Proud to announce I have cleaned up my htpc wire clutter by running my infinitv, tuning adaptor, and router off a 12 volt line on my computers power supply with plenty of amps left over. No pics posted but let me assure you its Great!!

I just moved everything to the basement when we got InifniTV ETH. There is nothing but the HTPC, TV and the AVR in the family room now.

I did something similar, I have a 5volt Gigabit switch, my Ceton HD Homerun Prime and some other related device (the MOCA adapter for the rest of the house maybe?). I put USB connectors in place of the wall warts and now power all the TV related network stuff off the main PC. An additional advantage is that if I pull the plug to the PC, everything else powers down as well - full reset. I set this up back when the HD Homerun Prime needed to be reset every so often (not the case anymore) and my hope was that doing a weekly (scheduled) reboot of the PC would also cycle power to the network devices, but it doesn't.
