Thanks Wreck! As you can probably tell, dusting and cable management are not my strengths but I have put lots of time, money and love into my setup

nice setup and I guess we all have the dust problem

nice setup and I guess we all have the dust problem

I think so, I just find it so futile, I'll dust and then within an hour I can already see dust layers again on all the black surfaces

Nice setup FoG. I like the little team Canada guy between the speakers hanging out there, lol.

I share your frustration with dust. Dust is enemy #1. You have to constantly clean to keep dust from building up.

I know that way to well - that's why I now got white cabinets But the floor is really dark But I can live with it - I mostly switch the light off when I watch a movie or play PS3 so I don't see the dust anymore

Awesome setup FoG. Those speaker must rock your cave inside out!!! Can't believe those little heroes manage to stay there standing!


Dust... where??? I don't see any!!! Are you like my wife and see dust everywhere when there's not?

 

[Munstarz40]

Awesome man cave! So is the secondary setup just for those times where you want to enjoy a movie by yourself without anyone talking to you?

 

[cheaney]

Great set up but seeing all those cables would drive me mad I would have to hide them. Bet it sounds great

They haven't fallen over yet the sound system does really pound, unfortunately my mom complained about everything shaking upstairs so I had to turn the subwoofer dial down to 50%

It's there I swear

Awesome man cave! So is the secondary setup just for those times where you want to enjoy a movie by yourself without anyone talking to you?

No, I always watch movies on my own, even on my main setup (I prefer it that way, I'll go to the theater if I have to watch with other people ) The secondary setup has a couple purposes:
- when friends come over, they bring their PS3 and use it on this setup
- acts as a computer monitor/speaker system for my laptop
- can watch TV while lying in bed (have a really long Monster component cable running from where the PVR is to the 42")

Great set up but seeing all those cables would drive me mad I would have to hide them. Bet it sounds great

+1 they are visually unappealing for sure, one day I need to figure out a wire management solution

everyone for your comments!

Seems so - but it's strange I only see it in your room. In my room I don't have any dust at all

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

LOL, dust on the relective surfaces, on top of the speakers, on the steelbooks (a guess) etc

 

[Deanoaka]

Loving the dust.... Not liking the Devils top though

Not a Devils fan eh lol? My favourite NHLer is Marty Brodeur, which is why I became a Devils fan. I will still cheer for the team after he retires of course, but if I ever had an idol or hero (besides my dad), it would be Brodeur
