Ascend 340's for the fronts, 170's surrounds.
Toshiba HD-DVD Player (expensive upscaling DVD player now)
Xbox 360
Z-Line Stand

As you can see I still need to get the TV... looking at getting the Samsung PN50B650 (had a Samsung HPT5054 50" before). Also, any tips for making all the wiring neat? Zip ties?

Also down the road will need a Blu-ray player/PS3 and a sub. It's an apartment so I'm debating even getting a sub.

looks nice...which stand is that? i've been looking for one that can accommodate a center channel speaker...

for wiring, go get those flexible wire channels. its like a tube of plastic with a split down the length, you can stick cables in there and make them "exit" to connect to devices. then zip tie the whole thing up and stick it along an edge of your tv stand.

I had the same problem trying to find a stand that fit my center channel. Came across a deal on this one and after checking the dimensions I grabbed it. It's the Vitoria 55" Wide Stand. Here's their site: http://www.z-linedesigns.com/

I got it from Dell for $120, it's usually around $200. Really nice stand for the price.
