    Nice setup though. Might take a few photos of mine as it has changed a bit of late.

    Indeed I have a minifridge on order

    Any ideas on how I can hide all the LEDS in my front rack?

    They can be slightly off putting whn watching movies.

    Re: Your HDTV Setups

    do you mean the light bricks in your wall, or the 'gear'.

    My reciver lets you control brightness from the remote. The media PCs either have the LEDs not wired up (in my bedroom) or via a large resistor to make them dim (in the lounge).

    Dimming the light bricks would be more tricky, but definately possible!

    What's your setup? Speakers/av amp etc? What cost?

    Cheers.

    Re: Your HDTV Setups

    Tv is toshiba is 42x3030d (got it for £630 last year)

    Front left and right speakers are Kef Q80's (run at 125watts, 8ohms) been in the family for 10+ years so couldn't tell you the cost.

    Centre speaker is part of a pioneer xv-dv55 dvd speaker system

    Speakers are run using the pioneer dv55 amp, which is ok as don't get a chance to go above 20-30watts, as living in a flat.

    Games are consoles are the infamous n64 and SNES. Both of which are awesome.

    Above the right speaker is the receiver for my sennheiser rs130, which i recommend for anyone wanting wireless headphones!

    Re: Your HDTV Setups

    Well, it seems the Asus Xonar Slim is in stock in the UK now, so I have one on order, plus a Monitor Audio Radius R90 AV12 5.1 system which should match up together suitably well.

    http://www.hifix.co.uk/graphics/pics/large/107849.jpg

    Lovely looking speakers too, so will fit in nicely, and I can eventually upgrade the fronts to floorstanders from the same series, and use the original ones for the extra 2 in 7.1

    Should get them both in a few days and have 2 weeks off as of next week in order to get them all fitted up.
