Here's my setup!
Equipment/storage room
This is where my server and HTPC live, along with all source equipment and the AVR.

Other equipment:

Living room
No cables visible!
And finally, some connectors to allow hooking up my Wii to the AVR in the equipment room:
The HDMI and S-Video connectors go directly to the TV, the composite connectors run to the AVR in the equipment room.
All the equipment is controllable from the living room using the Harmony One via an IR extender and also by any PC on my LAN using my own software: http://rc.hot.is/
I've got a "HTPC" in my kitchen as well, but since it's almost only used as a SageTV client for watching live TV, I thought I'd skip taking pictures of it. Also have a SageTV HD-300 client in the master bedroom.
