Ben and Rik did a bit of brain storming and we came up with the following list of stuff that we think is cool. We're not saying that you should buy it for us necessily ... but if you're ever stuck for birthday ideas for your favorite boys, then take our advice and buy something from this list.
An alternative - and this might sound a bit mercenary - send us an Amazon Gift Certificate. And we can decide what to buy...

We have a nice spot about the fireplace in the lounge where a 60" TV could go. There's a new Pioneer Kudo out that gets very good reviews. Supports streaming media from the PC too, not sure if it uses UPnP media client or something custom. Only thing that's putting me off is the $6500 price tag, but maybe they'll retail for a couple grand less by the time I get around to buying one.
