I am looking to set up a home entertainment system and wanting suggestions on what you have found works well.
I don't have any of the pieces yet, so I am pretty flexible. Some of my thoughts / decisions are between lcd vs a projector, blueray player vs a media computer vs ps3. The receiver and speakers I suppose are more straight forward - I will just have to find something that fits my budget and sounds ok.
I have heard some favorable opinions on the mac mini but since it doesn't have HDMI plugs or a blueray player it seems less of a candidate and surprising they didn't ad those if it is marketed towards being a media pc. PS3 is nice that it has wifi, can stream music from a pc, has blueray plus is a gaming consol, having just a PC is more complicated than a simple Blueray player but could have it's advantages.
lcd or projector? It sure seems tempting to be able to project a nice large image, but for everday use perhaps a lcd is simpler. the projector takes up much less space though and the screen could be rolled up out of sight.
anyhow, what have you done and what do you like / dislike about it?
