Hi,
Thank you all for your kind words about my DIY ability!
Currently I have the one pipe for the video leads (vga/dvi/svideo/composite) and the main lead is outside the pipe running along the pipe trapped by the two 40mm pipe clips that hold the pipe in place. Currently the difference in picture quality is not different if the mains lead is outside the pipe, or running along an entirely seperate route, hopefully the plastic pipe has sufficicnt shielding.
I do like the idea of using a 'chrome' pipe, looks more stylish but dreading cutting the lenght of the pipe to push the leads into the pipe!
The plant is not a real issue from the main viewing positions, but yes Norman and Norman Junior do require a prune
I shall endavour to take a 'head on ' photo rather than a side view!
After one request, the stand is home made using 12 mm MDF boards, and the vertical struts are based on M16 threaded rods with 40mm waste pipe to hide the thread!
Might not be the most anti-vibration stnad out but it was cheap and quick to produce. All I want to do now is to replace teh MDF boards with marble; that will reduce vibrations!
