I thought it would be cool to post up our systems since we all seem to have good taste when it comes to cars and TV's.
Post up what you have!
My system consists of:
PS3 80gig
Xbox 360 60 gig
Antique Sound Lab AQ1003DT EL34 Tube amp
Mullard EL34 Tubes
Panasonic 42in 1080p plasma
Vandersteen 2ce Sig speakers
I have the speakers positioned to created a phantom center channel and spaced out from the walls so the tandem woofers really make a huge impact.
Ive been through lots of systems and for right now, this system is incredible. I will be adding a center channel and some rears soon but I also want to upgrade to the new Rotel Surround Receivers first.
Here are some pics I have

There are a few options but the only one I can do is a wire strip conceal. I put too many holes trying to find real studs in the wall. My stud finder picked up everything but studs.
This building sucks.

Also, I've setup my sub behind my sectional couch along with the surround speakers.

You can get those wire holder/concealers from home depot. I;ve used them for my surround and ethernet and VGA cable connected to my TV. It works great, and you notice a thing once you paint it to match the wall color.

Hello everyone. I miss you guys. I can't wait for the first meet around here...
Nice setups so far...I used that wire concealer and painted them black. It came out fantastic.
Once again I will contribute non-e60 stuff to the forum. I just put the finishing touches on my Man Town in the basement. This is one of the reasons as to why I have been busy (sitting on my couch)
Here is what I have going on here.
My new Panasonic 58" PZ800U Plasma! This plasma is rated the best unless you want to shell out $6K on a Pioneer Elite. I could almost buy 2 Panasonics for that price. The picture quality is ridiculous! I have 2 LCD's and they look like crap after watching this new display. I built the entire set up into the wall and painted everything black as you can see. This picture does not accurately represent how awesome this looks in person. I tried many shots but couldn't get anything to look good. I have my PS3, Wii, Onkyo SR606 7.1 HDMI receiver, 7 Polk speakers and sub in there also. I will be adding more soon. It's almost like modding. It's a twisted obsession at this point!

My Ride: 2004 545i, Sport and Premium package, Titanium Silver with Black Dakota Leather interior
Samsung 50" DLP
Denon AVR-2800 receiver (old, want a new Yamaha but times are hard)
Klipsch KSF 10.5 tower speakers
Velodyne DLS-R 12'' powered sub (this hits hard!)
Sorry no pics. Don't play video games so no game box. Used to own Onkyo receiver in the past and liked it.
