    JBL towers in the corners, with a JBL bookshelf 3 way for a center channel

    All outdated junk compared to what most of you technophiles are running, but my neighbors can tell if I'm playing a racing game or watching Blade Runner...

    I think that is the hallmark of a worthy system! If your neighbors know what you are watching, you are doing something right
    I live next to a pool / hotub area. A few weeks ago I was in the water and I swore I was hearing thunder and/or aircraft. When I came back in the house I realized I had left Transformers running......

I live not too far from an NIH facility and since he was from a litter from some stray around that way, it makes ya wonder.

    Oh, his bones are about 2X thicker than a normal Tabby and he weighs, get this, 26lbs. And funny enough, the vet says he isnt overweight because of his size and bone mass. Pretty crazy for a 10 year old cat who is still as energetic as a 1 year old kitten.

    Ok, back to the topic....

    Gary, how can your drink those green bottles of urine?!?!?!?

    Anyway, nice systems guys. Once I get my room totally set, I'll post a photo.

    James, your audio system is totally sick. It kinda ruined mine for me.

    Maybe next summer I will drop a nice bank roll on a new audio system.

    Gary, you need to upload some YouTube video of this cat in action.

    Heh, ya, that stuff is crap. Sadly, the girl I was dating then brought it all over to drink while she "watched" me unpacking and setting stuff up. If I recall correctly, I was drinking Bailey's on the rocks that evening. I was wimping it out in a whole other fashion, heh.

    Sadly, the cat (Takhisis) lives with my mom now. I was tired of patching up my dog's face from T's tantrums. She did tell me a story about him this passed winter though. She had a fox that was frequenting her backyard and laying on her pool cover daily. T took off out the back door one day and attacked the poor fox. My sister has a couple pics of it and even though it's sad, it's hilarious to see just how much larger than the fox he is, heh. I will see if she can email me the pics.

    On the subject of stereo goods, has there been any recent news of the organic tvs (OLD or whatever it is)? I have been out of the next gen tech for tvs for a while now but heard about them some time back. Just curious where we stand for the "next big thing".

    3D HDTV? Hmm that is going to be sweet! Anyways, I bet you are really pleased about the HD DVD add on for the 360..... When are you going to upgrade the PS2 to a PS3?

    As far as me I've got 42" HD Plasma, Yamaha Digital receiver (7.1 DTS), Yamaha Fronts with 12" side firing subs in each, Yamaha center, Sony tower speakers as surrounds with 2x8 subs in each, and a random rear center channel, PlayStation3 handles the BluRays beautifully through HDMI of course. And yeah MGS4 is amazing MUCH better than GTA4, beat both of them in a week or so, and I like Grid better than GT5 Prologue.

    Onkyo! Nice, I’ve always liked that brand.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    John, that is impressive!
    Some esoteric equipment there! How many VX's do you have tied up in that?
    Best,
