Pretty simple, post your equipment (home theater brag thread) :D

I'm really starting to get into all this home theater stuff, I'm still pretty new but I find myself browsing HT forums and reading reviews etc. pretty regularly now. I've finally completed a full 7.1 set-up and now I wanna make it all look pretty so I'm hoping for some pictures to give me some ideas!

Here is my super low budget set-up (nothing special)

42" Panasonic G20 plasma
Denon 887 reciever running 7.1 analog out to my Pioneer BDP-51FD Blu-ray player
Klipsch Quintet 3's with 2 Quintett SL speakers in rear back
Klipsch Synergy 10" Sub
Xbox 360, Wii
Low end monster power center

Everything running fairly high end Monster cables.. HDMI and etc (I kno... but i got a good deal on them)

So post away! I want to see who else shares my new found passion. Post pics too if you can!

Discussion definitely encouraged as well If there's any good websites or magazines you'd recommend let me know!

My HT is my laptop lol, so you've all got me. At least I have respectable AKG K601 headphones.

Granted, I'm pretty sure that cables and interconnects don't make a difference in terms of audio/visual quality unless there are some serious defects like corrosion in the lines. If it plugs in and isn't going to fall apart on you, it's 100% good enough. No need to overspend in this department. (Of course, if you have evidence to the contrary, I'm interested in seeing it!)

edit: that came out a little more confrontational than I intended. I'm just wondering what people's knowledge and thoughts on the matter are.

Lol @ people who buy Monster Cables.

...But like a few others before me, my home theater consists mainly of my laptop (17") along with a 5.1 logitech speaker system.

Depends how long the cable is and if you're running analog or digital to determine weather your perchance is just extravagant or just throwing money away.

I only bought Monster because I had a staff discount on them. Maybe there's no difference for like signal quality but they are definitely the most durable cables and I'm constantly moving stuff around and unplugging/plugging things in so I figured it'd be worth it

Downstairs (my dad) has a Klipsch 5.1 (i'll check the models later) with a nice 1000w(so he says, again i'll double check) 12inch klipsch sub with a sony receiver (he really should upgrade this, NEEDS MORE POWER) with a 52inch sony bravia LCD.
Also in the basement he has some old school Polk Monitors (from 1970) with a yamaha receiver/amp. They sound fucking awesome, wish i could hook my mp3 up to them.

I've got a 32 inch toshiba lcd with really old altec lansing 2.1 computer speakers that i hook up to my laptop/ps3

I'm in search of budget speaker set up! (sub 200$) Dont really know where to start other than woot and newegg often have pretty good deals on polk speakers.
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?
