Hi Guys
I have read around this forum for some time, story is I moved back to my parents a while back and started to get a bit of AV kit around me, I redecorated my room and started to slowly get some stuff round me, bare with me I have tried to put photos on here, (Something i have not done before so if these don't turn out and just appear as a load of crap text then its because i don't know what i am doing ) Anyway here goes fingers crossed
First Shot below is a shot of the rear of the room with my 2 rear speakers as you can see
The front of the room you will see is a unit I purchased from Ikea with all my kit on it. Pretty good and solid with ample space, I tried to take it so i could get the full width of the room in.
This one is a closer shot of the unit with the TV mounted on, speakers, my macbook pro etc as you can see
On the right hand side of the unit you can see i have used this for my XBOX 360 Slim (250GB) and my WiFi printer
On the left hand side of the unit I am using this to house my HTPC and my Denon 1910, the fit was just right for both with a glass shelf separating them, ventilation seems pretty good.
On the left hand side of the unit I had just about enough space for my subwoofer, this was a lot bigger than i anticipated but luckily it fitted ok.

I have tried to take a few shots with various sources running to show, well as best as the photos will show !!! This one is a shot of the TV just running standard def TV through coax aerial, pretty good.
Next is a shot with the XBOX 360 running through it, picture quality is superb.
This is my HTPC on the initial Windows screen
This shows the intial menu within Mediabrowser on the HTPC
The movie selection screen with mediabrowser
The movie details screen

Batman - Dark Knight - Blu Ray with HD Audio (picture not so great with dark image)
The Holy Grail - The Proof - The Blue Light Heaven From HTPC Wahooo !
Another Shot Of HTPC and Denon 1910 - Blue Light Again !!!!
Toy Story 3 - Blu Ray
And Again......More Toy Story 3 Blu Ray
Overall I am chuffed to bits with the new kit, I did own before a Onkyo 606 and Kef 1.2 speakers, I must admit this new kit blows it out the water, The amp is superb and these speakers i cannot speak highly enough about for the cost, great build quality and sound from them especially HD is immense, in my opinion they are much better than my previous Kef's and I much prefer my Denon 1910 over the Onkyo 606 the quality of sound seems to be a more cleaner and crisp sound, just my opinion really. And last of all its all in Gloss Black so it matches, petty I know but i prefer it looking all the same. Before my speakers were silver, amp black mmmmm not good.
The only addition i want now is a projector, i am looking at the Optoma HD200X, I think that is the last thing i want now to complete my kit for the time being. I am stuck on what size screen and what type of screen to match with this as there is so many out there, it has to be electric not manual but anyone offer any thoughts on matt, glass beaded etc that would be a massive help as i am bit stuck with this.
I am thinking if i get the passport stamped of mounting it on this wall or a shelf as you can see below.
If anyone has any questions thoughts or recommendations on anything then i am all ears !!!
Cheers Guys
