While cleaning up around the house and helping to prepare for Christmas and the relatives, I noticed a few things that might help sell the next upgrade to the spouse.

Honey, did you know that....

You can plug the vacuum into that handy outlet on the front of the Panamax or Monster surge protector, and it will protect the vacuum from surges!

The DTS-EX 7.1 surround sound processor - progressive scan DVD player can be used to play Christmas Music too.

Spiking the subwoofer will give you enough room to vacuum under the edge of the subwoofer.

A new component cabinet will help to cut down on the dusting problem.

A new set of drapes would cut down on the glare that could cause fading to carpet and furniture.

You can probably guess that these upgrades could possibly have another use, but that will be our secret.
