Moved to a new house in May, 2011. The front speakers and subwoofer have been carried over, and are located outside of this picture. All wiring is run through the walls. Rear in-ceiling speakers have been added making it a true 5.1 setup. The new TV is an LG Infinia 55LW5600.

One of the requirements of the TV stand was to have adequate ventilation for all my components. I had the builder fabricate a bracket on each side which hold a 120mm DC fan from Coolerguys.com. Those, combined with an automatic temperature controller, does a good job of keeping everything inside the cabinet nice and cool at all times.

Same gear as before but now with a new solid wood custom made TV stand.
New gear coming soon!

Pansonic TH-42PZ77U (calibrated with Avia), wall mounted by me using a Peerless tilting mount,
Power Bridge, Monoprice HDMI cables and wall plates. Sources include a 80GB PS3 and Samsung
DVD recorder fed through an Onkyo TX-SR605. The subwoofer is an HSU Research STF-2 and sits on
a Auralex Gramma isolation riser. The new speakers are TSC T-series center channel and bookshelf
speakers. Control is handled by a Harmony 550 and PS3Toothfairy. The brown leather cases on
top of the TV stand hold my 300+ disk movie collection.

Here you can see the CabCool 1202 fan kit that I installed at the back of my cabinet. It does a
great job evacuating the hot air put out by the PS3 and the Onkyo. Next to the PS3 is the PS3
toothfairy which allows full control of the PS3 with my Harmony remote. The Samsung DVD
recorder is one of the worst piece of electronics I have ever owned. I would not recommend it to
anyone.

Grills on.

This shot from underneath the TV shows the Monoprice HDMI wall plate and cable as well as the Power Bridge.

Wow... TSC speakers, those bring back memories. Too bad D&M holdings shot them down.. Really cheap but well performing speakers..

onyxbfly  » Oct 10, 2012 04:08 AM

I like the evolution of your home theater. While not breaking the bank on any of your purchases. You attain a higher level with each and every upgrade . Your theater is very clean and thorough. Running cables through the walls etc and your leds around your TV, simply take it to another level.

Alpha Sixx  » Feb 17, 2012 09:25 PM

Nice clean set up!, im from houston too!

rkolinski  » Jan 14, 2012 12:40 PM

I think your home theater is beautiful and is definitely deserving of a 10/10!

Bluvette  » Jan 12, 2012 10:22 AM

Very nice setup, sweet gear and speakers.

nezff  » Feb 06, 2011 07:23 PM

very nice,10/10

nezff  » Jan 31, 2011 11:40 AM

nice

pmac  » Dec 30, 2010 07:01 PM

Love the different lighting

BluBlazer  » Jun 17, 2010 12:32 PM

Nice setup. Love the Panny and all the gear. Like the custom made cabinet and good idea with the fans. I think I need to do that with mine. The PS3 gets HOTTTT!!!!

jonmoz  » Jun 11, 2010 04:58 AM

Very nice looking setup and room plus some very cool A/V gear too,the Led backlight shots of your T.V look awsome !!!

4x12  » May 15, 2010 08:36 PM

This is another nice setup I haven't seen before... very clean. Love the gear and great screen shots! and nice DIY with the fan.

snsguy  » Apr 15, 2010 09:14 AM

Very nice! I like the back lights. Great job!

jjmbxkb  » Apr 01, 2010 10:14 PM

I think this is the second TSC setup I've seen among the galleries. What a shame they closed doors! I auditioned them, among Ascend, Polk, Energy C series, etc. The TC2 is the most natural sounding center channel among them. The TST2 have great rich mid range. I almost went with them until I ran into killer deal from vanns.com on Energy RC 70's. Great setup.

kareface  » Feb 25, 2010 09:39 PM

Love the last 4 images of the gallery, very cool.

Spurrier Sucks  » Feb 06, 2010 07:44 PM

Looks nice. I need some cooling fans myself.

saroufim  » Nov 30, 2009 03:11 PM

very nice setup, i like something clean/not messy but not too plain either and u have exactly that

SeanMF  » Oct 22, 2009 08:55 PM

Very nice...I like the tv

Dcryption  » Sep 10, 2009 04:17 AM

I like the lights on back of TV!

Jtodd  » Aug 17, 2009 06:51 PM

Very clean and nice I like it,nice equiptment!

eljay  » Aug 17, 2009 06:00 PM

Nice set-up! Any plans for surrounds?

titogap  » May 28, 2009 09:26 AM

Very nice set up I liked very much! MMM!!!! HSU sub, I want it... congratulations DavidAg02's

PitbullMike  » May 16, 2009 11:44 PM

Why did you take off your ratings?Looks good BTW

Sonny  » May 15, 2009 01:11 PM

Looks good , & nice job with the fans & wall plates!

