Shane's Setup.

Hi guys

Not really much too see but I thought I would share and get some advice from you lot!

Well at the moment my setup is in my bedroom (I'm only 17) but once I get my own house and more room I'm looking to expand it all.

So here it is...

















So as you can see it's all a bit messy at the moment. I've only just moved house about 5 weeks ago so still getting things together (hence no flooring down) I really need to sort out all those cables and crap. I tried trunking but didn't have much luck with it, it looked all crap and messy. Any other ideas of hiding the cables?

Stuck my surround sound on the wall today but not sure if it fits. Still deciding whether to keep them on the wall.

Also wanna look for a new unit to stick all my stuff on. Preferably one with a closed back so I can shove all the wires down the back without them being seen. As you can see, the one I've got now is open so all the wires are on show. Anyone got any good suggestions? Something to go with the furniture would be great.

As for that there is really nothing else that I can do in here. With limited space it's pretty crap, but once I have my own place it's gonna be good.

Anyway, cheers for any help I get with the wire hiding and picking a stand and other crap

Thanks!

Shane.

Re: Shane's Setup.

Indeed 17.

Yeah the dust is gone now. I was drilling the holes for the speakers and didn't realize the dust until I had taken the picture

Re: Shane's Setup.

I think the Samsung deserves a belated Christmas present...


Other than that, cracking setup!

Re: Shane's Setup.

try and run the wires together down the back panel of the stand. Keep all power together and all av together and cable tie round the holes?

As it's your bedroom holes in the wall are probably a no no? So i wider trunking for the wires up the wall?

Re: Shane's Setup.

What I really wanted to do was run the wires into the wall or something like that and make them come out of the wall where they have too. Haven't got a clue how I would do it or start

Re: Shane's Setup.

I thinking of buying this Buy Montana Entertainment Unit. at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for . It has a back panel so I can hide all the cables away and that. What you guys recon? Will it look good with the rest of my stuff?

Thanks.
