Finally got around to taking pics of my humble little HT...
The Hardware:
Kenwood HTB-405 Surround Sound
Sony Playstation 2
Philips 32" TV
And my autographs from Ray Park (Darth Maul), Dave Prowse (Darth Vader), and Michonne Bourriague (Aurra Sing)

I've got a Focke-Wulf 190 model (Monogram, circa 1985) and a metal Civil War field piece cannon on my shelf (among other things), and I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Interest in history isn't political, as such.

Love the collection, Mike (especially all the TNG, DS9 and B5.) I think you're also the only other person I've encountered who has a copy of the Hallmark Odyssey.
Yep, got a space there open for Babylon 5 Season 5 coming out in a few weeks.
Odyssey? Yep, bought that in a boxset along with Jason and the Argonauts and a few others.
And I love the duck.

Wow... I'm jealous of many of you. Much of my money goes into music production (synths, etc.), but I have been able to devote a part of my budget towards home entertainment:
This is a wide view of my living room. You can also see my 1600+ CD's lining the wall.
These are my DVD shelves that are on the left side of the first pic
My anime collection located on the other side of the room.

It's just the right size for the room. Anything larger would be a bit too much.

Nice racks. What size are you using right now? Did you have to purchase extra shelves or they come with the right number of shelves for the DVD height? They looks like they are specially designed for DVDs.

Btw, did you have to special order the 2 additional shelves or were they readily available at the store?

What color are you selecting, black-brown? Some are avilable under 31.5" x 79.5" and others are under 31" x 80". For finish white, beech veneer and birch veener choose the 31.5" x 79.5" option, for the dark grey metallic or oak veneer choose the 31" x 80" option. Black-brown is the only one not available in those sizes. The true dimensions are the same.
Choose the 31" x 80" option, which is available for order. You'll notice that the measurements, found underneath the size selection, shows that the true dimensions are 31.5" x 79.5".
