Let's see your "Home Theater" setup.

[got traction]

Thats a nice setup! I've done a few multi-purpose rooms like that at work.

Few questions- Why is the projector so close to the fan? How do you like the Epson projector (if its not an epson, which is it)?
Got any pictures of the rack?

That looks sick!

I just have a lil Klipshe 2.1 agx system...nothing special but it sounds good to me.

Whenever I get a house, I'm totally hiring marc to outfit it for it.

just picked up the entertainment center and tv after xmas for 200 bucks! (only really wanted the center tv was an added bonus) the tv is actually a 53 in hatachi first gen hd but is being replaced with a 52 samsung lcd in a few weeks, got the ps3 and a magnavox 5.1 surround sound....it does the trick for now!

Nice setup man! What kind of projector did you have? I absolutely LOVE my Joe Kane edition Samsung, bulb life has been great, and they are only $150 when I need a new one.
What towers are those? I've been toying with the idea of changing my Triad's out for something new...
Have you thought about a control system?

home theaters aren't just my hobby anymore, I've made a career out of it. That's definitely helped with some of the prices... Most of my equipment came at dealer cost, plus freight.

PM me if you have any setup questions, or for ideas.

I have a 47" toshiba beast of a tv that sits on the floor, hooked up to a realistic 4 channel reciever with 4 jvc floor speakers (12" subs) and a powered sony sub (the one with 2 10's) plus my ps3. This is in my room cuz all i do there is gaming lol. I think ive paid like 500 for everything

You guys spend too much dough.

I have a 42" Samsung HD LCD synch'd with a Samsung BD player w/wireless for Netflix/Pandora/Etc. Mac G4 Pro tower hooked up as well.

My surround sound took a dump when my receiver went up in smoke. I have a 7.1 Yamaha setup sitting in the closet now waiting for a new head unit.

Any suggestions for a new head unit under $500?

Onkyo TX-SR607 Rock solid unit, 7.2, HDMI switching and up-conversion. Great unit for a hell of a price.

The bad- it runs a little hot, so ventilation is KEY

B&H has them for $400...

I've got its biggest brother, the Integra DTR-9.9

To bad it's not his.

I like. Don't need the upconversion since the BD player takes care of that but I'll need to add a couple fans to the cabinet to insure it stays cool.

I knew it wasn't his, if it was, he'd have more pictures of it, and be able to answer my questions.
I just didn't want to point it out first.

One of the other installers I'm friends with has a separate A/C system for his equipment rack... That insane.

My rack has forced air inlet at the bottom (filtered) from the room, and a return duct in the ceiling. So far, so good.

I like the Middle Atlantic Cab-Cool for most living room sized systems, and entertainment centers. But then again a few computer fans and your good to go.

 

[LowNotSlow]

I have a couple 120mm computer fans I can hook up to the back of the cabinet.

If you can afford it and have the space, bigger fans (250mm) will be a better investment. they produce less noise and give better CFM than 120s.
