Hi Everyone,
I am looking at getting some cabinets and shelving built in to the alcoves on either side of the chimney breast and also beneath the screen to cover the existing radiator and to house the center speaker.
Note: fixed screen will be replaced with electric screen and wall mounted TV.
Here is the current state:
The existing IKEA cabinet served its purpose but it is open at the back and gathers dust. I am hoping to achieve with building something in that I can better organise cabling, seal from dust, allow access when required, etc...
In/behind there currently is:
- Bunch of white cables from speakers in other rooms coming back to a manual speaker switch.
- 3 coax cables for Sky and RF out
- Single Ethernet cable feeding a switch which feeds any kit needing internet/network
- AVR with power/speaker cables, currently 5.1, might look at prepping for 7.1.4
- HTPC with associated cables connected to AVR
- Sky HD
I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions from what you may have done, seen or would suggest to help me achieve a tidy cabling solution along with a decent storage solution ideally allowing access when needed. Note: it will not be possible to access through a wall or anything like that so it will need to be all in room.
Many thanks,
Eddie
