Something showed up at my house last friday....bought it in a moment of weakness. Hilarity/awesomeness ensued.
Before the TV arrived, I wired up an outlet with spare parts I had lying around the house. This went quick, but with an old house I definitely had to change my plan about placement several times over!
I had a 40" out here and moved it into the bedroom....the 32" I put on the tv stand for a nice before/after
New bedroom setup:
A few days later (I suck at timing, oh well), a few more boxes showed up.
Mount up, this thing is the bomb! Holds 300 pounds...I could seriously hang from it. Monoprice #6517.
TV up on the wall, testing everything out:
Pulling cable down to basement was no easy task, but hey what else am I going to do at 2am? Tidied up the cabling all nice once I was done:
Can see it all the way from the kitchen--woot!
Upstairs all cleaned and buttoned up:
All in all, I got a bunch of 50' long cables:
-2x 24awg CL2 HDMI (1 for immediate use, 1 for future)
-2x 3.5mm stereo jacks (1 for stereo output from tv down to reciever, 1 for IR emitters)
-3x 14awg CL2 speaker wire (left, right, center).
Downstairs I have my DVR and old-arse receiver:
Still need to clean up everything but I'm already enjoying the isht out of this setup!
