No shit it is, I just paid $112 shipped for the same thing last week....

Who did you order the rest of your rack components from?

The guy that does all of my A/V stuff is a dealer for www.snapav.com - he's gotten all of it there and has given me pretty wicked pricing. I'm happy with the turnout....

Here it is after about 8 hours worth of work today. Still have to do the plexiglass door cover as well as some more wiring, but you get the gist of it.

Still need to repaint and have new doors for that area made. It wont' look complete for a few more weeks at best, but progress is key. I'm going to put in one more set of the same 4x 2U fans at the top as well.

I think sometime next year when I've got some spare cash, I'll install some rack mount Crown amps to really boost the power in the media room....

He's mounted all of my wallmount tv's, CCTV system, indoor/outdoor speaker setup, media room and speakers/projector, and now this.... Nothing but positive things for the guy. He was a referral from Tim, CWO on the board.

Getting there but still a ways to go. Have more wiring and thinking about adding a second sub and separate amps to run surround....

Needs another set of fans or vent at the top 2u... Plexiglass door will be in next week.

Luke is a good friend of mine and does good work for a fair price.

Your media room is shaping up nicely.

Lmk what he had that I didn't, I may need to get something from you.

Thanks for building it for me....

He's going to send me a few of his external hard drives full so I can copy over, I'll send you a list of what all is on it once I get it, which you're free to use.

My pleasure. Thanks for the opportunity to serve your pc building needs.

I've been thinking about upgrading my Pentium 4.

I'm getting my MIL old pc and was going to add a vid card and possibly a couple nice hard drives and run XBMC. I've looked online but mostly see guys building seperate htpc and seperate servers or NAS.

Is there a reason I shouldn't add a couple 2TB hard drives to the tower in the media room and then just run some small htpc setups in the other rooms?
