You can also get cheap projector mounts from monoprice.com

Why wait around for the TV stations to get their head out of their arse when you can just hit up bit torrent sites?

You'd have to be a fool not to get an original Zune when they are blowing them out at places like woot.com for $90! 30 GB, color screen and updates to basically make it a second gen Zune. Why pay more for an iPod??!?!?! And anyone serious about sound wouldn't stick their mp3 player in one of those docking stations, they'd hook up to their stereo using line level inputs....(if they consider mp3 "hi-fi" enough).

Darwinism at its best!

I wouldn't call this a media server. Just a new fangled carousel.

$3500 buys plenty of hard drives!

Yea, the whole reason compact fluorescent bulbs are more efficient is because they don't waste so much electricity as heat. So I think you'd be fine with something like a 2 or 3 watt compact fluorescent (which is similar to a 40 or 60 watt incandescent).

It's ok because he buys credits to offset his energy usage!!!!
Right?!!??
How lame......

If it were me (I'm not sure how large the couch is) I'd have the couch perpedicular the the fireplace, floating in the middle of the room, facing the 9ft4 wall. Put the TV on or against that wall and put the chairs facing the fireplace. That way you keep the left side with all the doors free for traffic. Then use the space behind the couch with the angled walls for something else, maybe more conversational type seating or reading nook or office or something. Of course this all depends on the size of your furniture.....

I think patrick has it spot on, if that's the way you decide to go. One problem might be the lower perpendicular support that runs around the legs. It may end up too close to the floor depending on how much you lop off.....
My votes for dumping them and getting new chairs.
