First, check out this awesome Hawaiian beach house. It’s pretty freakin’ awesome just from the outside, but wait until you step inside.

This house has a home theater that puts the BAD in badass. The theater is a Star Wars tribute and it makes me feel totally inadequate about my home theater. It looks like the inside of a space ship and has all kinds of little touches.

The theater room measures 20 x 14. The thing has talking life size C-3PO and R2-D2 robots and a motorized pocket door. All of the hardware is hidden and it uses a Runco DLP projector and a 107-inch anamorphic screen that is curved. The speakers are hidden behind the walls and one button will turn the inputs and systems on for movie night.

The theater also reminds me more than a little of a TRON home theater and I see some Star Trek in there too. I can only imagine how cool it would be to watch Star Wars sitting in this blue-lit room of awesomeness. A tip of the hat to Mr. Coolest Home Theater in History owner.

Now, Geneva is back with an all-in-one home theater sound system that’s sure to look great in any high-end living space.

The GenevaSound Home Theater is a high output home theater sound system, built completely into a single piece of furniture. The system cranks out tons of volume thanks to a 7 channel, 700-watt digital amplifier and 7 speakers, including a booming 12-inch subwoofer. It’s available in a hand-lacquered black finish and also a glossy white version for those of you who manage to come up with one of those elusive white LCD or Plasma TVs.

Simply place your flat-panel TV on top of the cabinet and connect your video and audio sources. There’s plenty of room inside the cabinet for your satellite or cable receiver, video game console and disc players. And like Geneva’s previous sound systems, there’s a convenient iPod/iPhone dock built into the top of the cabinet. There’s also a slot loading CD player and an FM radio along if you care to kick it in old school.

While the GenevaSound is only a 2.1 system, it does offer acoustically-enhanced surround sound using something Geneva calls their EmbracingSound digital sound processor.

Priced at $3,999 (USD), including White Glove delivery and setup, the system isn’t for those on a tight budget, but if you’re looking for a serious piece of media furniture for your living room, you should definitely check it out.
