cool.

but sorry about your acer. maybe try a cooling pad like mentioned below.

[SimondetArthur]

Nice setup you got going.

[badjoj015]

I dont use any mouse pads for my game.

Im just doing awesomely fine, Im owning without my mouse pad.

[ I have a mouse pad, but i just dont want to use it coz the surface of it is rough and i want my mouse to be little bit sensitive ]

COOL GAMING SETUP THOUGH! :D 5/5

[BainbridgeNY]

thanks!

.

[gschreiber94]

so that laptop is a pretty dedent gaming laptop

[essentialeugene]

Hey Bainbridge NY this is Essential Eugene. There is a new video card out. It's the Radeon Sapphire card. It's a 4870 X2. It has 2 cores, 3,900 MHz, and other features. It's powerful than mine. I have the NVIDIA 9600 GT GeForce graphics card. I can play any game now.

[BainbridgeNY]

yea, i've heard about some new cards out

.

im thinking about upgrading mine

but im doing pretty well for now

im also more of an console gamer

but thanks for the update

and thanks for viewing

.

[fuzzstrat]

This laptop is almost exactly what I'm looking for....if only it had a backlit keyboard.

Seriously. :/

[BainbridgeNY]

i completely agree

the keyboard itself is amazing

as in feel and size

but a backlight would be nice

and maybe not make the numbers in dark orange

.

[fuzzstrat]

I've been looking around for a gaming rig and the Gateway is the most attractive for the price so far. The Dell Studio 17 and Studio XPS 16 look really awesome (again, because of the keyboard), but the card in the Gateway is miles ahead. Oh well...you're still rocking this rig, so it must be great. :)

[techking00107]

what wallpaper is that?

[theKenyan]

hey, was just wondering if you were using the same drivers from the tritton website. last time, i tried to use them, they never worked properly. my old plantronics are about to die, so i dusted my trittons off and about to try and get them working.

so using same drivers that came in box or not?

thanks, would love to get them working again :)

[BainbridgeNY]

i guess i should be

i used the cd that came with them

but i hope this helps

.

[chp13u]

thats a pretty good laptop

i just got a 2.8 ghz intel processor

4gb of ddr2 ram

nvedia geforce 512mb 9600mgt

500 gb harddrive 7200rpm

its nice

was 1475 i think

[BainbridgeNY]

nice, im jealous :p yea, right after i bought this laptop [maybe a week after] gateway came out with their new fx seires and i was like, crap ha . but i still love this laptop its good to see powerful computers at a fair price

[chp13u]

wut games do u play on your gaming laptop?

[BainbridgeNY]

unreal

crysis

counter strike

soldat

grid

lost planet

[slyslus]

gaming on a labtop..haha..what can you play? Halo? Come on..man...WTF? What a waste of money..you could have built something better..hell just my processor cost as much as that pos. =D

[nugget275]

he's gonna need something mobile since he's in college which you obviously don't grasp the concept of.  you spelled laptop wrong.

[oldrskool]

over two thousand dollars easily

[BainbridgeNY]

suprisingly not by much.

maybe like 50 over

:O

[liamisic911]

why would some one be a noob for gaming on a laptop in college

[BainbridgeNY]

exactly

.

thank you

[PeaceSells92]

I sure would like that 8800M GTS :D

I have centrino2 2.00 GHz and 9600M GS :/

[snoflyer2000]

get a desktop noob. or better yet, build it.

[BainbridgeNY]

im in college. a laptops wayy more practical. but ill def. get a desktop eventually. no need for name calling.

[cschilling93]

yea what are you talking about snoflying2000.

[tteeuunnttjjee]

lol i had that background 2 xDD

[hildre2007]

nice

[luis61961944]

nice mitfist

[Negative132]

I got that laptop its awesome

[PAN1C1994]

Nice Setup Dude.

[Kesdrali]

Now THAT is a nice gaming setup. Everything looks pretty good. I usually do not like laptops for gaming but this doesn't seem bad at all. How much were those headphones?

[BainbridgeNY]

i believe i got them for about 70 dollars from gateways website.

[ManTiddies42]

ha i have the same exact one! not exactly unlikely tho since tritton makes such amazing headphones.

[LordChadwick777]

oh btw nice mouse choice. i have the habu as well with the razer exactmat.

[LordChadwick777]

wait, i missed that part..

8800 huh? I don't believe for a second you can run crysis on "high" (i'm assuming ALL settings to high) with "little lag issue."

You might be able to skate by on medium settings. I'd bet all the coin in my pocket though that on all high, you and lag would be butt buddies. you should do a video of that and prove me wrong.

