Run sound/video out to the patio for music in the pool/while bar-b-queing.
I had some old Optimus speakers that are built like tanks for outdoor use. Ran some speaker wire and picked up a 20$ amp/receiver off craigslist with a remote. Used one of those "remote extenders" and an IRMAN so I can use the al cheapo remote to control my media center. It'd be WAY better if I had a touchscreen on the patio, but that's down the line....

In that case the question I have for you is why haven't you done it yet? I did something like that for my mother in law when I mounted her 32 inch LCD in her bedroom and ran the cables a few feet though the wall into her closet. The whole thing cost less than $75.00 for the cables and the cheap IR repeater that they sell at radio shack, and it took me less than two hours total to do. This also included mounting the TV to the wall and installing additional shelving in her closet for the components.

You should go for something like this:

Patrickl, That is just wrong... On so many levels... I hope that isn't your setup... evil.
