Took some quick pictures of my system in it's "natural environment"... one of the TV in action to follow shortly...

Here is a picture of the front (duh...) taken from the doorway.

Here is a picture of one of my side speakers... bipolar towers so the sound comes out the front and the back (firing towards the back and front of the room, or left and right in this picture)

Here is a closer view of my SV Subwoofers in the front right corner... they are pretty dark so they don't photograph well

My equipment rack is located in a closet in the rear of the room... to do this summer is put a fan in the ceiling so it doesn't heat up in there! Top to bottom... Receiver,HTPC,DVD player,Sub electronics

Here is a closeup of the Subwoofer electronics... from top to bottom, dual 31 band EQ, compressor, and amp!

Here is a desktop shot from my HTPC... of course with overscan I don't see most of the edges (or the task bar) but that's the way that I like it! (who really wants to see windows on their TV?)

Not part of my main system, but here is the downstairs system... Marantz Receiever, Sony 5 disc carousel CD player, JVC Dish network Satelite receiver. Dreamcast, Nintendo 64 and Super nintendo.
