CBM-170 and CMT-340 101

OK....now I remember...thanks.

Too bad money doesn't grow on trees. These hobbies are expensive!

I need one of those Money Trees...

I started my new job last week so hopefully I'll be able to complete some of these projects I have (or atleast get them up to a satisfactory level ). Now that I'm back to work I'll be starting my flight lessons again in a few weeks. I also have to gradually set some money aside between now and the fall so I can take a couple classes I'm interested in at a local community college (French I and Spanish II).

I pretty much have my chickens counted before the eggs hatch through the end of August as far as HT is concerned...

1. Another SVS 16-46 PC+ w/Cables (2-3 wks) (I've got $500 saved but I gotta pay rent with next weeks paycheck and start my flightlessons again)
2. LCD based Front Projector w/Cables (End of June? Early July?)
3. Screen (Mid July?)
4. 3 Home Theater Leather Recliners w/Cupholders (End of August?)

Now I have to tack on ordering a pair of 340's to compare with my 170s...

Christ, 4 months from now I'm broke! (But I should have a "finished" HT)

[Eddie Horton]

Nick, don't feel bad. After 1 year and about 7 grand, there's still no end in sight. Now, we're building a new house so I'll need more cash to build the theater room, get an additional pair of 340's, another sub, PJ and screen, and HT furniture. There really is no end in sight. Oh, and 4 more Outlaw M-200's.

I started buying components in November, so I've blown close to $5k over 6 months...

Hopefully I'll have everything to my liking by fall. I'm figuring I'll have about $6k into my audio, $3k into my display, and $2k into my seating.

$11k total ...

Then, hopefully the only thing I'll have to upgrade over the next few years will be an HD-DVD player and a 1080p projector once they're at blue-collar prices. Oh and a new bulb every year or so for the PJ.

Thank god I don't have a purpose-built room for HT...
