For the Kotuku fan, beside nice design and low power consumption, any other benefits to justify the higher price? Need to convince CFO for the purchase. Thanks.

Suspended from the top cabinet, which uses hydraulic struts, just like a hatchback:

Feature wall, shown with lighting at the bottom, which allows the back of the console to be illuminated.

My hubby and I also like the Kotoku fan as well - we love it at the first sight but due to budget constraint and worry about the HDB ceiling issue - we have to give it up..love the fan :D

15m HDMI cable from LHS in Sim Lim Tower - for long length HDMI cables, you will need a quality cable, High Speed rated. This is DIRT Cheap at $170. My Audioquest 3m HDMI cable (Blu Ray player to Amp) already costs more...

Lighting under the console, to allow you to see the back of the console:

How do you mount the Monitor Audio speakers to the brackets? Do you drill holes on the speakers? I intend to mount two small surround speakers to the false ceiling but not sure how to do it.

Make sure you labelled all your banana plugs - especially if you have 11 speakers!

I added sliders to the bottom of my console, allowing it to slide, and I pulled it out, then installed the cables, before pushing it back to be flush against the feature wall.

Silent continuous movement clock (no ticking) with temperature and humidity indicator:
