What inspired you?
Basically I am enjoying living in the current evolution of technology. Movies like tron, Starwars, and the Startrek series gave inspiration to what may be possible in the distant future, then of course my first computer a tandy 64,thats radio shacks version of the beloved commodore 64 ha ha!!
Naturally with time I came to love the simplicity and ease of use of Mac computers and its progressed into being incorporated as part of my home theatre and a/v set up. With iphoto I store and display photos, garageband has helped me evolve as a musician, & I archive my dvd library onto a couple of lacie firewire harddrives to watch movies on the 50" samsung dlp and run sound through my sony reciever. All running through my intel mac mini!!
Great Tip:
Make purchases that you think will evolve with your space. I wont always be
living in this 528 sq foot apartment!!! I hope?

I know the contest isn't about this, but....YAY FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHICS! Glad to see another person has a collection of the golden beauty of periodicals.
oh, I have the same Donkey Kong Game, never thought of putting it near the other electronics though...nifty.
Great setup! A few minor acoustics critiques:
1. The center channel is mounted too low. It appears to be firing directly at a chest. Ideally, it would be at a similar height to the front speakers (nearly impossible with anything other than front projection setup, but might be better on top of the TV, given the height of the left and right speakers), which leads me to...
2. The left front speaker appears to be in a corner. This leads to boundary reinforcement and may help excite standing waves, although the speakers appear to be small enough that the latter may not be an issue. The right speaker is not near a corner, which leads me to...
3. The left "wall" is a window, which is quite reflective. The right wall contains multiple diffusive elements. The speakers consequently may present different acoustic information, which may adversely affect imaging.