Bourne1  » May 14, 2009 08:16 PM

Nice set up, I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. How do you like your CabCool 1202 fan? Does it provide adaquate airflow for your components? Are the fans loud (can't be louder than the PS3, well at least mine)?

mustang-gt-2002  » Apr 11, 2009 01:07 AM

nice setup. wanted to give you a 8.0 looks good you may like our new setup more now. we got a new stand.

michael3600@comcast.  » Feb 04, 2009 11:31 AM

That's a nice setup!!

DavidAg02  » Feb 03, 2009 10:45 AM

Haha! You have no idea how much that outlet bugs me man!! One of my goals for 2009, is to redo/modify some of the overhead lighting. When that happens, I can finally get rid of the stupid lamp that is plugged into that outlet.

brettallica  » Feb 02, 2009 06:44 PM

Great cable management, and fantastic gear. Move that outlet three feet to the right and you've got yourself a über-clean setup. Still looks really, really good, though. 9/10 for sure.

Yeha-Noha  » Jan 31, 2009 10:23 PM

Nice DIY work. Looks great. The center speaker is nicely centered below the screen and flush with the front of the entertainment center. Nice job centering the L/R fronts too. I like your speaker stands that seem to match the cabinetry. Did you make those stands? If so, excellent work. Nice job running the HDMI cable through wall and adding cool looking wall plates for the HDMI connections.

jayo  » Jan 31, 2009 09:32 AM

i like how clean the set up is,love the onkyo amp,and the panasonic screen.

uziel5000  » Jan 30, 2009 02:30 PM

Very inventive cooling solution. Very good work.

michael3600@comcast.  » Jan 30, 2009 01:21 PM

I'll have to step my game up now!!

Steve  » Jan 29, 2009 07:07 PM

Nice looking setup. Good job keeping your cables out of sight. Very clean.

agoofykindasuperman  » Jan 28, 2009 10:12 PM

haha, I have that exact Samsung DVD recorder... what don't u like about it? I don't use it much to give it a review... can't even remember the last time I did use it actually! lol

liquidice  » Jan 20, 2009 01:30 PM

very clean. left and right seem a little low though, hard to tell forsure by the pics, and I also don't know how low your viewing seat is.

vickie  » Jan 15, 2009 06:00 PM

I like it! Clean, functional and it seems to look perfect for the space. I think the fan is a great idea; I know from personal experence that Onkyo receivers run hot. If you look again at my system there isn't much room between the top of the receiver and the bottom of the shelf.

Michel Lapierre  » Jan 14, 2009 04:10 PM

Nice setup, we have the same taste.

Johnny Vinyl  » Jan 10, 2009 12:46 PM

Clean looking and functional! Love the fact your 3 fronts are at the same height!

efesbe  » Jan 09, 2009 01:02 PM

Nice and very proportional with the stand. Nice touch on the HDMI plates instead of just throwing the cables inside the drywall.

PootieThang  » Jan 06, 2009 01:16 AM

Nice setup, I gave you .5 better because people are hating haha.

PootieThang  » Jan 06, 2009 01:16 AM

Nice setup, I gave you .5 better because people are hating haha.

mikeymay  » Dec 30, 2008 12:44 AM

How many Aggies does it take to build a home theater system? Sorry, couldn't resist.

triple-x  » Dec 19, 2008 03:43 PM

very clean looking. kinda has an oriental feel to it.. the bamboo looking stuff in the vases and the dvd cases maybe? how does the right spkr sound being cramp up next to the couch tho? Nice Auralex iso pad. I have been using auralex for over a decade in Studio environments. Very good material, although it gets overlooked alot. And the ps3toothfairy is nice to have too i bet.

matthewrounds  » Dec 16, 2008 02:19 PM

I really like the setup. Can the room accommodate a bigger TV on the wall? Also, how are your rears mounted?

darwin316  » Dec 15, 2008 10:43 AM

Nice work with the wiring.... that's a very clean setup!

111111  » Dec 14, 2008 11:26 PM

Very nice and yes...We do have similar setups!

VinnAY  » Dec 14, 2008 10:48 AM

I'm not really diggin it.

ClaytonMG  » Dec 13, 2008 07:40 PM

I like how clean it looks!

aramis109  » Dec 09, 2008 01:34 PM

Ooh, a HSU! I'm jealous! Very nice and clean setup.

DavidAg02  » Dec 08, 2008 12:01 PM
