Thought I might just throw my situation out there to see if I can get any ideas. I just recently graduated from college and all I have had the past 6 months is a PS3 and a 32 inch Sharp. Well my company is moving me to Boston this week coming up and when I get to my destination I'm looking to start my own little HT. I sold the 32 inch last night, so basically I'll be starting with only a PS3.

So how about some ideas? The only thing I have in mind right now is a Sony Bravia W-Series KDL-52W4100 for the TV.

What do you guys think? Not looking to break the bank here, just trying to get started. Thanks:

TV: Sony Bravia W-Series KDL-52W4100
TV Stand:
Blu Ray: PS3
Receiver:
Speakers:

Three things that help:

- Your real budget
- How big a space you're putting it in
- How far away your neighbors are (we're talking lots of noise)

Budget is the key. There are lots of folks here who've made recent purchases, they can let you know where the best deals are on just about anything.
