If you simply can't be without your TV even for a minute, take it with you out by the pool with the Outdoor Entertainment Island. Stocked with a JVC 42-inch plasma display that rises from within the island a la Jay Leno, it's got a quartet of six-inch surround sound speakers with built-in sub and a DVD/CD player, and it even has Sirius satellite radio compatibility tucked inside.

Built for the great outdoors using "marine technology," it looks like the thing can even withstand a snowstorm, where you just hose it down to clean it up. Save up your money, though, it's nearly $17K.
