Figured after 23 hours of install time (AP and myself) and setup I'd post some pictures of the new gaming/theater rig.

Also look forward to see what everyone else is gaming on these days.

I was out with AP last night and he said he told a few of the regulars (Dakar, Fatty) about the setup so I figured I'd post up some pictures. After moving I was without xbox until this rig was finally finished but now...

Before



The "goods"

BenQ W1070 DLP 3D Projector
Elite Screens - Aluminum framed 92" Fixed Screen
Yamaha RX-V673 Receiver
Monoprice 5.1 Surround


After

In ceiling outlet/HDMI wired in wall to receiver



Receiver Set Up - Xbox / Yamaha



Screen Build



Overall


*Speaker wire to be hidden

Set up includes Xbox for Netflix / HBO Go / Amazon Instant, Time Warner Cable App for xbox will allow full HD TV (end of summer according to TW)

It's a great idea. You're not getting any images of my setup in its current state, though. Nowhere near presentable.

I edited the thread title to make it obvious that it's an image thread - useful for anyone browsing on a 3G connection.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

Is 3G the new 56K?

In the same spot my current hub xbox 360 is. 360 is the sole media provider in the room.
