Title: Post your current entertainment set up, including your PCs and gadgets.
Post by: Rman on March 10, 2009, 03:54:18 PM

I made a similar thread last year.  I thought it would be fun to revisit it again this year.  2D2G has forced me to make some sacrifices on my current hardware and buying forecast.  For example, I opted for a 32 inch Samsung LCD instead of 40 inch Panny plasma.  I also postponed a DSLR purchase and some DJing equipment.  2D2G, indeed.

Living Room:
TV: 32 inch Sammy LCD
Sound: Sony HTiB 5.1
Bluray/DVD player: PS3
Consoles: PS3 60 gig awesome version, 360 Elite, Wii
Portables: DS Lite (White) PSP 2000

Computer:
MacBook (2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 Gigs of DDR1 Ram, 180G HDD)

Gadgets:
iPhone 3G

Planned, yet modest upgrades for this year:
Amazon Kindle 2.0
Onkyo Receiver
Net Book, mostly likely from the HP 1100 series

I also mostly use a combination of torrents, hulu, and netflix streaming and disc services to watch TV.  No cable for me.
