No home theater is complete without a high quality digital library playback solution:
 Logitech Squeezebox (That's part of my day job by the way, I work on the software/services for this stuff. The one linked above is the expensive audiophile unit, they make reasonably-priced units too  ).

There's a million ways to play digital audio, I guess, but the Slim Devices stuff puts a lot of focus on good codec support in the hardware and high quality DACs and outputs. It's audiophile-grade stuff dedicated to the task of reproducing sound, rather than "hey we have audio out, let's tack on mp3 playing support onto our game console". I suppose if you actually are playing low-quality mp3s there might not be much difference anyways (as mp3 loses so much quality right off the bat), but for a FLAC (or other lossless codec) digital collection it matters.There are only a few true competitors in this segment, the most notable being Olive and Sonos. Regardless of what you use for the audio out part in the living room, one thing that's really nice to do for any of them is to move your digital audio library to a dedicated little NAS server, so that your PC can be shut off (or busy playing games or whatever). Stuff like the ReadyNAS (or any of its million competitors) is cheap and works well for that sort of thing. |

Here is my setup (most not shown in the picture)
Olevia 47 inch LCD Kenwood 5.1 surround sound w/ Sub Samsung Blu-ray Player Xbox360 Wii TV was mounted above the fireplace in my apartment by me and my friend. Power outlet had to be ran and installed behind the TV and cables were ran separately. It took alot of butchering to the wall and studs but we patched the wall up and it turned out really nice.  On a side note: the wii sensor bar (the wire seen running off the left side) has been replaced by a wireless one now.
