He threw in the center speaker for a total of $125, I'm pretty happy with that. They sound great, he hooked them up before I bought them. Thanks for the help!
I'm going to tell you something you don't want to hear. Those speakers are not worth putting much into. They aren't the Infinity of old, that were a respected name in loudspeakers. The Studio Monitors came after the Infinity name was sold to Harman International, who manufactured a cheap line of speakers and put the Infinity name on them. Even in perfect condition, they don't sound great and they're cheaply made.
i have this almost exact set up at my place you may be worried about how the bulk head will look but it’s honestly fine. i don’t know how to attach pics to a reply but maybe if you DM i can send a pic?
I second this. I just finished drywalling my basement and the ceiling at 7'8" max height and I did what poster above described. Build a symetrical faux soffit to balance out the left and right sides, that is if you're using that end all as the theatre. You'll still have some good height left in the middle and since you won't lower your display wall, a projector is still in option.
A question for both of you here, is the recess equal to or greater than the width of each row of seating? I feel like I wouldn't want my raised row of seating under the soffit areas.
This is great, thanks. I just found one (T420) that isn't the memory I'd like but is 8 bay and is only $399. Does this sound right? Now just buy my drives, plug them in, setup the server and I'm good to go? Seems too easy haha. I'd assume I could upgrade this one over time too such as increasing the ram?
I've got a T420, love it, running 4 drives, two virtual machines, 8 containers, draws about 130 watts. In my neck of the woods thats not too bad on the power bill so I leave it running 24/7.
I have my AV receiver in my network rack with other equipment. I ran all my speaker wires from my living room to my network rack and terminated them in keystone jacks on my patch panel. From there, I have speaker "patch cables" that connect to the keystones and have banana plugs that connect to my receiver.
As someone who has had a lot of server equipment and a lot of home theater gear it should be fine. Are you in the USA? Because most of both that you would have in a home is 110V. The exceptions to that would be some power amps that are 220V and high density compute rack units that can be 220V also.
You make some really good points, I think I will end up separating them, I hadn't thought about noise! I'm still in the planning phase of an unfinished basement so now is the time to be thinking about this sort of thing. I like the idea of a simple unmanaged switch in the home theater rack, with an ethernet cable going back to my NAS/VLAN switch.
Yes, that is the part I have a difficult time wrapping my mind around also. The atmosphere is 1% the density it is on earth so it just dosent have any pushing /erosion power
Looks great! One quick improvement you might consider making to help protect your data pools in the event of a power failure is a UPS system (aka battery backup).
I'm struggling here also. I'm sick of it and heading in a different direction. I just spun up a Ubuntu VM on truenas and I plan to install docker on it.
Its ok, not the deal of the century.

Why not? Upgrade the crossover?
Yep, already destroyed the crossover cover by the time I read some of these comments, o well. Crossovers should be here today.

This is great to know, I wont bother sinking too much money into these. Long term I may just make them my garage speakers.
Where do you get the butter ghee?
Meijer, they are everywhere in my neck of the woods
Which butter flavored coconut oil do you use?
Golden barrel products (Amazon)
I think your biggest problem is your walls appear to be textured. If you don't match that texture your patch is going to stick out like a sore thumb

That would be great, I'll shoot you a DM!

It would be sick just to have the rack for my house

O man, I'm probably around 50' (maybe more) so this hdmi fiber you're talking about would have to be the way I would go.

Did Nasa writes an article or something about this picture?
Here is the
Wild that this is still visible after close to 4 billion years of dust storms and related weathering.

Even after the search warrant, the FBI and DoJ would have happily kept the matter quiet. The National Archives just wanted its stuff back.

I had SM150's back in the day powered by a NAD 7600. That combo was freakishly loud. I would re foam these. What model are they?
I think according to everyone else they are sm-100 (studio monitor-100)
You can find some nice grille cloth to replace the stock one, and maybe get a nice color that goes with your decor!
Another great idea, I'll see if I can find some, I'm sure there are tutorials on youtube showing how that is done as well 😁
Man I'm jealous, thats not a cheap cabinet $400 easy in michigan
Can you change the pitch of the screw? If it were more fine it would provide more of a mechanical advantage.
😂😂😂 work in progress that is actually grafting but thought I’d give wonderful networking people of Reddit a laugh this Sunday
Come on man, yah gotta tag that NSFW, we dont want people doing this in the workplace, lol

Thank you very much!
If someone else films, that’s not a barrier…

They seem to be focusing on smaller regional subreddits this time where they're less likely to be detected
This is exactly what I would expect a bot to say 😉
