Lol, nice one. By the way, if you need a RF Extender (not sure if yours came with one) for that Harmony to keep your equipment operational but hidden, let me know as I will be selling mine very soon

How did you get on with that LED lighting kit? Has it brightened things up for your set-up?

Alright m8..yeah the lighting kit is fantasic...not too much light really just enough specs when your viewing your telly..tryed to take a picture of them but because of the white background you can hardly see them but trust me they are good..well happy with them thanks m8..

I've had a few over heating issues in the outer cuboards but i've cut vent holes now which should stop the problem..have'nt had chance to try it though bin to busy at work.. I've put on a few more photo's but still little tidy jobs to do before it's completed..takes so much time fitting it in with work..and lots and lots of planning..

Oh thats good to hear, I am glad you got the effect you were after (and no longer stuck with one colour )

Good luck with your overheating issues, if they continue after your modifications, maybe a few pc fans venting at the top would got that hot air out quicker...

Re: My Home Entertainment System Project

I forgot to put on the last picture of my project..
I am so made up with the system...the sound...picture everything amazing... and I've built a PC with 1000 gig hard drive and 4 Ram memory with a blue ray player with it and it's fantansic, I even treated myself to a signed Torres shirt as I am a harderned Liverpool fan to finish off the look...

Hope you all enjoyed my project and thanks for all your sugestions...Hope more people can get tips from this...

Want to say a big thanks to my friend the fathacker for his help too..Cheers m8..
