    I reworked my man cave

    Well, I spent ALL weekend reworking my man cave. It was too cluttered and felt dark and dingy. Did your dad ever tell you that it only takes a few extra minutes to do something right as compared to doing it wrong? Or something to that effect? Well, I finally proved him wrong. I did this the right way and drilled holes through the wall and into my closet to run the mess of power cables and other excess cables there. Then I drilled a hole from the closet floor down into the basement to run an extension cord along the basement ceiling into my furnace room where I have a power conditioner. So all of my equipment is now powered by the conditioner (the biggest killer of electronics is dirty power). I was drilling and wiring all weekend.

    I purchased new speakers with some of the funds from my recent sales. They are not as good as the Pioneer Elite's that I wanted, but still very cool looking, and they sound great. Here are some photos for you to see what some of you guys helped me purchase. The shelf system has a set of covers to hide the wires, which I did not get time to snap on yet, so it will be a little cleaner looking when I am done with that.







    And here is the Mego goodness right in the middle of all the electronic heaven

    Nice set up man, I like it, and nice equipment. . I'm thinking of getting a shelf like that for all my components. And I definitely have to get my cables organized like you are doing, you should see what it looks like behind my TV.

                            I hope there's still room for the mini fridge.
