Nah mate, still living with my parents unfortunately 
Theres a tidy tv in the living room to watch sky on. This is the spare room my parents gave me so I'm lucky in that sense. I was thinking of getting a slim lcd to put behind there but I realised I wouldn't use it enough, plus I need to save seriously to move out. I use the projector for some light gaming on the pc and watching my blu-rays a few times a week. Nothings beats having my mates over and playing modern warfare 2 though!

I wasn't happy with the center and bought a q acoustics 2000C and plan on replacing the other speakers and sub with speakers from the same range. I also want to replace the amp with something much better, but Ill have to wait
I can thouroughly recommend the Q-Acoustics 2000 pack. Absolutely awesome if you are on a budget. I have them setup at home, im not made of money and these represent superb bang for buck. Thats what I wanted.
Yeah that's what I'm looking at mate
It looks like a cracking sound setup! I'm impressed with the center I've got already. Its clear and defined, far more than the old center I had. Everything sounded slightly muffled on the vocals, but Ive been blown away with the 2000c. I'm looking to complete my setup with some 2020's at the front with 2010's at the back and finally the 2070s sub. I'm thinking of getting an Onkyo 608 amp to finish it all but I'm not 100% sure on which amp to get yet. You got any pics of your speakers mate? They're pretty sexy looking as far as speakers go lol 
I have not really got anything special picture wise. I have a few pics but its not that good quality (my girlfriends camera had a benny trying to take these)

I can get some better pics tomorrow if you like, gives me a chance to play with my camera then. Wont be until the evening though..

Very good, very good indeed. The problem is that I don't have anything similar to compare with. A Lot of people dismiss the Sony in favour of the Onkyo amps, whether its because its Sony or it genuinely sounds worse im not sure.
My whole setup was based around band for buck (Ok so i was lucky getting most of it free). The Sony STRDH800 got great reviews throughout the audio mags. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one providing there was not a noticeable difference for not much more money. I wouldnt spend another £150-200 for something that sounds slightly better. Another £50 then yes.
Im rushing a bit this morning as im off the lovely Bristol. I get some pics up later tonight when im back. If you need anything in particular just give me a shout.

As promised some better pictures of my current setup, plus a picture of where it all started.
My old setup, just before i got the bug.
A few pictures of my current setup then, recent additions include an ipad to control xbmc which runs on my new lian li quad core setup. some great apps out for the ipad now to support us av techs.
thanks
Matt
harmony 525 to control everything else.
new iphone 4 which just helps with a more portable control system.

Very nice setup! Looking at getting that projector myself, just wondering how far away from the screen you have it?
Have about 2.5M to play with myself.
Thanks,

My current setup, still to renovate this room but have had the rewire so got some sockets in the right place! All the kit carried over from last house and of course cant have it how i want so sitting on random furniture (plasma was wall mounted last house) and telly is far too high up
Panny PX80 - bought to replace my old PHD6 to make life easier when we moved, mistake that
Yamaha 2700 amp - old but does a cracking job
Quad 21L - centre, rears are boxed and just sold the sub
Sony BD player, not sure on model just about does the job
Sonos - wired into the yammy, getting a DAC shortly
V+ - hurry up Tivo is all i can say
PS3 & Wii - 360 got relegated to bedroom
