I was wondering about a design idea I had.
Building a Good looking equipment rack in the back center of my home theater. It would be framed in 2 by 4's and sheetrocked. It would be like a U shape with the bottom of the U pointing towards the screen. At the top I would set my projector and below it on separate shelves, place my equipment facing the left side of the u shape. The right of the U, I would leave an access door to get at the backs of the equipment.
Thinking of the savings and ease.
1. No projector mount needed. Saving $100-150 dollars
2. Cost savings in wirings, by buying the shorter connection cables.
3. Ease in accessing the backs of equipment.
Anyone think of any design negatives for this Idea? Its still in idea phase right now. I thought of it because I see alot of theaters that you are staring at the blinking lights, having to buy $150 mounts, long wire runs, not easily accessible components, etc....
Any thoughts or caveats?
