Your president's birthday present...
EHM-0654 Murray:
Can't remember how public I've been about my birthday present from my parents to mark my 40th year within the planet's gravity well, but it's been on order since February. Well, it finally arrived on Wednesday and took me an hour to unpack from it's shipping container. Spent last night partially configuring it and will be getting it fully working tonight with the assistance of one of the guys that builds them.
Lots of photo's to come and, if I can make my camera work to record it, a video on YouTube later tonight. You're all going to be quite jealous, I'd wager, but you're only 40 once in a lifetime... No hints or spoilers yet though (my camera's at home with all the photo's for a start ;) ) other than to say it cost the best part of €3000 and it looks and feels stunning.

My guess is it's dual seat panels for 737 - not everything, but I reckon the main panel shells plus some bits to go in it, with integrated backlighting.
Shotgun! (assuming I'm close)
EHM-0654 Murray:
Wrong, but I like your thinking. Here are the first six photos, almost up to the "unbagging". Once I have it fully working, more pictures and the promised video will also be added.

The proud "father"... and yes, the box is massive, but didn't weigh very much.
Details
Unboxing part 1. Hmmm... lots of polystyrene it would seem.
Details
Two layers of polystyrene in, a first view of something not polystyrene... Intriguing, isn't it.
Details
Another layer of polystyrene later, I came across three USB cables and two wall warts.
Details
Having removed the cables/wall warts, and more lumps of polystyrene, the item in its plastic wrapping (still entombed in much polystyrene)
Details
Finally, out of box and polystyrene, and you get some idea yet?
(and if you care, I ended up with four large black bin bags full of polystyrene and a chopped up cardboard box)

Well it's not an authentic T-Rex skeleton as I first thought...
