Holy Home Entertainment Batman!

I fancy myself pretty good at home entertainment setups. To illustrate this, I will share with you two, yes two of my own home entertainment setups. The first is my apartment in the crappy town where I go to graduate school and the second is my famiily's setup back home. I will list the devices, types of a/v cords, and other additional accessories. Two devices are in both locations and the only things I'm leaving out are the device power cords.

Apartment Setup
Devices
-TV
-Xbox 360 Elite
-Blu-Ray Player
-Tivo
A/V
-4 HDMI cords
-HDMI switcher (automatic, self-powered)
-Coax Splitter
-2 Coax cords
-R/L audio RCA cord
-2 External speakers
-1 Subwoofer
-2 speaker cords
-Apple USB wall charger
Additional Power/Accessories
-6 plug wall outlet adapter
-Power strip
-Ethernet hub
-3 ethernet cords
-Xbox 360 Intercooler (black)
-3 remotes

Home Setup
Devices
-TV
-Xbox 360 Elite
-Blu-Ray Player
-Cable Box
-TV Receiver
-Bose Media Center
-Wii
A/V
-5 Speaker surround sound
-1 Subwoofer
-6 speaker cords
-1 master speaker cord (to Bose system)
-4 HDMI cords
-HDMI switcher (automatic, self-powered)
-4 optical audio cords
-Optical audio switcher
-Component A/V cord
- 2 R/L audio RCA cords
Additional Power/Accessories
-(2) 6 plug wall outlet adapters
-Xbox 360 Intercooler (black)
-Wireless headphones
-Wireless keyboard
-Logitech Harmony Remote (for 5 remotes)

Whew. I think I might be leaving out 3 cords of some sort. From scratch it would probably take me 30 minutes to set up the apartment and most likely 60-90 minutes for the house. To be honest, I still need to get the HDMI switcher for the apartment. I recommend this one. I use it at my house setup. It's awesome, small, automatic (make sure your devices don't attentuate the signal too long for this to work, gotta only be one signal at a time), and self-powered. Here a pic for scale.

Also, I really liked Griffons pic of her purse contents and Kylsie's homage to it as well. I think it makes for an awesome/interesting trend. I call on people to post pics of their wallet/purse contents. Guys, you can learn a lot from my skillful hiding of personal info:

Driver's license, ID from 2 universities (undergraduate & graduate), debit card, security swipe card (to get in university building after hours), old copy card, public library card, expired Sam's Club card, fraternity membership card, about 8 bucks given to me by my late Great Grandfather (lived to 105), Blockbuster card (haven't been in like 5 years), medical and auto insurance cards, three electronic voting ballot stubs, two "I Voted" stickers, voter registraion card, social security card, coffee shop punch card, 4 restaurant punch cards, record shop punch card, check cashing store punch card (that was like, 3 years ago), four movie ticket stubs, & finally business cards from a hookah lounge, a shisha wholesale company, a vet's office, and a winery/restaurant.

Whew. Not much ca$h. Mostly a plastic person now. I gotsta use the papuh more often.

DON'T STEAL MY IDENTITY!!!! PLZ+THXU!!

If that was true, wouldn't that mean that the strange conversations you had with most of your friends are really the normal ones... at least they're your norm according to what you wrote.... just pondering that thought.
