MTV Teen Cribs aside, this guy's house is really, really sweet. Ridiculously over-the-top, but sweet. There's a whole site dedicated to the house at http://www.scottajones.com/index.php?q=residence .

How can he afford all this? Scott Jones is better known as the inventor of voicemail. (!) His company built one of the earliest voicemail systems (1986) and he holds a bunch of patents related to it. So he can afford an extravagant house, especially since it's in Indiana.

For example: His master bathroom has a "waterfall shower" that streams 300 gallon per minute. Normal home showers are restricted to 2.5 GPM. But "because this is a high-tech home, not an ounce of water is wasted. It is sanitized by an ultraviolet-light disinfecting system, stored in a holding tank in the basement and then recycled."

That slide is bad-ass.

And somehow I suspect the house is no longer connected to the 'net by just a single "T1 line, which allows connection to the Internet at lightning speed."
