While we've seen a
variety of
domiciles packed to the hilt with consumer electronic-related
goodness, the big boys and girls most certainly come out of the woodwork (or the downstairs home theater) when Electronic House begins accepting applications for its Home of the Year. The award goes to the home that most perfectly displays "a mix of electronics and design," and while we're fairly sure the 300 or so entries they received could all be worthy of gracing the pedestal, only three were picked to take top honors. Clearly, money was of little or no concern in the construction of these fine dwellings, but rest assured, the thousands upon thousands that went into objects of desire such as
Runco plasmas / projectors,
Crestron home automation systems, Lexicon amplifiers,
Denon receivers, and the host of other LCD HDTVs, lighting systems, and in-ceiling speakers weren't used carelessly. Each of the top three homes sports a distinct angle and motif not directly shared by the other victors, and while we personally wouldn't mind visiting any of the three, be sure to hit the read link for the breakdown of how each crib won its medal, and click on through for a few more shots.

I want more money.
I have a computer in my house that surfs the internets...I hate these people.
Some people have too much money for their own good.
An SDTV stuck in a cherry cabinet? I'm impressed.
SDTV? Since when is a "Fujitsu plasma screen" considered SDTV?
Clearly you either can't read or are too lazy too.
That photo looks like something out of Myst.
oh wow that was the exact first thing i thought....that underwater creepy ballroom with the bubbles
I'm looking for the grill puzzle behind the fireplace. Myst: My first thought, exactly!
My momma always said a man only needs so much money, the rest is just for showing off.
I'd like to be able to show off then!
How does Bill Gates NOT win this thing every year? Isn't he trying?
If that is the best people can do with unlimited funds, I feel sorry for them.
And what does YOUR house look like, Morpheus?
Not saying these look tasteful or that it's what I would do with the same available money, but I love the haters who come out on every. single. topic. here.
People that use phrases like "McMansion" are usually typing their manifestos in their elderly mother's basement or from the confines of their 400 square foot junior one bedroom apartment.
Morpheus, go get your clothes out of the dryer. Your neighbor is waiting!
Douche.
That rack-o-Lexicon makes my pants tight.
I agree about your comments about the winner. The silver award winner house has much more character. Then again I am a bit biased. My parents own it. I love hanging out there, loads of fun. The theater blows the socks off of any movie theater I have ever been in.
