Not been as regular here on AOS as I'd like, elsewhere due to work commitments n stuff, so glad to have some time over the holidays to catch up.
Been upgrading the system recently and thought I'd use this thread to update the system pics I've posted elsewhere.
Enjoyed my Oppo upgrade thread, so wanted to start something similar here, as there's a few things in the pipeline.
As I said, a few things coming up so here's the system before I started (what I hope to be) the final pieces of the puzzle and I can call the system done.
(No really... ACTUALLY finished. )
Think this was the state of the system last time I did a gallery thread:

-----------------------------------------
Some things have changed since then, but there's more to follow so took it back a bit so I could use that as a baseline
Updates soon.
