As a matter of fact, most of the computer is already built, I just wanted to get hypothetical opinions about some of the future upgrades to this machine as well, so I just included my ideal final-product PC.For example, parts that I need now are to switch out my bulky and beautiful, but inefficient and spacious FW900 with a 27" LCD. Other parts I would like to have is to switch out my X-Fi XtremeMusic with the HT Omega eClaro soundcard, eventually get a Blu-Ray burner (not really necessary at the moment, I've got 380GB's worth of digital entertainment that needs to be watched), 5.1 speakers (not even sure if it's completely worth doing in a room of that size), a new mouse, and a Universal Remote control. And, well, the house too.Speaking of the house, I've decided instead of a pre-fab design to custom-build my own based off of that and to give it a much more spacious loft. One that will allow me to install a mirror on the ceiling in the sleeping area, aaaawww yeah, intimate reflections! Hopefully allowing more space for solar panels to line the rooftop as well, and to allow for some extra windows for greater passive solar lighting during the daytime, with curtains for privacy when we want it.Speaking of the house and the HTPC, been trying to figure out this controlling the PC easily from the couch scenario. Doing a bit of furniture shopping, I stumbled upon these two lovely seating arrangements for the living room/HTPC area.But still, I haven't completely ruled out the possibility of going this route with the arms in between, which I can see how it would assist me in being able to control the PC from the comforts of my chair using a conveniently placed keyboard and mouse stabilizers.What I might do, since I'm going to have a universal remote control anyways, is use the armchair model for the social area, where the 360 will be as well, but also install a 2nd 27" monitor in the loft area, giving me my cuddle-area for when I want to have the lady(ies) over, while allowing for a comfortable non-space-violating game-time area downstairs for when the guy friends are over.One thing's for sure, I doubt that satisfying my juice-requirement needs will be sustained with solar panels alone. I do believe that I could use solar panels to comfortably power the rest of my electronics, and I could make it a hybrid system that could run off of your standard household extension cord as well.I also plan on having a security system set up, and I plan on having that activated and recording 24/7. In a tiny home scenario such as this one, like hell if you think I'm going to allow myself to go unprotected with so much money going into this project. Anyone who wants to mess with me will have another thing coming to 'em. Bullets in the face, specifically.
