[*] Anything else you want to say. – Here are a few of my figurines I have looking after my Macs and data ^^
These are the main external storage units sitting on top of my 8-core Mac Pro and custom built Linux server.
Sei from 'Bakuretsu Tenshi' is standing on top of my Airport Extreme 802.11n Basestation. Purched on top of the Mac Pro is Kanu Unchou from Ikkitousen and Igunis.
Mizuki Takase is featured in the background as well as Ryu and Crimson Viper from Street Fighter IV (XBOX360 Limited Edition pack).
Macs featured: Mac Pro with Dual Quad-core Xeon's running at 2.8 GHz, 23" Cinema HD and Apple's latest Unibody 13.3" MacBook Pro.
Towards the rear end of the room is my Home Theatre setup. You can find a detailed project log of this installation on my blog.
The Plasma is connected as the second display to my Mac Pro; both VLC and Quicktime (with Perian) automatically full-screen onto it! Any h.264 downloads with AC3 encoding take advantage of the 5.1 setup, which is nice.
very nice setup. i am planning on building up my home theatre setup soon too~ you don't have any rear speakers at the moment right?
I do, they are not visible in the above snap of course. Two DM602 S3s wired directly up to the amp as they are 120W each. You can see one of them in this 'older' album,

I forgot to mention, my setup is 7.1 capable (and I have a pair of 601 S3s at a friends place in B'ham, UK) and that I intend to shift it out of this room someday - into a larger, dedicated Home Theatre room. Give me a shout if you have any questions when planning your build :)
Your figures are quite busty. ^^;
*boing* ^^
