Well, i'm working with a small living room in my apartment and I didn't want to have to bother with hiding wires for true surround speakers (that can wait till I move into a condo) so I went simple.

TV- Samsung 1080p LCD LN-S4695D

Onkyo TX-SR604 reciever

Motorolla DCT 6416 III HD-DVR cable box

Xbox 360 via VGA to tv and optical audio to reciever

PS3 via HDMI to reciever

Polk SurroundBar and Polk subwoofer

Here is a picture of the setup while play Gears of War

I haven't put the back on the stand yet so you can see the wires, I was waiting till I got all the components in place so I can mark where to drill holes for wires/venting etc.

So what do you guys think?