[BainbridgeNY]

i guarantee you i can run it on high. dont worry.. it amazed me to. i do only deal with little to no lag and ill try to put up a vid when i go home for thanksgiving break. and i agree, the habu is really a great mouse.

[LordChadwick777]

lol why show off unreal tournament 3 i wanted to see you play crysis on that..

you said you can play on high with "almost no lag?" Yeah, I wanna see THAT.

If that's true then that thing must have some beastly ass onboard video LOL

[burrell2k711203]

dude the only thing i did not like is the the low light always remember turn on some lights

[BainbridgeNY]

alright, thanks for the advice

.

[Grapezezez]

How do you like the headset, I just purchased it and i would like a little feedback =D

[DavidisCrazy15]

wat is the gateway website

[K1NGRHYZ]

do the tritton AXPC work on the 360 ??!

[BainbridgeNY]

you know, ive never tried that yet.

ill try it today and post the results back up here.

it'd be sweet if they did,

the trittons sound absolutely great.

[K1NGRHYZ]

thanx alot

[BainbridgeNY]

sadly they dont work because the only audio jack on the 360 is the one on the controller. but check out the new mlg headsets. they're exspensive but sick nasty.

[toliyg]

unreal sucks so much, its like an arcade in the 70's hella lame, nice laptop tho i have the Gateway fx desktop im getting the laptop as well pretty soon!

[CAPILVEK]

GEEK! :D NICE!

[BainbridgeNY]

hah yea well .. actually you should see my dorm room we have an xbox 360 a ps3 and a wii so were set . :p .

[canderton01]

Hey I got a question, how big is an average college dorm room? Ill be heading off to college in like 2 years and I don't want to leave all my a/v gear behind. I have a 32'' LCD HDTV, a PS3, Xbox 360, HD DVD player, Onkyo 606, and a Cerwin Vega/Polk surround sound setup. A couple of the colleges I am considering are close to my house anyway, so I guess I could live at home and save some money plus I don't want to have to worry about my stuff getting stolen or anything like that, what do ya think?

[BainbridgeNY]

it depends. my dorm room its a nice size. i dont have an hdtv but alot of guys around me have prett big hdtv's in their rooms. my roommate and i have a 360 a ps3 and a wii in our room and its a nice setup so it shouldnt be too bad. plus like where i am you only live in a dorm for your first year anyway. but yea, i hope this helped. comment any other questions you might have.

[canderton01]

So you HAVE to live in a dorm your first year? You can't live in a off-campus apartment or your home?

[BainbridgeNY]

well it depends. like here at WVU if you live within 50 mile of the campus you can be a commuter so you can either live in an apartment or anywhere off campus. but youll prob. want to live in an apartment or something away from home.. ya kno, for some personal freedom :P

[killerfocker]

razer... looks like a wannabe but if is a razer good for u btw i got copperhead

[BainbridgeNY]

[masterchief497]

lol college game setup..very nice idea =P

[BainbridgeNY]

hah, yea.. i mean what else is there to do in college

:p

.

just kidding kids, stay in school

/.

[Tdaz250]

what do you use the belkin thing for? i've seen it at the store and thought about getting one, but didnt really know what i would use it for.

[BainbridgeNY]

it's a speedpad which basically means it's a small programable keyboard. it has 15 keys plus a thumb button, d-pad/joystick, and a scrool wheel with middle click. it comes with a cd that you install that lets you program every key, and macros, and lets you save the key settings into diffrent profiles. it's nice because you can program it for diffrent games so everythings easier to reach and more comfortable and somewhat faster ,hence speedpad. ill put up a vid. if you want. hope this helps.

[thomas744]

very nice =)

[m0nk3y562]

dam nice vid man, lol one big favor, can u do a vid of you playing css zombie mod because i was thinking of buy the same laptop and wondering if it lags. thax for the vid

[BainbridgeNY]

yea, jus where do i get the zombie mod. ill play reg. css if you want too.

[defragen1]

more like gay mouse - really good mousepad

[BainbridgeNY]

yea, i guess i wouldn't know. this is my first 'gaming mouse' so to me its very nice, ecspecially from moving from one of thoes mini usb travel mice. but no doubt ill be upgrading diffrent to things later. but to me it works perfectly. for the moment.

[Poloxinated]

sweet what games you play

[BainbridgeNY]

i play

unreal 3

counter strike source

crysis

and i actually got halo 2 from gateways site when i ordered so im just waiting for it to come in.
