mushk1n's budget room
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.
Josh

Re: mushk1n's budget room
What you need is one of those alienware wrap around monitors!

Re: mushk1n's budget room

Re: mushk1n's budget room
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!

Re: mushk1n's budget room
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

Re: mushk1n's budget room
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.
