|
|
|

The speakers on either side of the tv are just sad. But the reflection in the tv of your view is just amazing! I can see the commercial now... 60 inch TV: $5000, Speakers for TV and soundsystem: $9.99, Using your MacMini on that 60" TV with a picturesque view over your shoulder: priceless.

I didn't notice the little speakers until Greg pointed them out. I don't think they look bad, just small. I also have small speakers for movies. I wanted a full range of sound without having to turn up the volume. Seems appropriate in a nice apartment like that.

Hey I'm gettin a mac mini for ma christmas, can ya connect a microphone that works with a pc aswell or do u have to buy a completely different microphone. o and what a screen. whoa nice veiw could we see the mac mini workin on it with the TV on

@Benjo, you need a USB (or firewire?) external soundcard _OR_ a USB microphone like Logitech makes it. Alejandro: The setup looks awesome indeed, if you replace some stuff in the future you might think of matching the colours of the equipment somewhat more (alu-colored receiver, speakers and such). Your view on the bay is priceless, must be terrifying though, when a storm is coming!
