Just go my new home theater up and running. Definitely need some wire management done and while I ran Cat 5 for the Xbox, the Vaio doesn't get a good WiFi signal in this part of the house...so might have to run another Cat 5 cable out to the living room.
TV is a Sony KDS50A2020, it's a 50" Rear Projection.
Linkage
Both the Xbox 360 and the Cable box are on the 1st shelf there. That is a Polk Audio CSi3 center channel. For those of you with projections, or know the SXRD, there is no way a center channel can fit on the top of the TV.
CSi3 Linkage
Fronts and rears consist of 4 Polk Audio RTi4s.

Sub is a Polk Audio PSW303

On the component rack, which imcomplete, the receiver is on the top. It is an Onkyo SR502, which has been replaced with the 505. 502 doesn't have HDMI.
The next component down is the Sony Vaio VGX-XL1, the XL1 is a Pentium D with Media Center 2005. The new XL3 has blue-ray, but I havn't decided if I want to go with blue-ray or HD-DVD.
Below the XL1 is the XL1B2 media changer. It is a 200 DVD/CD disc changer that hooks up to the XL1 media center via firewire. The thing I like about it is I can daisy chain up to 5 of them together. I only have 2 now, but could add another 3 if I needed/wanted to.
Lonely XL1B2...he is waiting on the component rack manufacture. I had to order taller legs to fit the changers.
Entire HT Setup
I called it a work in progress becuase I need to get more rack legs so I can add the 2nd changer. THIS has to go, need to get some harmony remote action going. I also want to upgrade the 360 to the Elite. Picture excludes my roommates Nintendo manufactured eye-sore, the Wii.
