TV Tivo is always first on my list. Then I can just watch my saved TV shows while I clean/unplack/whatever.

I don't think its a real clock. It looks like a old school fan on a neat surface.

Thanks for the comments! Here's some extra/updated info, @cantilevered floor - I've come to my senses and pulled that in quite a bit. In that drawing I have it extending ...

That's surprisingly not a bad list. The only change I'd make is to ditch the ATI All in Wonder card and go with separate TV/Video cards. For about the same price you could get a nice, $100, mid-r...

^^^ Good advice. I just hung mine over the weekend and it went very smoothly. Remember: ALWAYS PRE-DRILL YOUR HOLES!

I'm not really sure where all the "fake" hate comes from on this site. If it looks good it doesn't matter what its made of. I say if you like it, pursue it like you would any other wa...

Its *very* important to note that if you live in an multi-unit apartment/condo, chances are anyone with a QAM tuner in their TV will also be able to see your desktop.

Eh, i'm not a fan of macs *that* old, but I do have one of the old, colored, iMac shells that I plan putting a fish bowl in someday :)

I think you can tie it together with the right paint color. I just painted my bathroom, which is a weird mix of black, white, wood, and stainless, a nice blue (Behr "Magic Spell") and it looks fan...

Just because it seems slightly relevant, up in Madison, Wisconsin there's this crazy guy who runs a mortuary and in the basement he has a, for lack of a better description, "Dead Squirrel Museum" f...

I've been using walk-in closets for offices in my last few apartments and I think its a really great way to maximize space, especially when you're a guy who doesn't need that much closet space.

So, I used the terms from that PDF to do some more googling and apparently the magic word is "Spiral Duct". Googling that gave me everything I needed to know.

Wow, put the pitch forks away , I meant decorative as "looks good enough to be in plain sight" (i.e *not* PVC wrapped in duct tape :-p), I never said I wasn't going to be using them.

According to gizmodo they have a special tool for pulling out the socket that lets it work in the US.

I love your paint! Could you post the brand/colors?

Of all the places I've liked so far I think this one best exemplifies what I love most about this contest: small place, small budget, great design.

I love the color coordinated book shelf, screw the alphabet :)

That pirate ship is awesome, where did you get it?

I'm with darcidoodle. Concept = Hot, these photos = Not. My new condo has some giant walls so I'm actually considering going with something like this. I found one I liked at Ikea ove...

I voted super cool, but I think he's got an unfair advantage because that condo is so *awesome* (IMHO) that he could have just had folding chairs and a card table and I would have loved it.
