Home theater in a pool
You've heard of home theater in a box. Now try home theater in a pool.
Apparently, these Wisconsin home owners weren't big swimmers--or perhaps even anti-exercise--and decided to drain their indoor pool and convert it into something more couch-potato friendly. The folks over at Electronic House magazine put the little showcase together, and it has to be one of the more unique looking theaters we've seen. Personally, instead of the expensive leather couch, I'd have gone for putting three of four giant beanbags at the deep end, so you could literally dive into your seat.
No swimming allowed.

Well, I guess pumping all that money into the seating arrangement left them with very little to do as far as screen size goes.
I'm sure the people sitting 20 feet back will appreciate the small screen (<-- sarcasm).
