Thank you very much. I have a few DVDs that I would like to display and those will definately do the trick.

Cheers again.

I'm still getting use to watching a DLP (since I've pretty much watch CRT-based units on my life).

HD-DVD looks great. Detail, colors, etc are all there. Contrast levels are also quite nice.

Some of the programming with my TW HD Feed still breaks-up during the flashy concerts (with alot of action in the background). Obviously, this is a TW issue.

Originally, I was looking at the XBR2's, but the overal price and comparable setup drove me to the Toshiba.

Haven't used the speakers at the base of the unit. All my audio is directed to my receiver.

I've already posted my DVD shelfs in part 10 of this thread, but since upgraded to HD on a few things so here is my new HT set-up.
My set-up now consists of the following:
Denon 2807 HDMI receiver
Samsung BDP1000 BD player
THOR 4 to 1 HDMI switcher
Toshiba HD-EX 1 HD-DVD player
SKY HD+
OPPO 971 DVD player
Sony MDP 650 laserdisc player (old skool, boyz!)
X-Box 360

Here are some new pics I took.

50" Plasma, Yamaha 5.1 Surround System, DVDs and the cat.

Questions?

What stand, bookcases, and speakers do you have? And, if you don't mind me asking, how much did they cost and where did you get them?

Very nice setup...one of my favorites. I like the clean look. Its similar to the look I hope to accomplish when I redo mine in the next few months (hopefully).

Nice setup.

My only thing is I would move up that center speaker so that the sounds does not bounce of the stand shelve.

Great setup! What's the box beside the Hitchcock set?

Question of the day. I'm wondering the same thing.

Love the bookcases. Must tell. Nice TV, too.

Identify:

I like how clean you've kept everything.

Those are IKEA Billy bookcases with glass doors. I have the same ones.

I have the Billy bookcases also (although with two extra shelves). I think they are perfect for DVDs. With the extra shelves DVDs fit with about a half an inch to a full inch, each shelf. All in all one will hold about 360 DVDs.

I was wondering about the glass doors, though. Is there any way to lock them? I want a way to lock my DVDs up, but don't really want to switch away from shelves I'm already very happy with.

Great idea, that never even occurred to me. Thanks!

Stand - Very similiar to this model:

Maybe I will keep it a secret.

Come on! the suspense is killing me! seriously though great set up.

Why no wall art?

I had those too. They look nice, but they are too deep for movies. I dont like the way DVD's look pushed that far back, plus it makes it harder to see whats on the bottom two rows unless you lie down on the floor. They are great for showing goodies, but not so hot for DVDs. Just my 2c.

Why not keep them lined up at the front of the shelf? I also use IKEA bookshelves & it's how I do it.

I put a layer of old VHS tapes in the back, and then the DVDs line up evenly about an inch from the front edge of the shelf. I also put books on the bottom shelves which helps make the bookcase more stable.


The doors don't lock. The hinges just hold them against the front of the bookcase. There's a little gap between the doors when they're closed that might bother some people. Not real high quality, but the overall effect looks nice.

It's not much, but here's all the stuff I've got:

I'm working on it

I've been wanting to post my collection in here for a while...
I'm rather proud of my collection being I'm a college student (graduate in a week!!) and still live with my parents..
No HT just a 55" Rear Projection Magnavox

Here are some of the boxsets I have

And some more
