Very nice screen you got there ^^^ :-), I got the D6000 and couldn't be more happier :-). I couldn't personally justify almost double an increase in price for a few extra 'smart' features, a few more inputs / outputs and local dimming.
My Current Setup:
- ASUS Xonar Essence STX, with Uni Xonar drivers, using XMPlay with ASIO output @ bit depth and sample frequency of source material on Windows 7 Professional, upsampling when EQ'ing is used (using 2x LT1364CN8 for the I/V stage and 1x Burr-Brown OPA1612 for the buffer stage)
- Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (250 Ohm) Headphones
- QED Performance Interconnects (3.0m Stereo Parallel Male to Male RCA Interconnects from sound card and phono preamp to amplifier)
- QED Original Speaker Wire (2.0m lengths going to speakers and high level inputs of subwoofer from respective 'A' and 'B' speaker outputs of amplifier)
- Cambridge Audio Azur 740A Integrated Stereo Amplifier (150W RMS/ch @ 4 Ohms, 100W RMS/ch @ 8 Ohms, all channels driven)
- Technics SL-1700 Turntable
- Shure M97xE Turntable Cartridge and Shure N97xE Turntable Stylus
- Pro-Ject Phono Box MkII Phono Preamplifier
- PSB SubSonic 5i Subwoofer (150W RMS Continuous, 225W Dynamic, 450W Dynamic Peak, 10" Driver)
- DALI Ikon 6 MK2 main speakers (http://dali-speakers.com/display_con....html/322/2559)
- Speaker isolation via speaker feet
- Amplifier and subwoofer connected to a Clipsal "Orange Box" portable RCD power outlet
great setup guys

We recently bought another house and will be moving in at the end of next month. I'm converting the detached garage into a man cave and the garage has a roofed patio area off it that I am gonna use to place a pool table in.

In progress.. triple rackmount HTPC setup. Just have to order some SSD's and fans. 3D Blu-ray + MadVR Rendering capable rigs. They will all pull content from my 12TB+ WHS and networked CableCARD tuners. The HDTV's in various rooms will just have an HDMI cable ran with a USB IR receiver where a Harmony remote will control each one. Total cost so far is ~$750.. picked up some good sales. ^_^
Wire management still needs *slight* cleanup.. but it's about one of the cleanest installs I've done. ^_^

I ordered some blue LED fans.. they should be here soon. Then I just have to sleeve and build the other two HTPC's. SSD's will come when I find a good sale on some 60GB/120GB drives. I will take pictures as I put everything together. Right now I'm pretty busy with work and finding a house that will fit my current home theater the way I want it. The idea is to find a big enough basement so I can put in a theater, wet bar, and a cigar room with air filtration.
Finally some actual pictures (there be it bad phone-quality ones) of my main living area + some of my gear -

Fans installed. Three 60GB Corsair Force 3 6GB/s SSD's on order. Did a test boot of the system and it runs surprisingly quiet and hovers around 35C - 40C.Originally Posted by Nanometer
