#11 - Michael and Mindy's Hidden Tech
One computer is connected to a commercial 42 1080p plasma display in the Living Room. The other is connected to a 22 widescreen LCD monitor in the bedroom. All components, including computers, 7.1 surround receiver, DVD player, HDTV cable box, two printers, scanner, router, video Ipod, and Bose 301 speakers are neatly stacked in the bedroom closet. Infinity floor speakers and a 10 150W subwoofer are concealed by a folding screen. Niles RCA3 remote extenders, and Bluetooth keyboards and mice keep wires hidden. Rhapsody provides on-demand music throughout.
Great Tip: Even in a rental, dont be afraid to put a few good sized holes in the wall.

I recall seeing your space posted on the other contest page, and its nice to now see your bedroom. How are you feeding the video signal to the monitor in the bedroom? Also, where are you hiding all of your clothes?

Derek, We lucked out and have a bedroom closet long enough to hide our A/V system and clothes. There is a cord that runs out of the closet along the floor and up the leg of the desk to feed the monitor.

Not to sound too much like the contrarian, but I love the TV wall. I'm a sucker for well-done, clean, Asian-inspired design.

I like what you have been able to do, especially in a rental -- it has all the necessary tools hidden away at first glance, but easily accessible when you need then.
