Hey every one.
I'm nearly set to start my living room revamp. I have one question though. What do you guys use to hide wires?
I have a lot and I mean A LOT of wires and cables in the front of my living room. To illustrate.
This is the list:
Power
Wall mountable Media Center PC (built in screen)
Wireless Router
DSTV
Samsung TV
DVD Player
Powersuply for CCTV camera
MVIX (Almost obsulute in my setup seeing as I'm going with DLNA)
(to be added)
Marantz Tuner
Yamaha amp
Other cables:
Network cable from TV to router
Network cable from MVIX to router
Network cable from Media PC to wireless router.
Video cable from CCTV camera to Media PC
vga cable from media pc to tv
audio cable from media pc to tuner
rca cables between dstv to tv
rca cable from mvix to tv
and of course, most of these cable are too long. and all the devices that use external powersuplies..., it just causes a mess :-(
Attached image is my planned layout. (As you can see I'm no architec)
I do not want to see a single cable. Tought order, but This is what I want.
So what do you guys use for trunking.
I can use that PVC trunking, but do not think that will look very good.
In the image:
1.) glass door to the outside.
2.) Enclosure to hide the power plugs and gazillion power supplies. This will be built to look like an extension of the wall almost.
3.) Is actually the speakers on shelf (7)
4.) Samsung 40" 550C
5.) Media PC, mounted on wall.
6.) Shelf for amp, dstv, tuner, wireless router, dvd player, mvix.
7.) Shelf for speakers and 1 or 2 decoratice items.
Now the majoroty of the cables will run between 5, 6, and 4
All power cables will run from 6 straight down.
So any advice on products I can look at, or some minor changes to this layout are welcome.
Oh, and another thing. The center speaker... Do I place that at top on 7? I do not really want to put it on 2, since I have a 2 year old girl in the house. She is the master of destruction. Trust me, that is not going to work.
I will post some before pics, and pics of where I'm at now.
