Show Your HTPC (Pics Only)

Thread Starter 
**PLEASE POST PICTURES ONLY**

Official HTPC Picture Thread


HTPC's are becoming more common with the innovation in technology lately and how mainstream flat panel TV's have become.

We don't have an HTPC build log, and I know more and more people are building them; so let's show off your hard work!

Rules
1) You must post a picture with your post.
2) Post your pictures and your system specs (including accessories).
3) Tell us what software your using and how you use it (OS, user interface, any other software)
4) Tell us why you love your HTPC! (optional )

We will have a separate thread for discussion!

Enjoy!
