• Onkyo 7.1 Receiver
• 7 Boston Acoustics Speakers - 3 towers up front and 4 monitors mounted on the walls in the sides and rear.
• 4 SVS Cylinder Subwoofers - 1 in each corner of the room.
• PS3 - the original version, used mainly as a Bluray player.
• Rack - $20 from Target, desperately need to upgrade to a proper cabinet but too lazy to rewire everything.

Ignore the small black speakers mounted on the wall, they are not currently used. They were part of the original HTIB system that I started with but nearly everything has been upgraded since then. I might use them later for the front height speakers later when I upgrade the receiver.

SERIOUSLY 4 SVS???? My god that must beat your heart back into working order. I was looking at their ENTRY level subs before I moved into a townhome, and it was loud and deep enough I thought (for now, until I got something bigger, haha)

I've actually had pretty good luck streaming 15gig 1080p files wirelessly with a cisco router. Maybe 2 hiccups in 4 months. They were annoying enough though to just wire it in.

why do ppl with nice flat screen tv seldom hang them on the wall but use the stand?

Because the cleanest solution for hanging a TV on the wall would be to run the wires through the wall. With an ever expanding set of components you'd constantly have to run new wires through the wall or prewire the wall full of cables which will eventually become outdated.

not only that, but people that mount TVs on the wall mount them way too high.... the correct position is still at level viewing height. You start losing clarity/color if you're out of the ideal viewing angle of the tv, and the vertical viewing angle is much more limited than the horizontal.

In addition to my dedicated theater room, I also have a 55" Sony 3DTV that is sitting on a tv stand for the ideal height. 3DTVs are even more susceptible to limited viewing angles for the best 3D experience.

edit: here is a quick pic of my living room setup this morning... currently running 24 hours le mans in GT5

Sony 55" 240hz LED 3DTV
Pioneer VSX-2010
Sony PS3 Slim
Xbox 360 Slim with Kinect
Toshiba HDDVD
Verizon FIOS HD-DVR
JBL S series speakers
The computer tower next to it houses 10tb of videos
