The rebuilding of the the HT center has taken longer than I wanted, but as of Saturday morning the system was back in place and operational again. Will be finishing up the trim and a few other details this week and then back to other projects. The roll out racks work very well, the temperature control unit is set at 85 degrees and it appears that only having one fan in each rack unit will be adequate. Will post some pictures of it and the rack wiring, at last count I had used over 500 wire ties to secure all of the cabling and needed to order about $350 of new cables which needed to be longer. The average length of a cable that runs from one rack to the other is 20'...........and the width of the cabinet is only 65".

Dennis - that looks great!! Nice work and congratulations on your skills in getting it done.

I finished the major work in my basement room this past weekend. The only things remaining are small finishing items (most notably filling the nail holes for the molding and door frames, sanding/painting same and mounting 2 wall cabinets, along with a few other small things). I rescheduled the carpeting installation from tomorrow to next Monday to allow me to finish the small pieces and give the room a good cleaning.

While it may not be as grand as your project, I'm still excited to be able to FINALLY get my HT rig out of boxes and hooke up again.

Agan, kudos for a job well done my friend!

Now that's what I call a wall of entertainment!

Beautiful finish work (except for the drywall ).

I'm slowly compiling my own pics. As I get closer I'll start posting but I am a little way off yet. I did finish installing my cables, though. Since my current home will not be my last I am not going all out and trying to keep it simple. For example, I think I am ruling out HDMI and DVI and sticking with component video and composite for the future overhead projector. The temporary TV will have S-video and composite.
My main objective is to get my exterior walls insulated and drywalled which should happen this next weekend (unless I have another round of indecision). Sometimes I think I can not plan enough and then frustrate the wife by taking too long .

I still think you should have gotten a Front Projector.

Appreciate the kind comments, I'm happy with the results of the time and money spent on the remodel, not sure I would want to do it again.

The screen is the next HT project, as for the projector........................ that is on hold till the one we want becomes available.
