Can you take me through all your AV equipment in that tall cabinet?

Just curious, what it all does :D

From top to bottom:

1 - Thorens TD 160B turntable for vinyl playback and transfer
2 - Humax HDR-FOX T2 PVR
3 - Panasonic BDT120 Bluray player
4 - Cambridge Audio DVD player - Technically redundant due to bluray player but it's got a quieter transport whilst playing dvd's
5 - Marantz CD-56 cd player - also "technically redundant" but it's an old philips TDA1541 dac based player that uses a CDM-2 transport. I've modified it slightly from spec too. Again, quieter than both the video players at playing cd's.
6 - Philips CD930 cd player - again "technically redundant" but I like it, uses a newer bitstream dac and a CDM-9 transport. (last of the swing arm mechs) Modified this one similarly to the marantz
7 - Luxman L-220 stereo amp - Drives my front speakers. Fully restored and slightly modified
8 - Marantz SR4200 surround amp - Drives rear speakers and serves as a surround processor/preamp for the luxman when i use digital sources
 
Very neat. However I will never 'get' those massive mouse / keyboard pads. Get a nice piece of wood (or laminate in this case?) and cover it up with a large piece of black plastic? Seems weird.

Hows your air flow mate, that Parvum looks totally restricted crammed in there, I've got the same type of stand and was thinking of using my spare Z77 kit for a basic rig just for browsing

The temps seem fine.

i have a 140mm pulling air in the front and 2 x 80mm pulling in the rear. i then have 2 x 140mm blowing out through a H100 rad at the top.

i have my cpu (haswell) oc'd to 4.2ghz and it seems absolutely happy sat in there, its warm which is to be expected but nothing usually high

i dont bother running stupid cpu intensive stuff to test as the hardest thing my computer does is play games.
