Lightbulb Ben_D's setup needs pimping!

Right here goes....

I am a 16 year old and really wanting a new setup in my room. I have a budget of around £500, the setup is as follows;

Samsung LE32A456 32" TV
Samsung SM203BW 20" Monitor
Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.20 Ghz, 2GB 667Mhz RAM, 500GB HD, (NVIDIA 9500GT - Needs Pimping)
XBOX 360 20GB Premium Console w/ Media Center Remote
Acoustic Solutions Surround System (unknown model) - Needs Pimping

The TV and monitor how they are setup on my desk right now...


Double bed so obviously there is a little less room...



Wardrobe and drinks chiller like every young boy needs!


view from top left corner...


TV up close...


Monitor up close...


My main piece of kit...!!




Now what I was thinking of was where my mirror is on the wall i was going to build a chimney breast and house all my equipment on shelves inside the chimney breast.
The blue carpet will be going and a cream/beige carpet will be layed down.
Also I think a new wardrobe may be in store. The Acoustic Solutions surround will be sold shortly and I will be upgrading to
Samsung HT-THQ25's.

The surround is hooked up to my PC and my TV so both get nice sound!
I have my PC also hooked up to my TV so I can watch movies from my
PC on my TV, it is connected by a DVI to DVI cable so HD streaming!
I will post up some pics shortly as a prototype of what I want.
The chimney breast idea is most likely what I will go for and really looking for some help with it.
A projector is an idea but I don't have the money at this precise moment
as I am desperately looking for a job- none seem to be falling my way.
I'm a big gaming enthusiast and also web and graphic design so ideas on a graphics card please!!
My room is 3m x 3m, not that big I know but HEY it's a bedroom!

Please bear in mind I am a 16 year old student studying ICT, so I know my stuff when it comes to ICT.
More pics can be posted on request!
Look forward to hearing some feedback on this one!!
