I have not been on this forum in a while. I have two kids now, and that may be why...
Anyway. We moved into a bigger appartment with a nicer living room, which is now taken up by my HT setup... again. IT's still cheap, but I like it.
Here's what I have:
-Custom made HTPC/ 16gigs ram/ AMD RADEON HD 6870/ 3 hdds w/2tb total storage
-PS3 for Bluray/gaming
-2 Acoustic Research rear sattelites
-An AR 10" 200w subwoofer -down-firing
-Denon AVR 588 Receiver
-Wal Mart entertainment cube with custom DIY glass door and additions.
-Custom home-made center channel made from the guts of a Sony SS-CN5000
-2 Sony SSF-5000's floor standers. Cause I'm still cheap.
-Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 8350 projector
-Elite Screens 120" projector screen
And some deco items, because it is a new hobby of mine.
Projector:
Custom blu-ray rack I built into a 1947 Firestone radio I found at a garage sale for $20. Gutted and repurposed.
It's made of mahogany panels and held in the back of the trim on the radio with screws. At any time the radio can be put back together. I also stripped and refinished the whole cabinet.
Movie inspired decorations
And then I found some chrome striping and fake knobs at Autozone. Would look stupid on a car, but does great for 1940's radio dress-up.
Picture of me, in front of said bluray holder.
I also recently got into restoring and repainting 1930s-50's bakelite tube radios. Would post if anyone was interested.
