There are two speakers behind the xmas trees...decorator decided to block them :( Using the PGR3 theme. One of the best looking out of the bunch imo. Anyways components are:

Sony 65" XBR HDTV (720p / 1080i)

Denon AVR-3805

Samsung HD841 DVD Player

5.1 Channel In-wall Surround Speakers

Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

and all my gaming systems (older ones are on the left)

First from the UK I'm guessing, but I'm upgrading my TV in the new year to one of these.

Due to the wide angle of the shot, taken with Panoramic features of the Sony Ericsson k750i camera phone,

view my setup here.

Sound is provided by Technics 5.1 Surrond sound system, TV is a 28" Panasonic CRT EDTV.

It could be just the angle of the phone when the picture was taken, but it looks like your xbox is tipping onto its lleft side. :rofl:

Nice setup nonetheless :)

So this weekend my sub got killed by our frequent power spikes/brown-outs which have been happening lately. Although Klipsch probably would replace it, I instead decided to start the planned upgrade of my speakers with the sub - and replaced the ProMedia Ultra sub with a Klipsch Synergy 12" - I'll have to take some updated pics at some point :)

That sucks. If you have a surge protector from a decent company, they should pay for your new equipment under their warranty.

Yeah it was plugged directly into the wall =/ Won't make that mistake again.

The computers are both plugged into a UPS and everything else is surge protected. I'd meant to get one to the subwoofer but apparently it slipped my mind, until it was too late. I should've known better since I'd had a sub/amp combo go bad from something similar before.

Don't make the same mistake!

damn esco, this is the reason Money can create happiness.

can i come over?

sure! :laugh:

anyways, i'll be posting a new picture of the setup next week. I ordered some nice a/v racks for all my equipment + wireless NES and wireless SNES controllers :woot:

I have NES, Super NES, Sega Genesis, N64, Nintendo Gamecube, PS, PS2, Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advanced, Gameboy SP, Nintendo DS, and Dreamcast (which I am proud to say I am VERY unhappy with... :| )

I've been thinking about piling them all up and taking a pic for a sig or something...

EDIT: Oh and by the way, esco, I can see you've got a Gamecube set up there...heh...I'm not a big fan of XBOX, although it does have quite a few nice titles. I also like the design of the 360...very slick.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
