Finally got pictures up of my setup. Not nearly as fancy as many (if not most) of the setups here, but not bad for a college student!
Next I need to upgrade the audio. Looking at the Pioneer Elite, friend of mine has me convinced I need to spend like $1,400 for a "decent" system- let me rephrase that, he is trying to convince... But I definitely need a video-capable receiver as it is I can't plug the cable box in without switching inputs behind the PJ. Anyway.... photos (and crappy captions): www.GoDivine.net/HomeTheatre/Website
EDIT: You may notice my other "problem," the outlet on the projection wall. Though at first it really bugged me I have gotten so used to it I don't even notice it (which is good considering an iris flicker drives me absolutely crazy, only me and one other roommate can notice it)... anyway I plan on covering it with a flat plate but compare the PGR4 photo (second to last) to the Assassin's Creed photo (last) and you can see the difference. It normally blends in just fine like in the Assassin's Creed shot. The PGR4 shot is also taken much closer to the screen.
EDIT II: You may also notice my potential upgrade problem. The center channel just lays on the ground in front of the screen (because the trim already leaves about 2 inches of the bottom of the wall I can't use, the speaker only ends up taking an inch or two of projected screen- that's why I don't mount it up top like the others. The obvious problem is once I upgrade chances are my center speaker is not going to be 3-4" tall most likely. It shouldn't be huge but I think projecting more image on the center will not be very tolerable. I'll probably have to downsize, though the center channel will be one of the last things to upgrade. The left and right front channels got to go a year ago, they crackle like hell.
