Another update... less sound system more work now...

--------------------------------------------------------- Older ---------------------------------------------------------
Update, since becoming a student I've started running out of money so I've had to hold back - its been so hard!

Picked up a new surround sound system, specs:

Denon AVR-3806
Fronts - KEF IQ5 - QED Silver Ann XT Bi-wire
Centre - KEF IQ2C QED Silver Ann XT
Surround - Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 - QED Micro
Sub - KEF 10"

other bits:
ps3
humax hd
xbox360
toshiba hd dvd
Shuttle PC - this looks ugly as sin at the moment but I'm currently building the shell for it.

Still need to do something with the wires but I just cant be bothered!

Next on my list is a 1080p projector then I'm done, (he says!)

C&C welcome.

What you need is one of those alienware wrap around monitors!

Cool set up, but the wires.......

Room could do with a tidy up

woah i bet it gets hot in there doesnt it? i like how u have a monitor especially for 4:3 video lol. do u recomend the bose lifestyle, i was going to purchase them as they look so cool but couldnt afford them at the time. i might reconsider coz i love the design of the satelites!

Hi,

thanks for comments,

Bose Lifestyle sound incredible, the lifestyle 48 is the latest but only has a HDD over the older 38 35 etc...

at £3500 they are quite pricey but worth considering, go to the Bose outlet and have a listen to their demos!

Update:

Got rid of a desk, replaced it with a proper stand :-)

additions: Logitech G25 (best wheel in the world!) and Logitech harmony one :-)

Big improvement? Cable trunk isn't ideal but cant really see an easy alternative.

Cheers,
mush

Massive improvement, you can actually see your stuff now

What happened to your second Widescreen monitor?

mushk1n · 01-04-2008, 10:06 AM

It moved to the top of my HD DVD player at one point whilst I played COD4 or watched tv. I moved it to another room after that cos I don't really require it any more due to me working away from home 99% of the time.

cheers,

mush.

Fair cop, you did get in first

mushk1n · 01-04-2008, 9:20 PM

Well done! yes its an external media server from freecom!

What an awesome game that was... although it didn't last that long! maybe I should call EA games and sell my idea to them... do you reckon they would buy it?

I will say £1,000,000 first then will drop to 50p if they haggle hard...
