Because sequels are so awesome, this is a sequel to Cumbles "Take a picture of what you have on you" thread.
I took a picture of my old beat-down TV-cart. Yes, I need to replace it, it's been with me for years. But, here's the game.
Name every tech device on the cart that you can see. Hint: There are 11.

Damn dude, that's a lot of crap crammed in there!!! When I get home I'll take pictures of my make shift data closet. I'm sure Dave would make fun of me if he ever saw it... I'll post it later.

Relly shouldn't run the ps2 on it's side. Really shouldn't have the amp on the bottom of a stack either. You must save on heating that room though.

Name every tech device on the cart that you can see. Hint: There are 11.Yea, that picture is the smallest picture on this planet... Somehow I missed you asking us to guess.. here are my guesses:
1) Samsung TV?
2) That's a satellite box, and since it has the card in it, I'm going to say it's DirecTV? Although usually sat companies whore their names all over the boxes, and this doesn't have that. So maybe it's a cable box with a digital card in it?
3) DVD player
4) TiVo
5) XBox (with games on top)
6) Some sort of amplifier/receiver
7) PS2 slim
8) ADSL modem
9) Linksys/Cisco router
10) Wii
11) I have no clue what that vertical box is on top of your receiver

Get the HD DVD player off the side of the 360 as you're blocking air getting in and get it off the top of that amp just another heat issue jut waiting to happen like a time bomb..it's not a matter of if but when.

Have to agree Token, my jaw kinda dropped that you had that hotplate on the bottom and all those disc-spinning devices on their side. I don't have a 360, but even I know what the red ring of death is.
I wish I had a digital camera so I could show you ppl my living room tv, straight from the previous one time ownership of Leonard Greene who started Wal-Greenes. 1985 Sony trinitron. Older than ppl on this board.

Good god...Not to criticize but what is the point of having a dvd player and an hd-dvd 360 in the same area? There may be a point but I am just not aware of it.

It's like a boat, nearly 10feet long. It's not in the best condition 'appearance' wise. Strings and hamemrs etc are in check, but the outside of it is dented and scratched. I can't imagine how much old jazz player coke has been done off the top of it. It sits in an open ended room (one way kitchen the other way living room) that has a wall og glass that sticks out like a bubble. If I could make this '^' sign sit above the two slashes, imagine that being the shape of the glass the piano sits lateral to. \^/
Heres an old photo of where the piano is now. The large piece glass is in the middle of another three to the left, like the 3 on the right. It's kind of a viewing bubble for the stuff that goes on in my backyard.

yeh, 2 dvd's at the same time with picture in picture going on the one tv. You could have your regular stuff on the main screen and then a little window in the corner for midgets or whatever you prefer.

The DVD player is of the upscaling kind. It has HDMI. So the DVds look better from the DVD player. The main heat exhaust on the XBOX 360 is in the back and the big black thing on the bottom is a 5.1 home theater system...that I don't use. The TiVo could also be pitched.

I see alot of frequencies interfering with each other. Must be fun trying to game against your lagging line-up.

I just see alot of frequencies in proximity, more than likely there are hiccups. A person playing a game with you might see you pause momentarily, every time your phone rings.

Router - 2.4GHz
Wireless Audio Headphones - 900Mhz
Not really sure how you are thinking anything is going to be conflicting here.

Looks like you have a hub or switch of some sort (the thing on the wall), some routers, various cords (lots of Ethernet), a cable modem and a computer (using it as a server I'm guessing). There are some other things I see but can't really make out what they are due to the angle the pic was taken.
