OK Mike, I just finished building the HT a few months ago, so I can talk about this one.
The following are built into a wall with plenty of access behind. Toshiba H95-61" RPTV, Studio 80 mains, Paradigm in-walls for front effects, Paradigm CC-450, and two Velodyne HGS-10 subs. The platform, and speaker boxes were made with 1" MDF, left open in the back. The equipment rack, also 1" MDF, was built into a wall around the corner from the TV, so as not to distract from the screen. It holds a Yamaha DSP-A1, JVC SHiFI VCR, Yam S700 DVD, and NAD seperates for audio in another room. Rear speakers are also Studio 80's. Everything is controlled by a Philips Pronto(just got) with a RS ir extender. Lights (sconces and wall washes) and fan are also remote controlled. The speaker wires for the rears and the audio are run under the house, and inside the walls, then terminated to Niles speaker plates. A seperate line was run to a 35" Mits. TV in the family room for viewing on a smaller scale. The room is approx. 18x14x10, dedicated to HT. The walls are painted dark burgandy, with custom milled white crown mouldings and baseboards. A black leather, U shaped couch and ottomans can seat eight to ten. All art work and odds and ends are movie themed.
Building this room and system brought me back into the audio side again, and upgrading that part is my next project. Funny thing though Mike, I had alot more fun building the HT, then I've had using it.

Nurse, more meds please,
