Remember this is SA! YOu going to get mostly pics of old CRT tv's with crotchet knitted cloths on top in a 1970's press board wood finish cabinet. Other than that a lot of PC setups. Just my assumption. Lol

bmboy, have you visited avforums?
Check the members kit thread, espcially http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,367.555.html - page 38, you'll need to register to see the pictures, serious drool material.

I've seen that forum before, but not that thread. I'll check it out this weekend.
Did you get you projector yet by the way?

posted mine a while ago....
but I have since changed a few things....
MY decoders (HD PVR & SD PVR) are nowhere near each other any more... the heat interferes with the heartbeat signal! I sold the mVix PVR (on the left), I put an HT-PC in the left side cupboard. I no longer have the RF/AV combiner (thing with the red light next to decoders), cause I dont need it.... My wiring is a birds nest of scary behind and under the the cabinet!!
To Summarize:
1 X Pace HD PVR
1 X Pace SD PVR (Modded with an External 500gig Sata HDD)
1 X 47" Full HD Phillips LCD
1 X Sony DDW1600 6.2 HET system.
1 X HT-PC (1tb Hdd & Wired network) ASUS M3A-H/HDMi with X2 7750+ Black Edition 2.7GHz & 2 gig DDR2 800

n1 bmboy.... I think my wife would kill me If I did that!
STOP IT!
I want to go home
My wall is an oak colour (according to paint box) - wonder what it'll look like...
Lol you'll have plenty time to play with your new toy...
What I found with my projector is that a dark coloured wall will enhance your darker colours as seen in my pics and a white wall enhances your bright colours but causes your dark colours to look washed out... You need to find a balance. I haven't experimented with a grey though. Your display settings will help to compensate...

Some of the highend screens I have seen are a silver grey in colour, out of your image examples I prefer the one with the pink wall, the colours are so much richer and warmer.
I agree, but if you look at the background, you can barely see the background on the pink wall, but on the white you see everything... I must try playing around with the colour temperature settings. Those pics were taken with the default display settings. Also the whites look pink on a pink wall.
I had it set on cool once, but the whites still looked pink. If you watch a soccer match you'll see a huge difference between colours.

All I can say now is... I'm going shopping 2mrw for a new wall unit and a bracket for my LCD, currently using a display setup from a my mates old store (when 19inch Plasma cost +-R20000 ) so I need to "tidy" up my setup (and hide the cables) but hey... if it works good, looks good and sounds good... why not
BUT.. I still like the PINK wall
