Some sample pictures to whet your appetite of my current equipment rack. Theater project is nearing the end.
The actual rack, current as of today. Not fully complete, but pretty much so. I chose to go with a horizontal rack to allow the large window above it to remain unobstructed to allow light and airiness into the room when I open up the alcove. The rack itself is by Salamander Designs. On the top left of the rack is a Dell laptop. The little item on the top right is actually an RF baby monitor. Hooking it up to the theater, you can check on the baby in the theater as well as distribute the audio and video from the monitor to my all-home A/V system so you can check on her anywhere in the house.
The left bay of the rack. From top to bottom:
Behringer Feedback Destroyer
JVC S-VHS VCR (keep it mostly for a clock)
Two rows of AudioSource 5.3 mono amplifiers driving Clark Synthesis Tactile Transducers
Atlantic Technologies Power Strip
Old Kenwood receiver, used as an amplifier for my all-home audio distrubution system
The center bay of the rack. From top to bottom:
Parasound Halo C1 pre-amp/processor
Parasound Halo A51 5-channel amplifier
Parasound Halo A21 2-channel amplifier
inbetween components are Parasound 1u rack mount vents matching the Halo pieces
The right bay of the rack. From top to bottom:
Zenith HS-520 HDTV satellite receiver
Denon DVD-3910 universal DVD player
Old Kenwood tuner
Old Kenwood 5-disc CD changer
Old Kenwood twin cassette deck
A larger view of my equipment alcove. It's on the left side of my theater. When finished, it will be enclosed with black curtains. I've wired a Xantech IR distribution system in the walls with the IR receiver on the front screen wall to control the equipment with the curtains closed. The lights and surround speakers you see are about to be enclosed in columns, and then the walls will be covered with acoustical fabric. The seats are Salamander Design Matteo seating.
Much more to come in the future as I complete the theater--rear pictures of all connections and CAT Cables, projector, screen wall, etc!
