Yeah. Only recently got it. My room is so small but I wanted a sofa for when mates/girls come round. Probably a little too close to the screen but saves buying a bigger TV lol.

Thought i may as well post some pics of my mum's setup while we're at it

Old pics tho, excuse the xmas decorations, and the TV has since been moved down and the centre speaker placed above instead of below the screen, much better now.

Speakers will be for sale soon too, if anyone is interested? My parents have just got back toghter (after 18 years apart

) and my dad is moving into my mums, his speakers are better suited to that room so hers will be for sale (and I get his old 40" plasma for free

)

Thought it was a no-no putting a TV above the fireplace?

Wow a tidy boy

That was just after I'd decorated. It's never really that tidy these days

Although I do get a bit OCD about it sometimes.
Made a few changes since then too. Upgraded the DVD player, got rid of the Xbox360 and bought a PS3 instead. Next on the list is a 1080p TV I think.

Visible cables FTL

5.1 system is a Grundig setup that I need to get round to replacing really

Does anybody run their Wii through component? Wondered if it makes much of a difference, not that impressed by the gfx through RGB

Yes, run your Wii through component. There's a noticeable difference.

How much did you pay for the cable? Haven't looked into it, just read it in the manual?!

I didn't personally (I haven't got a Wii), but I've read over and over again that there's a big difference in quality between SCART and Component regarding the Wii. I imagine it'd be around £10-£17.
