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.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better. If you are in the market for one, then grab this Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 kit with RGB for a low price of just $340 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The kit is compatible with both AMD and Intel systems as it supports both EXPO and XMP overclocking profiles, respectively. 6000 MT/s is often the sweet spot for many systems as it provides ample data transfer speed while still being on Gear 1 mode. This Vengeance variant has RGB so if you love bright setups with such lighting, this is a win-win for you. The technical specifications of the Corsair Vengeance memory kit are given in the table below: Specification Value Memory Type DDR5 Memory Size (Total) 32GB Kit Configuration 2 × 16GB Form Factor UDIMM (Desktop) Pin Count 288-pin Speed (Data Rate) 6000 MT/s Speed Rating PC5-48000 Tested CAS Latency 38-44-44-96 Voltage (Tested) 1.35V Performance Profile AMD EXPO & Intel XMP Heat Spreader Aluminum heatspreader Cooling Type Passive (Heatsink) Lighting Ten Zone RGB Software Support Corsair iCUE Get it at the link below: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 CL38 – Gray (CMH32GX5M1E6000Z38): $339.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US, Fulfilled by Amazon US) This Woot deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
