I can't begin to imagine what all those drops could be. I've seen 200 person offices with less drops! Haha. That is going to be a wired as fuck house. Good job! Here I was proud of my 15 Ethernet drops in my place.
Anyone know some good velcro strips/tape to use for putting up Acoustic Foam on my wall? Want to avoid adhesive spray so if I take them down the wall/foam won't be ruined.
Posted my setup a few months ago, which was full of wood paneled ugliness. Got sick of looking at it this weekend and its looking great. 10 systems currrently hooked up with more on the way.
Dude. I'm painting a paneled room in my house today. Did you use TSP and then primer? I TSP'd it yesterday.
How was the paint process? Pointers?
Is your paneling wood stained? If so, use Killz as a primer. If it's already painted then you're good to just paint with roller/brush. Most paints these days are primer based anyway, but there's a chance that if the paneling is wood the grain and knots could still show thru several coats of paint if you don't use Kilz.
Edit: Just realized that TSP may provide the same prime as Kilz. Not 100% sure on that.
I didn't use TSP, although that's not a bad idea. I just scuffed up the wall using 100 grit sandpaper, cleaned the wall with soap and water, used Kilz primer and was able to paint it in one coat with Behr Ultra Plus primer and paint in one. Super easy, the teardown and setup of my systems took longer than the painting. I also installed a cord concealer that i bought from Ikea for $5 and painted over it.Dude.

New year, new set-up.

It's a LG EG920v or LG EG9200 if you're in the US.That is a beautiful TV! What model is it?
HeyA man after my own heart. I have the American version of the Halo 2 chiefy in my setup (yes, that's what we call him). I also have bookshelves full of the Halo related swag I've collected over the years. Your setup is wonderful, and is the only other one I've seen on Gaf that is so Halo centric.
Note: you can find pics of my setup in page one of this thread here.
Still rocking my 60" Panasonic Plasma and 20" NEC LCD.
Looking to probably replace my little monitor with a 34" Ultra-wide display.

Is that the ST50 line? I have the 55" version of it. Absolutely love it.
Hey guys! I just moved into a new apartment and will post setup pictures soon. I would love to get some advice regarding a room I am struggling with.
This is the main problem area. My "dining room" shown here:
I am not sure what to do. In my previous apartment, I didn't have a breakfast bar area like I do now. I did have a dining table, but I rarely sat at it. I always prefer bar seating. I ended up selling it, but I am unsure of what to do in this new space. I do have seating for two to eat which is enough for me.
Do you guys have any suggestions on what I can do for this space? These are my ideas:
1) Get a small kitchen table (30x30) which is enough to seat two people. I was considering mounting the mirror horizontally behind it would overwhelm the table because it would be so much smaller than the mirror (it would be almost double the width). I would be fine with keeping the mirror like it is and then maybe putting a piece of artwork behind the kitchen table.
2) Leave the mirror how it is and get a dining storage option. Something like this:

The problem is I am unsure what I would actually fill it with. I feel like I am more interested in it just to occupy the space which is really against my minimal approach. I could put some artwork and such above it as well to fill in the wall.
3) I could hang the mirror on the wall and then put something on the wall that it is currently leaning against. Maybe a plant or some kind of seating.
I would totally be open to any other ideas as well. Thanks guys!

Not OP, but here you go: http://shadow2810.deviantart.com/art/Atelier-Firis-Wallpaper-3440x1440-612258434Smooth and clean. Grats on the 1080! Mind linking the wallpaper?
Just curious (and certainly not belittling anyone who does it), but why do so many people put their PC towers on their desk? Is it an aesthetic thing? Or is it more of a functional reason, such as you don't want to run the risk of kicking it if placed underneath, or that it's easier to see inside in case something starts to go wrong?
I've seen it more and more over the past few years and, as someone who likes a clean desk, I've often wondered why.

A bit of a random question, but how do you all keep dust from invading your spaces/setups? My apartment has carpeting in the room where my TV & PC reside and taming the dust is the worst, even with an air purifier.

Death, taxes and.. dust. There will always be dust
I just keep a microfiber cloth handy and clean up while I'm watching sports or whatever.
Same. I usually wipe stuff down every week.
Anyway, I've been planning for my new place. I have some pretty big ideas for home lighting involving live TV sport events + various team colors + voice control (with Phillips Hue and Amazon Echo) so I'm looking forward to finally getting everything set up.

My retro gaming setup for now...
so my other half and I just bought a house.
I get a new study! Woo!
I'm going to build myself a desk unit. Here's my plan - anybody got any thoughts or suggestions?
Also, which program did you use to draw?

Nice and clean set up. I'm getting my XB271HU sometime next week and seeing yours makes me want it more.
Depending on which direction the window is facing, make sure that the blinds are able to keep the light out, otherwise you'll grow mad
Also, which program did you use to draw?
Looks like SketchUp.
This is where I spend most of my time working and playing.
I have the PC, X1, PS4, PS3, 360, PSTV all connected up the monitors. The sound is a Logitech Z506, which is great except for the RCA input. The video is running through a HDMI switcher, and I need a better solution than hooking up a 3.5mm cable to the X1/PS4 controllers.
I tried hooking up a spare receiver (Denon AVR-589) to use optical, but I couldn't get it to work. I'm not sure if the cables I have are bad, or the optical port on the receiver is bad. It also takes up too much room.
Looking for suggestions to improve anything. And yes, I know I have a lot of stuff on my desk. It sucks not having a dedicated home office room.
I also can't find a ton of inspiration looking online. I don't know if not that many people have consoles at their computer or what.
EDIT - realized my Acer H236HLs don't have speakers, but do have HDMI audio passthrough via a 3.5mm connection. Problem solved.
OHHHH IS THAT A LIMITED EDITION GOLD SNES!?!?
I know a poster on here who will sell you a matching gold controller.
Is behind-screen lighting worth it for a 32" in a small room with one main light source?

Is that a Fractal R4..? That case always appears to be small in photos but the dimensions are on-par with my Antec 900, which is a hideous, stupidly big looking case. Maybe the aesthetics just work better because I've been contemplating the switch.
