Some pics of my all crappy HT.

Sampo DVD player
Onkyo 484 Receiver
PSB Center
PSB Alpha B's for fronts
Crappy Zenith Bookshelf Speakers for rears (temporarily)
Don't mind the cardboard box holding up one of the speakers (cheap speaker stand) nor the messy coffee table...I'm gettin ready to move...
Or the robe hanging up over the window (love bein a Bachelor)

Nice touch with the card-board box for a speaker stand...very homeless of you. J/K
Hey, you got to start somewhere. Good choices on the reciever and speakers. No subwoofer yet? What's that thing in the corner?
I went the other route when I was younger...I had a $10,000 stereo system but I lived in a $200 a month rat hole and lived off of ramen noodles...it's all about priorities.

Wiz. I love the HT. Of course a beanbag chair with cleverly applied duct tape would complete it.

Speaker Stands
I love the system...
I will have to say: If cost is a consideration please use cinder blocks as your speaker stands rather than cardboard boxes and slap on some BluTak on top of the cinder block and the bottom of the speaker... They are cheap and make the most sturdy stands. And by all means make sure at least the L/R (and the center if possible) speakers are at the same height.
Other than those 2 small notes... I think everything looks good! I think my husband got the cinder block/blutak idea from Corey Greenburg from Stereophile... Our home system looks like hell, and definitely needs a makeover.
