Here's my deal. I don't make a lot of money. I live in freakin West Virginia for Christ sake and there really aren't a lot of jobs in this area. I mean, I do OK for the area, just not great.

Here's my gear:

20" RCA Tru-Flat flatscreen with Surround. Cost about $130 (mom's gift to me for my birthday a couple of years ago)

CyberHome DVD recorder (which I love and get LOTS of use out of) that I got on eBay for about $80. I even use it to transfer my mom's home movies to DVD.

Durabrand DVD player that I got at (well it's exclusive to) Wal-Mart about a month ago for about $30. Works fine though the remote sucks. It's even progressive scan.

I've got a 2.1 Surround Sound Philips/Magnavox 3 CD shelf stereo that I pipe all my cable and DVD's through. Mom got that for me for my birthday a few years ago too, about $120.

I've also got a 2.1 wireless headphone set I got at Radio Shack. It works marginally well, tends to pick up radio stations if I don't tune it just right. Cost about $30.

And on the way I have those CyberHome 5.1 Surround Sound headphones. About $30 with shipping. Which my mom is also getting me for my upcoming birthday.

So.......am I the cheapest Filer or what?

Here's a pic (crappy as it is) of my setup. I have a small apartment, so even if my budget weren't a problem, my actually living space is. Oh, and you can't see my speakers. They are actually hanging from the ceiling spaced out for good sound on my current 2.1.
