Yes that VF5 stick really stands out for me.
A great product definitively ...

Work In Progress as I just moved in this place ... will update as it moves along.
Finally a dedicated spot for my R7 DC and more to come ...
Cleaning up the setup; still a bit to do - will be wall mounting the 65". Please forgive me about the surrounds on top of the floorstanders, I am putting the mounts up for them tomorrow.
Name on this bench, and where you got it?
Stunning
Posted in the August thread - but here it is:
Im very happy with it.
New:
Pioneer Elite BDP- 62FD Bluray Player
KEF Master Reference Q200C Centre
Pioneer SC LX56 9.2 Channel AV Receiver @ 130w per channel.
Big step up from the PS3, Infinity Cascade and Denon AVR 1911!
wow my set up is almost exactly like yours. I even have the same keyboard and mouse pad as you.

I like some of these setups. You guys look like you have nice houses.
Here is mine. Converted attic into a man cave.
XBMC? What theme is that?
It's cheap; looks great where it needs to (looks dodgy as hell where you can't see) and I've done a heap of custom modifications to it too.
Here: Memphis 200cm
I'm not sure if there's a better thread to ask this, but I was hoping someone could be my HDMI Sherpa and give me a recommendation. With the PS4 and XB1 on the horizon, I find myself with an HDMI input crisis. The TV I have now only has one HDMI port, and all of the TVs I've looked at -- for a potential upgrade -- don't seem to have more than 2 or 3, max.

Can anyone recommend a good, preferably not uber expensive, HDMI selector box?
I finally found the desk I want to get (below is not my setup, just an example). It's discontinued now too so it's value should increase, not decrease
So, I just moved down to Shreveport, LA (anyone in the area?) and I was hoping you guys could give some advice on how I should set everything up. When I get home today I'm going to take some pictures of the space I have to work with and throw them up on here. I have a very pesky fireplace and window that are really mucking up anything I can come up with. I'm going to go all out with the cable management and want a more sleek and streamlined look to the place. Until then!
Edit: Let's do this thing. So I put up some letters to make it easier. Please forgive the terrible computer and television. I bought most everything when I was still a student. I'm going to put up a 5.1 surround system. I have a glass TV Stand and glass L-shaped desk coming. The desk could also just be in a straight line. If it would be helpful, I could include links to what they look like. Assume I'll clean up the terrible kitchen mess as well!

Quick question: do you plan on using the fireplace? I'm not too far from you (Dallas) and I can tell you that in this climate, you're not going to need it that much, if at all.
If you're not going to use the fireplace, put the couch against that wall as close to the kitchen as you can get it, then the TV on the opposite wall. I say as close to the kitchen as you can get because then you can put the L-shape desk in either corner near the window.
If you do want to use the fireplace, then your only real option is to put the TV on the wall with the window with the couch in the middle of the room facing the TV. You can offset the light by buying very dark curtains or getting blinds that are either dark or a bamboo/wood flavor. Then maybe you can put the desk behind the couch via the longer piece idea you had (rather than a corner desk). Doing it that way might allow you to use your PC and TV at the same time, if that interests you. I'd have to know exact dimensions to even be sure it would work and it might still look tacky.
I really think ignoring the fireplace is your best bet.

Thanks for the response. I picked up a new TV stand today and I think I'm going to go ahead and put the TV up in front of the window which I was trying to avoid, but I can't really come up with anything else. I am going to just ignore the fireplace. Seriously, who needs one down here. I'm afraid of it looking crazy tacky as well, but I'll just have to try it and see.
More detailed Pics of my PC setup.
Here's my view looking at my PC. Please excuse the crappy panoramic shot. There is my Logitech G13 Gamepad, G19 Keyboard, WoW Cataclysm Mouse. 3X Dell 24" monitors with various Lego Super Hero minifigs on top. I have more of those. Lots more.
Art Books on the side.
Logitech Z5500 sound system with G35 headset within hands reach.
3x3TB externals and my tower.
2x2TB externals hidden on back shelf of desk.
Some White Dwarf magazines out to look through for inspiration and as a lead into what's in my desk.
Top Drawer: Paint, and lots of it. It actually goes back another 4-5 rows of paint than what is pictured.
Second Drawer: Washes, metallics, inks, transparent acrylics, and basing supplies.
Third Drawer: Bulk paint, more inks, clues, washes, and more basing supplies.
Also in the last drawer is my modeling kit containing brushes, miter box, clippers, pins, files, dental tools, various clamps, more basing supplies, Micron pens, and various putties.
All used to model and paint stuff like this.
Pic for size comparison.
Most of my painting supplies are actually in another room now, but I keep the basics close at hand.
I'll post a more detailed view of my media room some other time.

That desk looks amazing. I too don't really like the legs though.
Cmon give a name, and price?
Mine sucks compared to others here
Is the blu ray player really better then the PS3? I was thinking on getting an Elite blu ray player and wondered if it was better then the PS3 I have been using since 2006.

Holy shit, dude. I want your setup!I've decided to take some new pictures of my setup to post them here.
I knew when I saw the Aqua Blue 3DS the colour was familiar. Of course the Gamecube NR reader.http://i.imgur.com/NhyBpxkl.jpg
