Not a good place to have a room stat lol
Nice setup Vidal Babboon - looks like you've done a nice job with the integrated fireplace/cabinet
Ben - again, nice The Monitors are lovely speakers. Are they silver? Look that way in the picture, but never seen them in a silver finish??
Agree about the room stat, don't know about your PX60, but my G10 has the exhaust fans pointing right where your stat is!!
Yes they're silver finish.
The bottom of the stat has a lot of heat tape under it - same stuff you'd use under the bonnet of your car
I want to do the whole false wall thing next, I have an understairs cupboard behind the TV where all the AV gear could be relocated into a nice rack...
Ben i have the Logitech Harmony One and the PS3 adapter.. At the moment its my fav gadget i have replaced 6 remotes with it and love the macros. Just wish i could define my own in the software.
Do it
My next setup is going to be completely remote, there is not much storage space in this house so was easier to built it the way i have.
All i want in the next house is the TV recessed into the wall and nothing else, it's going to involve a fair bit of demolition and some serious re engineering but im determined to do it now lol
Also recessing/hiding the speakers as far as possible
You can make it do anything the original remote can do. If Logitech don't have all the discrete codes in their online database then you can just learn them off the remote.
The PS3 adapter is a little black box that translates IR into Bluetooth for you so you get full 'PS button' functionality from the remote.
Heres mine!
Wow the iphone camera is sooooo rubbish!
My set ups are cheap, but effective
In my main living room I have a flat widescreen Sony CRT hooked up to a DVD player and a Freeview box with built in hard drives, playing through a JVC stereo with simulated surround sound...
Even thought the surround sound is simulated, it is surprisingly rather good. As I live in a flat, I can't crank the volume up too much anyway without disturbing the neighbours below, so it works well.
In my second living room, I have a flat widescreen JVC CRT, hooked up to a surround sound DVD player...
This is in the loft, I can crank it up to 11 and enjoy it without disturbing any neighbours
heres a quick pic of mine....
Will be wall mounted in my room eventually. but this will do for now
LG 42LF66 1080P LCD tv
Samsung AV-R720 Amp (can run hdmi but i cant get it to work... need to sset it up properly for my room but ill do that once i move it)
Samsung DVD-HD850 upscaling DVD player (HDMI)
Xbox 360 elite.
Nintendo Wii (mums)
Sky, not hd or + unfortunately.
All running through Tannoy EFX 5.1 speaker package, stuck to the walls in silly places with 3m command strips lol.
like your stand ferret, here is my setup. I was only a student and dont have a house etc so i figure this will always be my bedroom setup then when i get my own place ill work on something bigger. So for now i have:
Samsung 32" 720p 100hz tv
Samsung DVD player with HDMI upscaling and 5.1 surround (centre speaker on top of xbox)
XBox 360
XBox HD-DVD player (you know how we do!)
and to garnish a Japanese sweetie box to cover the light on the power back as it keeps me up a Mercedes CLK GTR and a Peugeot 908 HDi FAP
Hoping to move onto 1080p or something that will be 3dtv compatable when i move on from this but think it does pretty well for the bedroom.
here is my set up. the boombox in the corner is actually home to a media centre PC that runs my tv and all my media through windows 7 media center software.
I just upgrade all the internals this weekend with a new processor, motherboard, ram, funky graphics and sound... I'll get more build pics up when i can.
cheers dude, it was originally a Hitachi ghetto blaster from the 1980's, here's the thread from the original build some time ago...

It's just gone through a major revamp and has a few more things to go yet, works very nicely though!
that is badass!! Good with general pc building then i guess? Ill get a pic up of my home cinema if my iphone works.
That boom box is awesome!!!
My Little setup
This is my claimed games room (was going to be a garden room but I got my way )
