I lived at Mitchelton for a few years and then moved to Wavell heights.
Wollongong is very nice I believe..

Home Theatre....The never ending story!

ah how true is your signature!

no where near happy with the system, looking at a 1080p projector, making new speaker stands and on and on the list goes.

Ah!.. but how wonderful is it when you get to open a new "present" with an upgrade!!

I've had 3 "presents" in the last few months..
A new projector..a Blu-ray player.. and a new HD set top box..

well a change in living arrangements have impacted on my "present to self" fund, and other issue is having too many hobbies with which to spread funds accross, maybe i should just stick to 1 at a time haha won't happen, when you enjoy electronics, car audio, home theatre, 2ch hifi and photography each one of those u could spend infinate amounts of money alone and still never be completely satissified, searching for the pot at the end of the rainbow which will never be reached

**robbo266317** · **08-05-09, 02:50 AM**
