Final mounting of the TV and added in this tiny little 3D Blu-Ray player...Under £100, also plays MKV files...The only one at that money I have seen that can...It also takes up zero space.
Next job is to remove the ugly wall brackets, fill in the holes and paint the wall in a sensible colour....I know some movie buffs are using a special black ( matt ) emulsion, which they say improves the viewing and picture perception...This setup ( excluding sound ) cost just over £500...42" 3D TV ( LG) and the new BRD £80.00
You can put together a decent system pretty cheaply now, and I honestly can't see any quality difference between the cheap bedroom setup and the far more expensive Sony in the living room.

Aural entertainment:
Visual entertainment:
The Crazies 7/10 - Typical viral outbreak film, but it has Raylan Givens in it.
Insidious 6/10 - I found it pretty easy to work out what was going to happen.
Premium Rush 8/10 - Lack of character development aside, I enjoyed it.
Where the Trail Ends 9/10 - Awesome documentary. Even if you don't like mountain biking.

Nice set up!!
Now post a picture of you wearing the lovely and stylish 3D glasses!
I don't get it ?!
EDIT: Just googled it ^^ Didn't know that brand existed, seems to be sponsored?

Saturns are Opels in Germany. Saturn no longer exists though.
Okay thanks ^^
Well, doesn't matter, the case is excellent! Though i have no idea why Spigen would name a case after a former car brand even with the original font
Sorry, I didn't notice you were in Germany with the first post. Saturn was an American auto manufacturer from the early 90s to the late 2000s, and yes the last few years most of their models were rebadged Opel or other GM models. Originally the body panels were made of plastic which made them hold up pretty well, but they had crazy wind noise (I drove one until November of 2011).
The case itself looks nice, I just thought it was odd.
You mean to tell me that people don't share the same opinions on things? The internet has clearly lied to me.
Ordered a Canon 60D body from Amazon, and it should be here tomorrow. Really lookng forward to it, as I have been using a Rebel XTi since 2007. I know this is a few years old, and the 70D is due out at any time, but the body is now down to $750. If anyone is interested in an excellent condition Rebel XTi with 18-55mm kit lens for $150, PM me...
Also ordered 2 spare batteries and a vertical grip. They are generic, but got good reviews.
You know your iPhone isn't fully utilizing TMO's frequencies right? So you are getting worse service/reception on it then you would with a TMO phone or the TMO iPhone coming out on the 12th
I picked this up and love it so far!

I know. It's a $30 experiment. Trying to decide if I should switch.
The guys that market these likely wear them on their fingers when they count their cash and maniacally laugh
