I can't find the "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGR" on the IKEA site...can you just give me a direct link? Thanks.
/sarcasm...
This is my set up, although its a bit ugly looking since i am cramped for space in my university room.
From left to right:
Samsung 720p/1080i TV connected to iMac and PS3
A PS3 with playTV, 2 controllers, about 12 games and a logitech g25 steering wheel
Bose Companion 5
iPod nano 8GB and iPod (one before 'classic') 80GB
24" iMac top end with wireless mouse and logitech mx revo mouse
brand new MBP 15" top end (well not with that stupid SSD overpriced thing)
ethernet/wireless HP printer C6280
it looked a lot nicer at home since i had more space, but uni is a bit cramped. well its cramped with all this stuff anyways. was planning on getting those LED light strips from IKEA, next year when i move into a bigger place, ie big house between three people
How are you finding the Bose Companion 5's? worth the money? Pros cons?
certainly worth the money. even though i got a 10% discount because i work at comet, i would have paid for the full price. the cons are that you can only have two inputs (one through USB (from iMac) and one from 3.5mm jack (from TV/PS3)) but its quite good because it manages to mix both signals, so i can be playing a PS3 game and listen to music from iTunes at the same time. also it is sometimes a bit basey...
apart from that they sound great. they are very good for movies and games as they spread the sound out at a large angle, but more importantly sound very good for music. obviously the low sound is excellent, as well as very good mid-range sounds. if you listen to some very high music it is ok, but you are able to get better sound from other systems (then again you are able to spend literally thousands more on other systems).
i have moved them around from place to place, used the sub woofer as a foot rest, bashed them about when the sub woofer was on the floor (with the chair and shoes) and everything still works. nothing has fallen off, nothing looks at all old. the quality of the materials used as well is very good and the metal components feel very sturdy.
the subwoofer 'problem' could just be because (as seen in the picture) i have the subwoofer between my TV which is placed in the corner and the wall. so sound just bounces all over the place which is not good.
defiantly worth 315/£280...
Cool cheers! Was thinking about getting some for my xbox/media room
Interesting that you can mix the signals from both inputs... what my TV doesn't do when i wished it would
You could always have a jack splitter and have multiple inputs in the 3.5mm jack if you wanted more.
Do all the input cables go into the sub and how big is it?
Nice room btw, a lot of money spent there
I'm hopfully getting a macbook for my 18th then use when I go uni for architecture for how ever many years
Also want a 24" screen (possibly the new dell 23"/24" screens for £199/£249) then the desk I'm making at the moment:Macrumors thread with build progress

Can't wait
Unfortunately it is unavailable online...at least right now, so it says. Guess that means it is out of stock or only available in Ikea stores....?
"Sorry, this product is not for sale on our website, check if it is available in your local store."
Keep watching it. eventually it will be available to order online. I just hate their shipping charges.

nice desk design - where did you get that flash page flip thing, ive seen it so many times before but kept forget to have a look for it.
most cables go into the sub, but you have the easy access 3.5mm input on the metal sound controller which is also on/off button. you just tap the BOSE logo to switch it on and off
Ditto. Their shipping is pretty high...almost ridiculous. Check eBay...someone might have one for sale. Might get it quicker and cheaper, too.
My Setup
Redesigned my home setup this week. Went out and bought a Griffin Elevator, an Apple Keyboard, and a Microsoft Arc Mouse to basically make a computer docking system.
Here's a link to pictures of my previous setup along with images of my school theatre setup.

i know you ask him, but my father has the arc. I like it. I have used it. I am not a fan of the scrolly on it though. It has that annoying tick tick tick scroll and it drives me mad. But other than that, a great full sized portable mouse. unique looking to
It's pretty good, although the mouse settings were awful when it came to sensitivity under System Preference's default options, so I had to download the drivers or whatever they are called from Microsoft's site. But I can't for the life of me get the customized programing for the side button or scroll wheel button to work, which does make me a little upset. But otherwise it is a great mouse, I for one like the feedback from the scroll wheel.
This mouse is great and the receiver is absolutely tiny and fits into the keyboard's outlet and is completely hidden underneath the keyboard, which was the one thing that I was worried about, because I wasn't sure the keyboard would be able to power it and I wanted it hidden.
But I highly recommend this mouse for anybody that is looking for one, well worth the price.
Awesome, thanks. I have use both Macs and PCs and would probably use it on a PC anyway so I wouldn't have the software/driver issue you mentioned. But, I was specifically interested in how you liked the feel, etc., so thanks for your input!
Just picked up the 24" display so I redid my setup.
15" Unibody MBP
24" 2408 UltraSharp Dell Display
HDs of sorts
