Why so definite about LCD > Plasma. Just asking cuz im gonna be making that choice soon.

Marshall that is the same one i am getting. The LN46A650. Then again now that the 52" is coming down in price i might just get that. But make sure you keep with the 650 series because even though it isn't the newest model it actually has a better response time. Samsung definitely seems to have the best LCDs too.

Kenny i like the LCD over plasmas because they are lighter, more energy efficient and personally i think the new LCDs looks a LOT better.

7 series, check it son! I can't decide now actually... You are right though, I won't go any lower than the 6 series (specifically the 650, the 630 only has 3 HDMI inputs). The 7 series is basically the same, with the addition of DLNA (you can remotely access your computer for files, pictures, videos, etc). 8 Series again has the same specs, but is much thinner & lighter.

I am not sure if we should go with the 46" or 52" though...I am not so much worried about the price as just the 52" being too big. I think it will be fine though.

And Kenny, I am choosing LCD over Plasma for the exact reasons Turco mentioned.

I did have to extend a couple wires for one of the sensors. I will have to look at which one.

The H22 is an awesome motor.

My brother has one in his Accord. The car keeps up just fine with STI and EVOs in the same class at most tracks.

Yeah i have no need for the DLNA with the PS3. The 650 does have the LAN input so you can get weather and news and such.

Evo will be down for at least another week Is that a kerosene heater? If so greg used to have the same one. It sounds like a friggin jet. We used to turn it on and hang out in the basement until the garage was heated then go out. It isnt bad if you are working alone just loud.

Well i temporarily hooked up the sub until greg can come over and help me permantely mount it. I forgot how frigging good it sounds. I listened to a bit of A Milli and ZOMG so awesome.

Here are some pics of the intake mani uninstall, someone was asking for them:

haha, i missed this one

It really depends on the living room. My cousin has a tiny living room in his house in NY and the 46" is HUGE in there since at the furthest distance you are about 4 ft from the TV.
