My weekend project...home theater set-up

[Sandman]

This past Friday I spent a whole day unhooking all my electronics and unwiring tons of cords. When it was all said and done I had about 5 cords that I didn't know what they belonged to, 1 old PC mouse that I had forgot about, 1 old PC gaming headset I had also forgot about, 2 old PC keyboards and one very old stand-up PC mic that I think was from the first computer I bought back in '95. There were some other things in there too but well, you can see for yourself in the before pics :

This is what I started out looking at....notice the parts of the Rock Band drum kit in there. 360 and PS3 are just to the left of the pic.

....and this is what lay waiting for me beyond that PC speaker in the first picture....it was a long day.

And this is the finished product...

I relocated my 360 and PS3, they have more room between them now. Big Daddy looks nice guarding that receiver.

and this is the other area that had all the cords tangled up on it before. I took out anything that didn't need to be there and wow, I can actually see some floor I couldn't see before....and probably haven't seen in years. Sure there is still a mess of cables back there that you can't see but it's not near as bad as it was and everything that is there needs to be there.

I am enjoying the new system. Got my PS3 and 360 hooked up to it and it sounds great with blu-ray's hd sound. I just need to figure out how to get my standard coaxial cable hooked into it. Think I may need a converter box for that....not sure.

Dude, show your TV.

He doesn't have to show his tv. He has already won the thread by putting the NIN Blu-Ray on display ;)

It's nothing special....27" Samsung CRT set. It does up to 1080i native.

That case was there to block the very bright light the external hdd behind it has on it. Now I've relocated the external hdd to behind the big speaker.

Fine - however, do you have some sort of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles boardgame? 3rd from the top? That's what the font looks like, at least.

Yes, yes I do. I could not tell you how old it is though....if I had to guess, at least 10 - 15 years old.

edit : after doing some Google searching apparently it's from around 1987 and is worth around $20
