Please do not post in this topic for help, only for questions concerning my setup. Create a new thread if you require assistance.
HARDWARE - Most hardware, if not all, have been bought using many generous donations from the viewers. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

Computer Case: NZXT Alpha Black Steel ATX (looking toward a new case in the near future. COOLER DOES NOT FIT! Unless you remove the side window fan.)
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146041
No SSD. Just a regular 7200RPM SATA drive.
Capture Card: BlackMagic Intensity Pro - For all consoles, including PS2 and Wii
=> www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
=> Click HERE for my settings.
Mixer: HT Omega Striker 7.1
=> This is a PCI sound-card which acts as a mixer. It has a "stereo mix" recording option which records everything played on my computer.
=> www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829271001
PC Headset: SENNHEISER PC350
=> www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106219&Tpk=pc350
Xbox 360 Headset: Turtle Beach X1
=> www.turtlebeach.com/products/efx1a/home.aspx
Microphone: Technica ATR 3350 Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone
=> A simple clip-on microphone for when I have to wear my Turtle Beach X1, and obviously can't wear a PC headset to talk to viewers. This thing kinda sucks. At least for me.

Monitor: ASUS VH236H 23" 2ms (HD) - This is what I use for HD gaming consoles (360, PS3). I also use it as a second PC monitor when I'm not playing.
=> www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236059
I have a second monitor but it's an old hand-me-down. Don't ask!

NEW Encoder: XSplit Broadcaster (all-in-one casting software!)
=> www.xsplit.com
OLDER SOFTWARE
Encoder: Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder (FMLE) 3.1

Internet Service Provider: Comcast Cable - Sorry I don't know the specific plan I'm currently under, but I can say it's really fast:
Hope this helps. Post here if you have any questions, especially if you think something is missing here. I want these FAQs to cover as many common questions as possible.
