New theater WIP

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
What will be installed:
Marantz 6005 receiver, HTPC custom Win7 Embedded with custom media center, Tripplite Smart1500LCD Power Conditioner, PS3, Sony Blu-Ray Player, Digital Cable box, Logitech Harmony 1000 RF Remote, Optima HD20 Projector, ScreenGoo Screen. Equipment is installed in a Middle Atlantic BRK20 with a smoked door. My speakers are Acoustic Research HiRes AR1 mains, AR2C Center, AR15 Surrounds, and AR17 Rear Surrounds.

The cable installed in the drop ceiling is Monster CL2 stuff I had from a previous project.

Some of these things I skimped on, such as the HD20 and ScreenGoo, but wife aggro and budget controls some of these things until she is entirely hooked, at which time I will sell her car and buy a Christie. (kidding, sort of)

Yes, I know, there is twisty ties holding my keystone panel in. The rack screws hadn't shown up yet.. The power cable on the far left is to the projector, so it can get power from the power conditioner as well. I may still plumb new power to the front mains so they can get clean conditioned power also, but I didn't think of it when I originally was planning. Oops.

I made a light to go in the back of the cabinet, so I didn't have to hold a flashlight in my teeth while working on things.

Then build a case for the bulb out of PVC and a project box for the ballast.
