My HTPC setup

Samsung 55H7005. Ikea Ledare LED lights behind the TV.

Dynavoice Challenger M-65 EX stereo speakers. They were well reviewed, but most importantly they matched the Ikea Expedit shelf I use as a media unit in size and color (kind of). Amp is hidden in one of the cabinets.

The actual HTPC is an AMD A5700-based system for light gaming (Bastion, Transistor, Deadlight etc). SSD for Win8 and programs, 3 TB & 4 TB WD Greens for media. Running out of space now (too many Linux distros on BluRay). But with Storage Spaces it's easy to add more disks as they are needed.

I have a PSU fan and a fan in the back of the case (both 120mm) on their lowest settings and I could still go lower as far as heat is concerned. The case fan is positioned right behind the CPU heatsink.

Software: XBMC (Gotham) with Eminence. Soon upgrading to Kodi.

Controlled by a wireless Xbox 360 controller. Also have a noname wireless keyboard for searching Spotify, Youtube, etc.

Best pizza I've ever made (by far) and among the best I've eaten. Need to practice stretching the dough, though (heh). While the crust looks perfect in the pictures it was... wrong, somehow. Another pizza made after this one turned out much better.

Decided I wanted to make my own mozzarella for my birthday.

Another mapo tofu. This time based on Real Deal Mapo Dofu from Serious Eats. Used veg substitute for the ground beef/chicken stock and more stock instead of the wine.
