So you spend hours browsing and downloading from BT or emule or what have you for high quality material so that ultimately you'll be able to sit down and relax with a cool flick or a nice album. The question is what equipment are you using to give life to that HD movie or that lossless album you've just grabbed?

Here's my modest "baby":

HTPC (with HD Tuner + DVD + 250GB drive) networked to a PC with another 300GB of space. Need another hard disk soon!
Panasonic 50" Plasma (HD but not full HD :()
Yamaha RXV-2700 receiver
NHT 2.9 Fronts
NHT Audiocenter 1
NHT Supertwo Surrounds
NHT Superzero XU Surround Rears
Yamaha YST-SW500 subwoofer

I still need a few more additions such as XBOX360 with HD_DVD addon or even a standalone HD-DVD player. But I'm absolutely broke at the moment so I don't think it's going to eventuate anytime soon. Nevertheless, I am still very happy with the setup and I just love those NHT speakers.

So what's yours?

Crabgirl bought me a video mp3player last week, 2gb big with a 1" screen. I just convert movies to that and watch them in full 96x128 glory. From across the room. Whilst reading a book. In the dark.

:lol: stop it now.

The chap used the word "eventuate" and is obviously an intellectualist.

Albeit with a highly sophisticated wankpit.

Sounds like a marginally better screen set-up to me. :ermm:

Okaaay. I thought it was all friendly here.

It's quite a decent topic for a noob to increase his post count no?

Just post in the counting thread for your post count, they can't say it's needless spamming to get your 20 posts if the mod of the Bittorrent section posts in there all the time.

OT: My set-up is my PC, 20" monitor with 7.1 speakers though I tend to watch stuff on my gf's set-up which is a PC, 19" monitor and crappy speakers.

An anti-virus forum? I bet that's a barrel of laughs.

Ohh I thought you'd only need 10 posts :(

All I want is to trade a TL for maybe an Oink invite. That's not too much to ask is it? :D
