So a new client of mine hired me to put together a Home Theater Package which included installation of all components. His budget was $4000.00 which for him is nothing, he's a young stock broker and likes cool toys.
His apartment in NYC, has a sweet little entertainment room - pooltable, bar, fishtanks and a cool little outcove where I installed the Home Theater system....
What I built him:
Thermaltake Tenor Case Silver
425W PCP&C Turbo-Cool PSU
Intel P4 3.4GHz Prescott
MSI 865PE Neo3-V
(1) WD raptor 74 10,000rpm
(1) Seagate 300gig 7200 w/NCQ
1GIG (2x512) G.Skill LA's
ATI All in Wonder X800XT
Remote Wonder 2
SB Audigy 2 ZS
SONY DVD/CD ROM
HP Burner w/Lightscribe
MS Media Center Edition 2005
Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard & Mouse
Logitech z-5500 Speaker System
$2500.00
Viewsonic 32" LCD/TV = $1499.00
So all the parts arrived at my house & I built the system.
The LCD/TV and the speakers were delieverd to his apartment. Yesterday my brother and I went over to set it all up. This guy bought a sweet (all glass tv stand) so we went to work and hooked it all up. Very tough job, trying to neatly hide all wires and make it a nice professional installation. But, alas, it was completed. We fired up the HTPC and I walked him through all of the features. There are so many things you can do with that thing.
I actually installed DOOM 3 Resurrection on it and it was awesome to play a bit of it on the 32". The res. was great.
After about an hour of going through all of it's features, he was very impressed. He wanted to put in a movie and check it out so we through in the remastered THX Return of the Jedi. WOW!!! This system kicks ass... If I had $4000.00 I would build myself one.
Not to mention that he paid me a very nice bonus for my excellent choice in all hardware bought and installed. He's having a party next weekend and he's sure that i'll be having a few more orders once his friends see his... This guy makes me sick!!!
