My HT (1 Viewer)

Well, let me start out by tellin' you my setup:
-Pioneer D509s Reciever
-Klipsch Quintet (x4) sats
-Klipsch KSC-C1 center
-SVS 25-31pci (which is not picture here because I will be recieving it tomorrow!)
-27" GE T.V. (older, but still very nice, has s-video which is a plus!)
-all in a 12x12 room (9x12 when you include the closet)
Ok, lets start by what you see when you first walk in (sorta, and sorry for the crappy pics)

So after walking in the door way, you turn to your right a tad and heres what you see:

If ya look in the closet you can see my monitor. In the above pics, my actual PC is next to my entertainment center. I have s-video running out from my computer to my T.V. so I can watch DVD's and other misc movies I download. I also have a hoard of MP3's and I use my live! drive to access them from my couch like a big jute-box

Speaking of couch, here is a horrible picture of it with my camera bag in the way

And last, but not least, the lonely corner where my SVS will go when I recieve it from UPS tomorrow (the 18th!)

My PC:
Lian Li PC68 (case)
EPoX 8K7A+ (motherboard)
256mb PC2400 DDR RAM
Athlon 1600+ w/SK6 heatsink
AIW Radeon 32meg DDR
SBLive! 5.1 Platinum

Pioneer 105s (16x DVD - 40x CDROM)
HP 9300i Burner (10x4x32)

thats the most of it. I've modded my case slightly, but have spent so much money on HT I've kinda forgot about it, hah.

Nice system Nate. How quiet is your computer? I'm building one soon and one omy major concerns is the dreaded PC noise that's possible. Do you hear your computer during silent moments while watching movies?

Thanks for the comments guys
About the PC. Yeah, I can hear it during quiet parts, but keep in mind I
have about 5 fans in there. Two in the front, one for exaust, one on the
CPU and one in the power supply. More than I need really. I always get
the idea I'm going to overclock, but never do.
It is possible to build a pretty quiet PC. Get a power supply that varies
the fan speed depening on how hot it gets and get a quiet fan for the CPU
and thats all you need really. As long as you don't experience any lockups
from heat, you should be good to go and not have much noise at all.
Good luck on the HTPC
