My sentiment entirely sir Jake. I'm not one for getting excited & usually take things in my stride but this time things are different. I can only put it down to being a creation from ground up & yes I have to admit I am now getting a little excited

Looking at the equipment rack pictures the details are hard to see, it will probably look a little better when the gears are in but in the meantime I'll get some extra lighting in the room tomorrow & see if I can get some better shots.

I like the equipment rack. Did you have your guys custom build it? Or is it available locally?

Hi ghost, it was custom built by my kitchen unit and closet maker.

I suggest to have lighting behind the rack for easy cable plugging or unplugging gears ...

+1...whenever I change/switch cables, naghahanap ako ng flashlight, now I know, oonga naman, makapaglagay nga rin ako

I would paint the A/C to a color that would match your room.

I've checked out the rear of the rack & with the daylight lamps at the front I can see OK but if I change them I'll have to fit lighting at the rear. Thanks for the suggestion audiojunkie.

Hi Nelson, I did try & get a black unit but unsuccessful, the space that the A/C is in will be covered with a black grille - one of the many things I'm waiting for.

You're welcome, OBR.. yes, with empty shelves more light will pass thru it. Once you put gears in place, sometimes it's difficult to spot on the correct connection. Toslink is one of the hard to find the right orientation.

You're right there audiojunkie, I've had a few fights with Toslink connections in the past

Yes Jen exciting it is, I've been installing the LED rope lights today, half way though & will post piccies when I've got them up & running.

Gino · « **Reply #681 on:** Sep 21, 2014 at 11:39 AM »

I hope things are ok there, Oldboyracer.

Yes all OK, thanks Gino. I've been installing the LED rope lights & cable trunking to the rear of the rack. Also found white primer & black paint on the carpet so have been spending a lot of time trying to remove it. Noticed today that the door frame has moved & cracked the joint around the frame, that will be redone with flexible filler. I won't start installing the gears until the HT room is finished properly & I can lock the door. I'm looking to install the acoustic panels in about 2 weeks so it's getting close

audiojunkie · « **Reply #683 on:** Sep 22, 2014 at 12:50 PM »

It would be better to do first the acoustic panels installation before the gears...

Your quite right audiojunkie but as I have someone installing the acoustic panels we will have a sound test after the install, the panels will be fitted using Velcro so no dust or mess.

Hi Jen, got the rope lights from Wilcon I will have to find the receipt but I think around P4,500 for a 5 meter length. I didn't do very much research, I saw them & just bought for convenience.

Oldboyracer · « **Reply #689 on:** Sep 22, 2014 at 11:41 PM »

LED rope lights now up & running, cabling still to be tidied up.

Front with soffit lights on. Apologies for the unsteady hand - flash off.

LED lights only.

Power supplies & controllers next to he air con.
