    The desk is from Target. It was on sale for $130 and it's part of a line by designer Sami Hayek who I guess is Selma Hayek's brother or something like that. There's a bunch of good stuff but the desk takes the cake as my favorite.

    Would you be able to post some pics of your cable management? It looks so clean. I saw that desk at Target and almost bought it, but now after seeing yours I might HAVE to buy it if it really stays as clean as it looks there.

    How does the hole in the top of the desk work, etc..

    Oh, yeah the cable management on the desk is simple, but effective. I actually didn't even notice the cable management til I brought the desk home and was pleasantly surprised. I'd take some pictures of it but I really don't want to pull it out from the wall, but there is a section in the back of the desk that acts as a tray for cables, and in my case a surge protector. There are two circular holes at both ends of the tray for cables to enter from the bottom and then if needed can be fed through the hole in the middle of the desk. The hole in the middle is covered by that plastic piece that bunches the cables together and gives you the clean look. Hope that helps...maybe one of these days I'll pull the desk out if I need to route some more cables.

    So Im guessing he has two sets of Z2300's because I dont think the sell with 4 satellite speakers.


    But Im wondering how was the satellites hooked up to the subwoofer? From what I have seen, you can only attach two satellites to the subwoofer.

    I ghave the same speakers and yes you can only hook up one set top the sub. I'm guessing a splitter cable perhaps?

    This might not be the right forum, so a mod can move my post but could someone draw out a setup for me?? :D :D

    The only reason for this request is that I completely SUCK at drawing. I dont care if its made on the computer or by hand and then scanned on but I would just like to know if anyone could?? You can PM me about what goes into the picture..
