I don't know how to set up a poll, and it's too late tonight for me too look it up.
In reply to:
...you might want to start calculating how much cables and speaker wire will cost if you have new, longer runs. As important - can you hide the stuff?
Idea A is indeed going to cost more. The rack alone is more expensive, and I'll need to hire someone to run all the speaker wire and video cables in the wall or ceiling from the back of the room to the front. But I like the idea of having a nice clean look in the front of the room, just the speakers and TV. Plus it provides much more room and options for a TV up front when the time comes for that.
If I do indeed go with option A, what do I do about a digital video cable run? Since I do not know what kind I'll need, would it be cheaper to run both a DVI and HDMI cable now, or is there some way to setup the in-wall/ceiling runs so that I can add another cable later without having to tear up the walls/ceiling again?
