Seems to me the only thing missing is a fridge....
... and a bedpan.

I did have a fridge, but I am out of room, seriously. The other half of my room consists of a couch, which i sleep on, a 10-gallon aquarium (no fish), my collection of computer parts, cables, anything you can imagine, I have 17 ac adapters in a drawer that are unaccounted for.

Are you saying my tie job looks like a mess? Well can you imagine what it looked like before? Hahaha! At least now I can reach my hand in and be able to get it out without getting it tangled in wire and rip the TV off the wall mount....


No the second pic the wiring looks a bit better ( I see the bunch's in ties) than the first pic showed to the back of the H/D. I am a stickler over the way wiring looks an that each has a label on both ends of the connection (just makes it a lot easer and faster to locate). I don't like the idea of the microwave you did say you had a SAT or the coffee maker above the H/D and the cup setting on it. The idea of liquids around any electronics is a no no. Thats why it's called an Accident :wink:

The coffee maker is between my monitor and the stack of tape deck, vcr, and EQ. I haven't used it since, hmm, a while....

One thing, I should have used velcro ties, so I can easily undo or redo the wiring, now I'll have to use snippers to undo....
I probably wont be doing much with it, it's tied, and I dont have a reason to be snipping....

You know I had the same idea using the car amps, although, the 200 watt amps I can get a wally world (walmart) are $50 last time I was over there, that's $250, and my theatre system that comes with all the stuff, costs the same amount. ALthough I will say that the speakers that come with it aren't the greatest, they're good, but they could get a whole lot more bang out of the 1000 watts with better speakers. The only problem with having better speakers is space.

I was thinking the same thing. Of course, my next thought was "I bet I could drink lots more coffee if I didn't have to get up for each cup." Now that I think about it, that might be another good reason to keep Mr. Coffee in the kitchen.
