Here is my living room setup. My new additions since the last setup is a new AV receiver, sideboard cabinet, and Harmony 1100 Remote (touchscreen). I will be replacing the TV later this year.
Denon AVR-891, Cable Box, Wii, 360, Apple TV and PS3. All hooked up using RF to IR repeaters for Harmony remote controller so I can leave the entertainment stand closed the entire time (thus why the cables aren't clean / organized behind as you can't see them ever):
Just as I often get the questions in PMs. Both the coffee table and entertainment stand are discontinued (at least in Canada and US, possibly not in Europe) Ikea furniture. The entertainment stand is called Friel.
Tabris, stop showing off.

The phat PS3 just throws me off.
Agreed, looks dated and pretty fugly these days.

My fat PS3 died. It sounded like a fatass, too. That fan was wheezing like you wouldn't believe. Fuckin' fatass piece of shit. Probably took up two seats on an airplane, but only paid for one. It died like a week ago, and I'm fucking glad. My new, skinny PS3 is quiet. I'm thinking about throwing my US 360 out a window so I can justify getting a new one of those, too... except the "slim" 360 is still fat as fuck. These game systems need to stop eating at Hardees.

The fat PS3 is one of the least aesthetically appealing consoles to me.
So, this is my setup. 40" LED Samsung, with a PS3, 360, and Wii. Wii is behind the TV. 3DS is on the TV stand too, but it's all black so it blends in. Bose Lifestyle 35. Does well enough for my modest apartment. I also really like maps.
Yeah, it's a bit dusty. Eh.
Other angle.

Do you have any pictures of the projector picture in the dark? So I can get a sense for the picture it produces. I am thinking of buying that same model.

You should remove the protective film of your receiver

listen to the mad man
The maps are great, but you might find you like them visually more if you took down half of them, spread the others around your apartment, and framed them all. Framing doesn't cost much and makes a big difference aesthetically.
Something as simple as the frames Tabris is using on his would be fine; a nice black frame with a nice white mat.

I'm sure it sounds amazing
I love the projector, and the price is good also
It works well in the day, but it's in the dark it completly shines I only have this picures, and they are not in complete dark.
He loves ir too
I just saw those tiles and I guessed without looking who was posting where you are from dyonPT
Congrats on the new 360 btw!
RLY? how?
From other pictures from here or other forum?And yeah...I hate those Fukin** tiles...

Good Idea
I personally really like the look of the phat ps3 and the reason I have it in the middle is the black + chrome accent matches my tv and speakers. Gotta consider things like that when placing / buying your gear.
Latest pics. All components are in the credenza.
The system will go through a revamp and overhaul soon. Upgrading speakers, amplifier, and turntable. 2011 was a good year for me, so I will enjoy the fruits of my labor in 2012.
Where did you get that audio equipment rack/tower that is holding your receiver, turntable and amp(?) if you don't mind me asking? Seems like the perfect size when compared to the equipment racks i have seen.
Really nice setup man!
EDIT: NVM
HD800 fuuuuuuuu..
Those speakers B&W? The midrange drivers look a lot like my dad's 800 Diamonds.
In case anyone else is wondering, it's the Solid Tech Rack of Silence Reference Model 3.
Not that many dealers in the US, but Audio Advisor has them.

Yes, they are B&W CM9 speakers. I will be upgrading to the B&W 800 series, or Sonus Faber.
No Chittagong yet?

He's been building his gaming setup for last 2 years since moving I think. I dunno why he just doesn't post progress pictures so we know what he's looking on creating.

Sorry guys, long story short - new flat, overly ambitious refurb, shit project manager => budget crisis
So the job has been dragging but is now complete except for splashback which I can get in a week or two. And bar stools in 6 weeks, but I won't wait for them. After the splasback I'll grab a tripod and take new pics.
I'm super happy with where I got, but damn it was a pain.

Why the long case?
I have been meaning to ask you,
can you elaborate on the process of storing ripped dvds/video content and having everything streamed via wifi throughout the house? You said in 2009 that you did it but I am just wondering how.

Sure, I have an Iomega 4TB drive, the one with an aluminum body, hooked up to my MacBook Pro that serves content via iTunes and Eyeconnect. DVDs ripped as ISO files for all movies and additional iTunes mov for the best ones. Currently can only watch iTunes stuff via Apple TV 2 and AVIs on PS3 via Eyeconnect from my Mac Book Pro. Haven't figured out yet the best way to watch the DVD ISOs on my TV - how to sharee them and what device to use to watch them.

Hey, I ain't hating, it's a beautiful setup, but I totally disagree with you thinking it matches. It sticks out like a sore thumb for me, especially the chrome. If you had a slick, sexy, slim there though..mm..yes..yes.. Also I have an all black setup as well but my Lightning PS3 is always the first thing people notice and comment on. Having a sleek, white, decorated machine in the middle of all that black is like a shining beam of light..or so I like to believe considering my system is surrounded by multi-colored baby mats.
Well post your setup so people can see if you're right or not.

Alright.
We are trying to eliminate need for cable service all together. My family has many dvd's and it would be nice to not have physical media anymore as well (hence my interest in the question.) Apparently Hulu + does not have new episodes of "The Walking Dead" or "Dexter" so this might be a no go. I am looking into whether or not those shows can be purchased/rented on the Apple TV.

I posted earlier in the thread that since my setup hasn't changed much in the past few years, only the place I live, that there wasn't much point reposting the same thing from previous threads. Also I'm not worried, I know I'm right, about my setup that is. My opinion on your's (specifically the phat) is just that, an opinion. As long as you think it fits, then it's perfect the way it is.
edit: Actually, here, a quick shot of the baby proof setup:
There's a Denon amp and a surround speaker setup in the back but it's too messy to take a picture of.

Jesus, that turntable alone looks like it's worth more than my whole entertainment system.
Yeah, this is just a case of different tastes as none of that matches to me. The PS3 looks out of place to me. The normal slim version would look better there in my opinion.

Whats with the TV stickers?
This looks dangerous. Receivers generate a ton of heat and need ventilation.
