I know I'm not alone on this front because this is definitely a guy thing!!! But... I was playing a little Black Ops online the other night and got to thinking about Greg's set-up and that lead me to another buddy's set-up, and then to wonder what other tech guru's there were on TOO. (Greg is the tech master and he has a sweet as set-up TOO!) I remember when I was about 9 years old, my dad got a bonus from work for the first time in years and we went to Rex Electronics. He bought a sweet set of Cerwin-Vega house speakers with amp and 6-disc changer that night and I remember how cool I thought that was even then! He still has that head unit and I have the speakers in my basement. He's since upgraded to a Bose surround for his office and the living room, both of which will rattle your teeth! Growing up around that type of stuff obviously instilled a love for great sound and picture in me. With that being said, let's see your man-tronic set-ups TOO!!!

The boring part of our gig is the 32" Samsung LCD in the bedroom that is linked to the HD/DVR Dish box in the living room. Unlike some, the real action happens in the living room at my house!!!ickle:
I waited over two years before pulling the trigger on a flat screen TV after they hit the market and I did so right at the LED switch over. While I'm a little disappointed I don't have an LED (yet), I love our TV and really have no regrets in going with the LCD model. We picked up the Samsung 630 series 55" 1080p LCD with 4 HDMI outs and Samsung apps we don't use at Sears earlier this year. We have the Dish Top 200 with HD and DVR in two rooms. (Also have a standard box that runs the TV in the man room downstairs and our spare bedroom.) We had a hell of a time finding a stand we liked until we went to the local furniture store one night and looked at their customizable units made by Ashley. It was painful to pay twice what I originally wanted to spend on a TV stand, but we ended up with a piece of furniture that will last our lifetime, so it’s hard to complain. (And in retrospect, it was actually a really good buy considering how much even Wal-Mart wants for their units.)
I recently pulled the trigger on the two pieces that make the TV work the hardest! I found a killer deal on a Samsung 7.1 Channel Blu-ray Home Theater System with built in Wi-Fi and wireless rear speakers. Unfortunately, I only have 6 of the 8 speakers hooked up at this time because the mid-range speakers require more work than I think it necessary given how good the unit sounds without them! I use the iPod dock all the time when doing dishes or cooking, and the streaming of Netflix is pretty sweet TOO! (It would be a hell of a lot better if they actually had good movies available however!) Last week, I added the last piece to the puzzle with an Xbox 360 with Kinect. I’ve never been much of a gamer, but I do enjoy getting lost in a game of Black Ops and the Kinect Games are a blast when you’re hammered at 2AM!!!
As a child, I dreamed of having a sweet movie watching set-up and after years of dreaming, I finally put together and entertainment center I can be proud of! We love to watch movies and this set-up has made it so going out for a movie and dinner is becoming less and less of a routine. We’ve stayed in and made dinner before watching 2-3 movies more in the past two months than we probably had in the 2 years prior! Great way to save money!!! rotflmao
