An awesome site cataloging Mac media products. If I ever get the Mac Mini hooked up to my home theater, some of this is definitely going in.

Would be really great to know the power consumption over time for each wall outlet in your house! Eventually someone will come out with replacement wall outlets that monitor usage and report back to central tracker via wireless or over the power line itself.

However it will be many years before this is viable for homeowners to actually help reducing their electrical footprint. I suspect device manufacturers will drive electrical usage reduction more than homeowners directly.

What product am I excited about this year? My Tivo Series 3? My new BlueRay player? No. It's a tiny little cooling fan from Middle Atlantic. When I first had equipment installed in my living room, we had it all nicely hidden away in a built-in cabinet. DVR's (e.g. Tivo), Satellite receivers, and DVD players can all generate a significant amount of heat. When placed in an enclosed cabinet they are unable to stay cool enough to prevent the heat from damaging the components.

After frying a couple of pieces of equipment, we had Home Technologies install the CAB-COOL fan in the side of the cabinet. What I love about it is that it has an integrated thermostat that lets it spin slower and keep the fan noise to a minimum. Installation is simple and self-contained and our equipment now stays nice and cool.
