I know this has been done a thousand times, but I really think GS should sticky it so that we can all see what ppls setups look like. We can all keep it fun without people boasting that they have the best. Anyways I hope GS takes sticking it into consideration. So here's mine.

Hide that wire TC, otherwise it's pretty simple and clean. Also it would be nice if everyone listed their specs like in the PC forum :)

Hey, the speaker wire for the front speakers I just ran through the wall. The back speakers I could not do this because the house is old and the studs run left to right instead of up and down because they are attacked to a concrete wall. So with the backs I run it under the trim all the way to the speakers than have the wire going from there into panduit up to the speakers. All my other wiring I used black tubing you can pickup at Radio Shack.

Looks to me like you ran the wire behind the wall because it looks like you painted over some patches on the wall. :P

or you ran tape wire and just painted over it.

Lol, yea I have not got around to painting the room yet. But the patch job was not from the wiring, those holes are behind the speakers. What you see is 1. Where we had a shelf hanging holding the center speaker and 2. the other job was where we had a wall anchor holding a older Onkyo speaker. I am going to go with a much darker color when I repaint though to try and get more of a theatre feel.

Well here it is. Nothing too big, just trying to keep it simple. 8) (BTW I think it would be great if we could sticky this)

It's a 32" Samsung LNT3253, a 26" is a good size if you have a small room setting to play games in, but if you have an average size room a 32" samsung is perfect for gaming and watching TV. If the 26" is all you are able to get, it may seem like it may be small, but it's actually a very good sized TV, and with the awesome picture quality, you'll forget all about the size when you start using it.

Wow that looks sweet. I've been wanting to buy a PS3 for the longest time and now that I have the money I want to wait for the MGS4 bundle with the dualshock 3 controller. Samsung Rocks!!!
