I did our home lighting, using Insteon w. a few random x10s still around, using Indigo on a Mini, which is connected to our home ent. system. Hacking is at another level when you need to make sure you don't electrocute yourself or burn the house down!
The best hack, imo, is a simple one - running a HD projector and 72" screen. It's only for movies and sporting events, b/c it's too weird to watch anything non-cinematic on a big screen.
Finally, it's not a hack, but i'll throw in a plug for the Logitech Harmony remote - it's the best we've found for set up and control of our HT system. I can't really comment on it directly, though, because my wife is in charge of setting it up;)
