*Age 35
*Father of a fun 2 year old and another on the way in November
*Married for 10 years
*Control system design engineer (Crestron programmer)

*Displays in my home:
Sampo 50" plasma w/ 106" Draper Ultimate Access V screen the drops in front of it for movie nights. Panasonic PT-L300U projector does that duty.
42" Samsung Plasma in the master bedroom.
A few RCA tube televisions around for the kids.

*Blu-Ray player, DVD or HDDVD in my home:
No Blu-ray yet, waiting on PS3
I have two main DVD players - A 400 Disc Sony 995 model and an older DVP-NS725P. One for rented movies played locally, the other setup for distribution to multple rooms.

OTHER:
Distributed audio to 10 rooms in my home with the following sources:
XM Radio, FM Tuner, Dual Digital Music Server, TV, DVD/CD
All is Crestron controlled with 12 button keypads in most rooms, a 12" panel in the family room as well as a handheld Crestron remote.
A full sized rack in the basement remotely holds things like the A/V receiver, cable box, house audio sources, amplifiers, etc. A local rack in the family room holds the PS2, DVD player, etc.

I did the entire install and pulled all the wiring pretty much myself. All terminations were done by me, and the house is setup with a bunch of conduit for future expandability.
