Well I'm a huge hypocrite. After my articulate speech about how I don't "need" anything, I happened upon a decent deal on craigslist, and for $500 bought a 32" lcd samsung tv and a 5 dvd player/rec/amp surround sound system.

However I think I'm going to resell the dvd player / surround sound system as my stereo is so much better, and the 5 dvd player doesn't shuffle play audio cds. Hell, shuffle play would be a fun idea for dvds too...

So if anyone is interested, I'll be selling:
Dennon AVR-800 receiver ($30 friends only)
Magnavox 32" tube tv (warning, it weighs a ton)
and the 5 dvd player/surround sound system

This guy has a series of utube vids in which he uses wii remotes for unexpected applications; in this case, he makes a simple mod that could make fps godly fun.

how much for the tv

For you, very little. $50? Must pick up (I can help car-carry)

Sorry babe, it ain't only about the TV.

I have the actual blueprint/plans for this:

but I think it needs to have to do a lot of mods - stained glass inserts in the lower doors (for the remote for the stereo)?

Hate the pine, but incredibly simple design, easy enough to modify.

Already sent you the real wood p0rn last night...

Yeah I was about to say meh on the corner unit, but you're right about the wood porn last night. It's not my fetish, but I totally pitched a tent over that one. I'm all about convertable things and options.

Done - np on time, it'll keep.

You can need things in ways that don't seem logical. You probably won't believe that, but I do know it's true.
