The Westy is connected to the mini via DVI at a native resolution of 1920x1080--no overscan whatsoever. The picture is terrific, 1080p content is breathtaking. The wall mount is pretty flush, just a couple inches, and strong as it was set into brick. The mini is connected to the receiver via mini TOSLINK. The hard drives are quiet. The remote works well through that tinted glass. The PowerMate provides fast, intuitive scrubbing through CoverFlow (1381 albums) and videos (both QuickTime and VLC). The iSight clings magnetically to the back of the display when not in use--when a call comes in we just move it to the top of the display where it also attaches magnetically. It's microphone still works well back there--voice calls and room recordings sound good. The receiver's tape-out runs back into the mini so we can rip vinyl. The 1200 uses a Stanton Discmaster.

Very cool set up. I am just buying this monitor (can't beat $550 shipped) to bring into my existing Mac Mini based HTPC setup. Your setup is perfect :) I must ask, how did you setup the iSight to be magnetically mounted to the back? I was thinking of removing the one we have from our old g4 iMac and attaching it to this in a similar fashion, but I didn't notice any magnet mounting equipment, just a plastic bracket... any help on this?

The top of the monitor happens to have metal beneath the plastic housing. The plastic is thin enough that the standard Apple magnetic mount for the original iSight will cling to the metal through it. This is true all the way across the display actually, I can position the camera anywhere along its width.

This is such a pretty room. I love the finish on the floor and the brick wall gives a very interesting look to it. Don't the speakers sound harsh though? Regardless, that's a nice setup.

you need to spread your speakers apart and toe them towards the listener
