On a side note... the noise from the actually HTPC could be a problem (a low grade PC for example)... even our good friend bladerunner has noticed a "buzz" factor on his motherboard... this could be a second option to may have to incorporate into your building work.
If you are going the "full hog" with room proportions you might as well find a way to get rid of the ambiant sound... LED lights that don't buzz as another factor etc. etc.
Sorry to be a nag, I only mention it because I spent the last day carpeting the inside of my computer to get a better night's sleep.
