Try having a browse through AV Forums Home, should give you all the answers you need.

Do an Advanced Search using "Ikea" and specifying NSR. There a thread titled "Massive New Telly" which might contain what you want, otherwise search away.

I've got 2 rooms back to back and I put all my equipment for both rooms in a kitchen cupboard

43" for the kitchen, wouldn't want to get carried away



50" for the lounge and an 8 foot projector screen....



Projector & rear speakers



and the kit cupboard that powers it all -

Al,

If its the ones from DFS how did you get that formation.

Thanks

Yep - DFS ones with some extra cushions.

It's basically 2 of these with the foot stool shown on the left spun round to where the guys foot is, then another set in reverse.

Where it says "click here to view other seating options" gives a better idea.

We sometimes have the stools in place, sometimes not - makes it into quite a large bed type area with them in place, excellent for watching films.

I'll dig out some more photos.

Al

Here's a couple more - foot stools in 'film' configuration -



and stools spun the other way so you can walk round, sit down, then put your feet up -

I look at those sofas and I just think of the frolicing (sp?) that must have taken place there

We looked at those in DFS but prefered THESE from John Peters, and only £1395 (were £1250 before the sales )....



Stunning set-up there Alistair, those dining chairs look a little crowded though

We looked at something similar to those - they were 'too brown' apparently.....

The dining chairs are a little snug but not quite as cramped as they look. We usually only use 8 or so, but have used all 12 OK.

Glad you like it

They are available in cream and bicuit too. We'd probably go for the biscuit (so very similar to yours) as the brown would show the cat hairs and the cream would get grubby too quickly.

No I haven't but heard its pretty good. I've got the iMac linked to my Hifi via Airport Express wireless plug. Basically I can play music through my Hifi without them connected to each other.

Al, have to say the AV kit looks a tad incidental

But that's one helluva microwave you've got there

I've got the EyeTV thing running through my MacBook Pro - it's BRILLIANT.

Will put up my pictures of my room, once my new Panny 42" plasma is wall-mounted. (need to decorate at the same time, due channelling all the cables - got brick )

Loving all these pictures (and the one's on AV Forums) - you can just TELL, who hasn't got any kids!! I, have two little monsters & two dogs....

This piccy is "as is" - the TV table was borrowed from my mum and dad, it's older than me (I'm 33!) Kinda adds to the room I think!!




Also running 2 x 250Gig "media" drives for use around the house - daughter's got an IMac in her bedroom (seriously locked down, as she's only 6), but has full access to the music, videos & pictures on the drives.

Looking at Apple TV as a solution to getting it all up onto the Panny. Not convinced yet.

Also have my studio networked to it all, so I can play mixes/raw dvd (pre-burning to disc) through the surround system. Using the Xbox 360 as the media player at present.

Will be much sweeter when I get it all sorted this year though.

Dan
