Hide it!!! I want as little visible or showing as possible in my den. Ideally, you could see nothing but the TV and maybe an optical drive for CD/DVD/BR, a USB plug for media on sticks, and a card reader for media on cards.
Orbiter
I've got a woefully underpowered Asus Tansformer TF301T that I use as a sort of Orbiter to control my ChromeCast. But a nice 7" tablet with qOrbiter on a stand on my end table would be the end goal.
TV
I'd like the TV mounted on the wall. Art would display on the TV when not in use.
Amp/Receiver
I want surround sound, but I don't want a cabinet full of amps or a receiver that can do 1,000 things but 999 are useless due to LinuxMCE!
What I WANT is a decent DAC (in the MD or external) and a Class D amp that will power all of my speakers. Maybe I'll have a powered sub, maybe not.
Unfortunately, the best I can find are small 2-channel Class D amps that are the size of a pack of playing cards. To make that work I'll need 3 packs. While that's not big, it's bigger than it needs to be due to the redundant power circuits, power plugs, and cases. *le sigh*
