And a closer look.

From left to right :
- Internet provider box (with DVB-T tuner and Bluray disc)
- Audio/Video receiver
- Nintendo Wii (hide in the drawer)
- HTPC under A/V receiver

This 2 pics were taken in WAF mode Big Grin

Now, in Cinema mode :

Image

Unfortunalty, no more central speaker (low WAF).

Rear speakers are in wall speakers :

Image

The half-wall behind TV is home-made and have multiple purposes :
- hide wires (ethernet, speakers, antenna, ...)
- hide network switch and surge protect device)
- hide LED light when watching movies

Sorry for my english, but, you know, I'm French so ...

Main HTPC : Odroid-C2 running CoreELEC with Titan Bingie
Secondary HTPC : Freebox Mini 4K running Android TV with Titan Bingie
Loving the idea of the wall Mikebzh44! I always like setups where you can't see any of the cabling and this is a good way of hiding it.
Set Up
Raspberry Pi running Raspbmc - XBMC 12.2
40" Samsung ES6800 LED Smart 3D 1080P TV
Onkyo HTS3405 5.1 DD True HD and DTS-HD Surround Sound
ReadyNAS Duo with 4TB (2 x 2TB X-RAID) Western Digital Caviar Green using NFS
I have been a long time lurker of these forums but have been using XBMC for about 2 years now. My sound set up compromises of Quad 11l2's at the front, a Quad L2 centre speaker and a pair of Quad lites at the rear. The sub is a BK XLS200 MK2, and the amp a Sony es 2400. The projector I use is an Optoma HD200X.

In the AV cabinet I have a HTPC with XBMC for film playback, a PS3, and in my bedroom a couple of HP microserver's with 10TB of storage each. In all 20TB of storage. I also have a Harmony One for control of everything.

Not exactly an extensive setup, but a nice compact one for a one bedroom flat (apartment to all you US folks)...

Image

The hardware was moved from an older Aspire HTPC case I had into the Zalman HD-503 seen in this photo (bottom). The amp is an older Pioneer VSX-1014 which someone sold to me for £150, which isn't bad considering it was over £1000 new. The larger speakers are Pioneer CS-7070's which i've had for about 10 years. The Smaller speakers are Tannoy Mercury F1 Customs and a matching centre-speaker. No Subwoofer as I live on the 2nd floor, and don't want to annoy my neighbours. Besides, the CS-7070's pack a fair amount of bass on their own. Not setup in a "surround" configuration as far as positioning, because this flat is only rented, and I can't go drilling holes in the walls to hide cables, etc.

All my media is housed on a ReadyNAS Ultra 4, which has 4x Samsung F4EG HDD's in it, working out to about 5.4TB of storage. The NAS runs Sickbeard, CouchPotato, HeadPhones and SABnzbd+. Also have a MySQL database on the NAS for multi-room setup in the future. The HTPC runs W7-64bit, and is based on an old AthlonX2 4850e dual-core with a Sapphire Radeon 4600 for graphics. 4GB memory in total.

Other kit in the rack is a Panasonic EX95-VEBS Digibox / DVR / DVD player which I've used for transferring my old VHS tapes to DVD as well as watching TV (Had it region-unlocked prior to purchase). The Television is a 26" 2008 series Samsung LCD. I'm more a music person than a video person, so the small TV is plenty big enough for me.

The TV stand was a modular effort made of 6mm smoked / toughened glass panels. With the four tiers I had to buy to assemble it as seen here cost me £400.

Looks nice except for the black cord dangling from the projector. You could fish that through the wall or put a white wire mold over it.

What do you do during daylight hours about the light through the windows? I've got blackout drapes here and they work wonders (and since I'm in a bilevel, it also helps with heating/cooling by having them across the doorways when I'm using the room (room can be made pitch black during the day).

Yeah its a fixed projector screen made by Beamax. The advantage of a fixed screen is it is completely flat with no curling appearing by the edges. My old role up screen was terrible for it, and I ditched it for this reason. I have a TV in the living room, and only my projector is in this room. So no need for a screen that pulls up to make room for a TV.

The role up blinds you see are black out blinds, but I found that some light still leaked around the edges and could sometimes drown out the image. So I bought some blackout curtain lining from ebay and made it the size of the window frames. I then added velcro strips to both the blackout lining and the window frames, and also some window suction cups to the corners of the fabric. This creates a curtain that bonds straight over the window and allows no light through the window. The photos you see previously was taken in the day and as you can see, no light can leak through. If you wish I can post images on how I made them.
Yeah, manual roll-up screens typically create some distortion, especially noticeable during pans, but electric screens are typically tensioned and do not have that problem and have the advantage of a good WAF (wife acceptance factor) and/or in my case, let me use the window that is behind the screen during the day if I want the room naturally lit.
