What this is
XBMC will again have a booth at the Southern CAlifornia Linux Expo (SCALE - https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale12x ) this year in late February. We show off XBMC and talk to tons of people about all the different things XBMC can do, answer questions, preview new features, and more. One of the things I would love to show off is more user setups.
We have an 8' x 10' booth with an 8' tall wall (so the back wall is 10 x 8 feet) with a black drape. Except for a sign that says "XBMC", there isn't much we have on this wall, so I'd love to put up pictures of people's setups on there, or perhaps in a photo binder on a table, etc.
What is needed
I'll try to get some of this from the existing threads, but if these points could be summarized here, that would help me out a lot. It also helps to get your "best of the best" photo, since some of your setups have a lot of photos to choose from. Even if you don't have a showcase thread here, or if you don't think there's much to show about your setup, we'd still love to just show various examples of how people use XBMC.
Feel free to ask any questions, give suggestions, and answer the above bullet points, in this thread.

What is needed
- Choose one main photo of your setup that you really like and gives a good over-all view of what is involved. Mention the URL for that picture.
- Choose 3 or 4 additional photos that you would like to include, if we have space to show them (depending on how this is all laid out).
- Give us details of your setup, like OS, skin, TV/audio equipment used, HTPC specs, special notes about lighting, etc. The more details the better.
- Mention a link, such as a showcase thread here, for people who would like to get more info on your setup. We'll probably encode the URL as a QR code so that people can easily record with their phone where to look this info up.
- Your name/handle so we can give you credit. Optionally, tell us where you are in the world.
- If you happen to have a video of your setup, mention that URL as well. I'm thinking of having something like a laptop on a loop showing off XBMC setups and skins (maybe), so if there's enough videos, that might be an option.
