Please post you setups.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that I enjoy seeing what others have done with their living rooms and game rooms.

Get those cameras out and lets see some impressive little setups.

Ready, set, GOOOOOOOO!!!

[prripper]

-Samsung 61" DLP
-Xbox360 w/HDDVD Player, wireless racing wheel, and Harmony 360 remote (very cool)
-Nintendo Wii
-Sony Receiver w/HDMI passthrough
-Sony Playstation 3
-Sony 400 disk DVD player
-Ipod HiFi
-Directv HD Receiver

I'm in the process of getting rid of my Samsung Receiver/DVD changer and running new speaker wire through the attic to use my new Sony receiver. The Samsung only had one fiber optic audio input and that just wasn't getting it done. Plus I was interested in teh HDMI passthrough that the sony made available.

My small living-room setup, we're thinking about moving everything to a bigger room in the front of the house - if we do I'll take new pics.
Equipment:
Toshiba 57HX83 57" RPTV
Motorola 6412 HD- DVR hooked up via component cable (service by Comcast)
Denon DVD-1910 upscaling DVD player hooked up via DVI cable
XBox 360 core system with HDD hooked up via component cable
Onkyo HTS570 5.1 surround sound system (HTIB)

Wow that was way to difficult anyway here is what I have so far
PS3 hooked via HDMI
Sony KDS50A2000
Sony Upscaling DVD player connected HDMI
Slim Silver PS2 connected through component

My stuff is over at avsforum for sure. My username over there is Trendy8, I haven't updated my pics over there in a while though - I think it's from my old apartment still (which was actually a nicer setup and a lot larger room). I enjoy browsing the galleries over there as well, some of those guys have just the sickest equipment you could possibly dream of and amazing dedicated theater rooms. I end up getting really envious but it's great to get ideas for what I'd like to build some day.

[prripper]

Nah, I've never been there before. I'll have to check it out!

I need to get my racing seat out of the back room and take some pics...the female won't let me keep it in the living room.

Got a Playseat for my Wireless racing wheel to mount on...this thing is BAD

I like the Brian and Master Shake

ttt.for my new fav. thread

[civictyperboy]

It was in a series of the Family Guy figures series 5 maybe...

I will post mine when I get an HDTV soon...

[toomanyfigures]

id post but my tv cant hang

[prripper]

post anyway...this isn't a "who has the biggest TV" competition

ttt

[cjclifford]

I might take some picutres of my entertainment center later, when it doesn't look like a big heap of crap. In the mean time I'll post a link to the HDTV I have. What sucks about this, when I bought in May, it cost me $400 more than it's listed now on Best Buy's website.

My gaming/sports room is under serious construction so these pics are rough to say the least but heres an overview of most of the stuff I have until the UPS man hooks me up with the rest. (also please excuse the god awful camera)

Heres the Mcfarlane Wall...still got some serious work to do here as I'm about 7 series behind what has to go up. The 2nd picture is another shot of the wall but it's got the fathead that also needs to get put up one of these days just gotta move some light switches around to make things work how I want them to.

This is my pride and joy....keeps all my friends grubby hands from looting my fridge. For those not familiar it's basically just a standard vending machine that maytag puts out but it's got customizable side and front panels so you can outfit it with your favorite sports team

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...g?t=1167354481

Heres my gaming stuff...just a ton of controllers that I have no place for and my games/movies. Right now I'm just looking for a good storage device because as it stands I just have random stacks of games and movies littered throughout the room.

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...g?t=1167358560
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d1...g?t=1167354998

TV - Samsung HLS-7178W
Service - Dish Network HD DVR
Receiver - Yamaha HTR-6090
Systems - PS3, Xbox360, Wii

I still got a ton of work left. I gotta hang like 100 more figures, have no dvd/game rack, wire management is AWFUL, and surround sound should hopefully be here a bit after the new year

[prripper]

very nice chugga...now go DUST!!!

[TheRedOx]

Great stuff Chugga. I gotta say my favorite item in that room has to be the Skybox fridge.

[toomanyfigures]

It's probably the smartest purchase I've made in a while. I just didn't want people running all through my house or more importantly me running all through my house everytime someone wanted something to drink/eat. So now I try to keep that stocked up with different drinks etc and all the food is down below in the stand. When I have people over for football games etc it's a lifesaver.

[MangaSpawn64]

Damn ! I just loooooove seeing other people setups... kicks mucho ass !!!

I should take pics of my projector setup, but it's not my projector (borrowed from work) and everything is in temporary position until I get my own....

Found it sereis 6! yeah! Thanks! Don't collect Family guy figs but that one is a must have for me.

Damn that's a nice TV Chugga.

[PrimeBane]

Nice stuff guys

I'll have to take some pics, although the HT in the basement I seriously need to upgrade the tv and receiver.

[TheRedOx]

After painting and completely switching two different rooms around over the last 24 hours here's what mine looks like today:


I love it - it's probably a couple feet greater viewing distance, I'm in love with the rust color on the walls, everything's just better all around. Total cost for the remodel, excluding $25 Home Depot gift card, was $11.00 - pretty dramatic improvement I think.

Well my setup is very basic, but I can't afford an HDTV right now. Here it is anyway.

The television is a 20" Toshiba flat screen from 2002. The DVD player is hooked up with component cables, the GameCube with S-Video and the PS2 with composite. I ran out of room so my N64 and SNES systems are in the closet.





And if Best Buy ever gets more systems in stock, i'll be playing this on my new Wii. For now it just mocks me.

[prripper]

looking good fellas...keep 'em comin

Mind telling me where you got your audio/video stand ... been looking for something like that but am having no luck. Thnx ...

Chugga-how much does the pop dispenser go for with team side panels. How much do they hold?

The vending machine itself (top half) goes for $500 flat.

The stand/base below it is I believe $100 and a must buy. Without it you are either vending soda into the floor or worst of all you don't have a place to keep food/snacks

Then the side panels are like $30 each and they had all the major sports to choose from and movies/tv shows were on the way.

It holds 12 cans of the first brand you want, 18 of the next, 18 of the next and 18 of the next for a grand total of 66 cans. Something like 30 or so bottles.
