Holy mother of god Shocked

Here's my setup!

Equipment/storage room

This is where my server and HTPC live, along with all source equipment and the AVR.

Server (Left):
  • Intel Core 2 Duo 6700 CPU
  • 4GB of Ram
  • 250GB OS drive
  • 4x1TB drives in RAID5 for storage
  • Windows 2003 Server
  • Roles: Web/DB/File server

HTPC (Right):
  • Intel Dual Core E5200 @ 2.8 GHz
  • 2GB of Ram
  • 500GB OS drive
  • ATI Radeon HD3850
  • Hauppauge WinTV-PVR 150
  • Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
  • Roles: XBMC! SageTV server for streaming Live TV to other PCs and an HD-300 in the bedroom

Other equipment:
  • Old VCR
  • Two Amino A140 IPTV High definition set top boxes (One as a source for the living room, the other is dedicated to the Slingbox and the SageTV server on the HTPC)
  • Slingbox Solo (So I can watch live TV on my iPhone wherever I might be located)
  • Panasonic DMP-BD30 Blu-ray
  • Yamaha RX-V1800 AVR

Picture:

Living room
  • Samsung 55" LED LCD
  • Harman Kardon HKT11 5.1 speakers
  • Nintendo Wii
  • Harmony One
  • Small wireless keyboard

Image

Image

No cables visible!

And finally, some connectors to allow hooking up my Wii to the AVR in the equipment room:

Image

The HDMI and S-Video connectors go directly to the TV, the composite connectors run to the AVR in the equipment room.

All the equipment is controllable from the living room using the Harmony One via an IR extender and also by any PC on my LAN using my own software: http://rc.hot.is/

I've got a "HTPC" in my kitchen as well, but since it's almost only used as a SageTV client for watching live TV, I thought I'd skip taking pictures of it. Also have a SageTV HD-300 client in the master bedroom.

^-- that does look really clean! Not the closet though... Smile

Where are you running the wires? Completely behind the wall?

Haha, luckily I rarely have to go into the closet.

I hid the wires for the TV in the wall ... the wall is solid concrete so off I went with a hammer and a chisel, took a while Wink

you need more storage space though...

what model is it ?
I didn't know that Samsung has ambilight, or this is your own setup ?


- hagur - 2011-08-07

Yeah, I forgot to mention those are simply IKEA LED strips with variable color.

The TV is a sixth series Samsung, UE55C6000 something if I remember correctly.

Thanks!

Yeah, 3TBs are enough as it stands now, but I guess that will not last long ...

Controllable color... or just random color?

Kaitlyn2004 Wrote:Controllable color... or just random color?

It has tree modes:

1. A button for alternating colors, where it jumps from one color to the other
2. A button for alternating colors where the colors gradually change from one to the other
3. A manual color wheel where you can select the color you want and then it stays on that color

Pretty neat actually.
