The 2009 Engadget Awards: Nominate the Home Entertainment Device of the Year

It's time for the 2009 Engadget Awards, and we're asking for your nominations for the Home Entertainment Device of the Year.

Nominating is easy, simply leave a comment with what you're nominating for this category. We'll round up the best selections and put them to the popular vote.

Here's five simple rules of what NOT to do:

• Don't include your reasons for nominating it.
  You can debate the product later when we put it up to vote. Just leave the name of what you want to nominate, ok?
• Don't nominate anything that wasn't sold for the first time in 2009.
  We will allow updated versions of previous devices, however.
• No concept devices or prototypes.
  It has to be a real gadget people can buy! Pre-orders don't count.
• Don't nominate anything more than once.
  It's not a popularity contest (yet), all it does is make our lives harder. Just do a quick find to see if someone's already beat you to it.
• Seriously, don't nominate anything that's already been nominated!

Thanks, and good luck to all the gadgets!

Windows Home Server.

I know it's just software, but take your pick of commercial servers - either the HP MediaSmart, the Asus TS, or the Lenovo one (forget the name). Or, you could get the OEM copy and roll your own server (I went this route and can vouch for the sweetness). Mix that with an HTPC, and that is by far the most entertaining device of the year.
