Just canceled my order- no room for a htpc!

I think i'd want the tap by my seat rather than by my television. I dont want friends getting up and disrupting my view for another beer.

Could I get a robotic beer can launcher instead of the kegerator?  I don't want to get up off the couch to get a beer.  Or maybe I can get a pet monkey trained to pour beer.....

You're probably paying a ridiculous price for the furniture and the sports ticker.  The main TV's too small and there seems to be a lot of wasted space.  Panasonic isn't exactly the company I'd choose for even an average surround system.  For $15K I'm sure I could come up with a pretty setup that includes a better sound system and larger TVs.

I don't want some lard-a$$ standing at the beer tap pouring off a beer, or nuking a burrito during the game!

I can't see 7K for installation when all it basically amounts to is running speaker wires for the surround speakers.  Everything else is wired within the cabinet, which anyone with half a brain should be able to do.  The only extraneuous tasks would be customizing a remote control and calibrating the system, which shouldn't cost you anywhere near that much.

OTOH, I couldn't agree with you more about the cost of labor.  My Dad was old school and learned to do everything DIY and he passed along a lot of his skills to me.  I just completed a major project on my home (2-story colonial with 4- bedrooms) whereby I stripped off evry bit of siding and wood trim from the exterior, repaired areas of dry rot in the wood sheathing and patched holes and installed insulation in the walls where the builder had neglected to install it.  I then applied a 1/2-inch layer of foam insulation over the entire exterior followed by a layer of Tyvek wrap to keep out moisture.  I replaced all of the windows and exterior doors (16 windows, front entry door and 8-ft slider) and replaced the wood trim with Fypon composite trim board (zero maintenance and will never rot) and then reinstalled all of the vinyl siding using new J-channels.  Aside from a few times where my son helped me I did the job entirely on my own.  It took me about 7 or 8 months to complete. 

I spent about $12K for the doors and windows and about another $5-6K in siding, insulation, and trim and a few new tools to help with the job.  Had I hired someone else to do the work I would have easily spent 2-3 times as much as I did, even though the job would have been done much faster.
