Just a little update to this: I was doing some messing around for the last few days with Nvidia drivers and Windows etc, and I somehow lost the HDMI connection between the PC and the receiver. I just got it sorted again, and what I was doing wrong was that, in the Nvidia Control Panel, under...

So I left this for a few days, waiting for some more speakers to arrive, and I finally set it up as 7.1 last night. I was just using the optical connection, through the realtek onboard audio port, to see how it sounded and to setup Audyssey, and just get a general feel for the receiver. Without...

After a bit of searching it seems to look like the interiors of a Garrard turntable! Most likely, as you said, built into a custom cabinet. Maybe the photo was an accidental upload so then, as the colours look similar to the sub..
