Home Theater Build

Re: Home Theater Build

I still wouldn't even put it on the floor under the equipment. No matter what you are going to cause the rack to vibrate and long term effects so your equipment will be harsh. The air caught in that small space will vibrate the whole rack. Depending on how loud you have it you are going to have skipping disks at the very least, then on up to lasers out of alignment. The worst that will likely happen over time is failure of the LCD in the receiver and failure of solder joints.

I am planning on cutting out a spot for it but need to choose the sub first before i cut.

Re: Home Theater Build

really?
you stuff is going to vibrate and do other not nice things if it will be sitting in the rack. Can you take out the bottom shelf and just have the sub sit on the floor?

The short term noise vibrations are going to become so irritating, and i dont know what the long term effect of vibrating all of your components at such a low frequency is going to do to them.

Re: Home Theater Build

Sub is going in the bottom of the rack.

Re: Home Theater Build

shelves need some black one the leading edge, they look out of place otherwise.
Whats going on the bottom shelf?

Re: Home Theater Build

Well put the shelves in the Rack and tightened and leveled it. Big mistake on the leveling as of course the walls are no where near level.



Put some of the gear in to see how the spacing looks.


From the seating position. Debating on whether or not i should put a black venier on the edge of the shelves or go with a similar hickory finish as the top of the shelves. Opinions?


Then the next pain will be whether or not to center the screen to the area above the pony wall or below (seating area).

Re: Home Theater Build

i may just take you up on that hahaha.

I'm wondering how long its going to take, so that I can sort out the timing of actually moving all my stuff in.
Makes no sense to move it in if its just going to get dusty as hell.

Re: Home Theater Build

I have been using a HTPC now for 3 years. Haven't had a desk since and love using my pc from the couch.

As I have EVERYTHING throught the computer, nothing external at all, I use the program "Air Mouse Pro" with my iPhone. It's a keyboard/mouse solution/remote for your computer. LOVE it. Also uses the accelerometer to move the mouse too, similar to the gyration device shown earlier.

Nice build keep updating with pics.

I've been using the same one for a while now. The recent updates to it make it much better to use with Media center. A traditional remote still works better though.

Re: Home Theater Build

I just got an email, take possession of my place on the 14th....so my build project starts then.

Make it bigger rather then smaller, run a vacuum tube for any late additions and be ready to repaint the wall.... oh and don't forget about all the dust.
