Looks great! Good cable management.

Some constructive remarks:

- Perhaps you could space the fronts evenly from the center to improve imaging;
- Move the sat box away from the top of the receiver (perhaps put it next to your BD player) to prevent heat damage to your electronic components;
- Get a new camera :P) so that we can appreciate your pictures more.

I also see RCA (red, white and yellow) analog cables going to your TV, I don't know for which source you are using those, but if you can, use HDMI or component (or at least s-video :P).

thanks!!



the RCA are going to my old camcorder, S video wont be that great of an improvement (already tried) i need to get an HD one.

the fronts do need to be evened out lol i should get on that now.

i think the DTV box will make it look weird if its next to the BD player wouldnt you agree?

and the pics were taken from my LG Dare cell phone, its 3.2 MP. I have a camera i just wanted it done fast

Good! Just as long it's not the BD player

It might not look as good but it would be better for your components.

You could check as a first step if your receiver and sat box get hot or not after a couple of viewing sessions. If they stay relatively cold, then it's not that bad and you can probably leave them like that for the moment.

You could also check if you could organize your components differently, perhaps something like this if it fits:
First shelf: the BD player with the sat box on top next to the APC H15;
Second shelf: the receiver next to the XBox (be careful on how they are oriented relatively to their respective vents);
Third shelf: Your center speaker.

Hope this helps!
