Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't that projector the BenQ W1070? That price listed for it has shot up for the Holidays, usually it goes for around $100 less than currently listed on Amazon. It's a really popular projector on this subreddit and for good reason.
If you could find some way to diffuse the lighting a bit I think itd take it to the next level. Because how bright the picture makes it seem, I can't tell if its just a standard adhesive LED strip or what
But something like this would soften the lighting and give you clean straight lines
The area looks very cool though
For the internet into the cave provided that the sockets are on the main ring that the router is on (and not plugged into any adaptors etc) these
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-PA211KIT-200Mbps-Powerline-Adapter/dp/B004INVKP4
work really well in transmiting the singal into your cave. You will need an Ethernet port on your PC for the best signal but I'm sure you can also put another router to transmit the wireless signal around the cave as well but this isn't something I've done, as I have a switch that transmits the signal via ethernet to both the PC and Playstation.
Let me know if this doesn't make sense!
I’m using these for my desk (though they’re a little short). However, these (or something like these) would probably be a bit better and look more elegant for TV setups.
I ordered it on amazon. It’s currently unavailable but I’m sure you can find it on eBay or something. Look up “Satio Blacklight poster” FYI: Satio is the photographer.
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B079TLJV1G
There are a few different versions of them, but very affordable and comfortable!
Using Ethernet for the monitors was the plan from the very beginning. Before I put the sheetrock on the walls I had placed CAT6 jacks beside the power outlets for each monitor. Here's a before picture.
All of the CAT6 ends for the entire basement end in a small closet I made to hide some plumbing. I put up a little shelf and put all the components in there. Here's another pic.
At the time I wasn't sure if I was just going to plug the monitors in directly to the network for Smart TV access, or if I was going to try and carry video over Ethernet. I ended up going the video route and used these components:
Amazon: Monoprice 105704 4 x 4 True Matrix HDMI Switch/Splitter with Remote Control
Amazon: AGPtek LKV372A 60m/190ft 1080P HD HDMI Network Extender Over Single Cat6/6a/7 Ethernet Cable with IR Remote Control
As you can see in the closet picture, I have 4x of the HDMI network extenders, each labeled 1-4. CAT6 goes in one end and HDMI the other end. All the HDMI cables are 3' I also got from Amazon.
The HDMI cables all go into the 4x4 Switch Splitter. What's cool about that guy is I can have 4 sources, and control what source goes to what monitor. Right now I only have 2 sources, an Amazon Fire Stick and a Raspberry Pi. The switch lets me display the sources on any monitor I want, so I can have 2 watching the game or a movie, and the other 2 with the blind clock, or 3 watching the game and 1 with the blind clock, etc etc.
Behind each monitor there is a matching HDMI extender. They look just like the ones in the closet. So out of the CAT6 jack and into the extender with a 3' CAT6E cable, out of the extender HDMI with a 3' cable and into the monitor. The extender requires power so it uses the 2nd outlet behind the monitor.
That's all there is to it. I'll admit it was a bit finicky at first getting all the extenders to sync and act right. I believe this is because I'm cheap and was trying to get out as cheap as possible. I tried other extenders that were cheaper first and they either didn't work at all, or were awful quality. When I got these they mostly worked right out of the box, but I had to redo some of my punches at the jacks themselves which was weird because my jack tester said they were perfect but the extenders weren't happy with them at all.
I think you'll need something like: https://smile.amazon.com/Processor-Version-Controller-Splicer-Splitter/dp/B07B53KBVM/
You could possibly look into using cable cards instead of 4 cable boxes. You'd need something like this to add in there though: https://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/
put these up on atleast 1 wall.
http://www.amazon.com/2x12x12-BURGUNDY-CHARCOAL-Acoustic-Soundproofing/dp/B00ATP5KF6
And lay out some nice soft dark carpet.
I'd recommend using these velcro ties since they can be reused and you can adjust them if you add/subtract cables from your bundle!
That's pretty cool, but so expensive for such a tiny fridge. I've also always wanted one of the Marshall half-stack fridges but they also way too expensive.
Definitely a booze globe
You can pick up your very own here if you'd like.
You're looking for Picture in Picture (PIP)? You can buy a device for under $50 for this, however the major drawback is that the screen won't be evenly split between the inputs. Like traditional PIP, there is one main program that encompasses the entire screen and the sub-programs are overlaid on top at a fraction of the size. You can see this in the sample photos in the links below.
http://www.amazon.com/aLLreli-Premium-Certified-Splitter-Picture/dp/B00M0HF2TU
http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity%C2%AE-Switch-wireless-adapter-Supports/dp/B00H9642JS
I think you should forget the whole PIP/split screen thing and just get 2 displays. You'll have way more control over your inputs.
I have an Optoma HD141X Full 3D 1080p 3000 Lumen DLP Home Theater Projector with MHL Enabled HDMI Port projecting onto an Elite Screens 109 Inch 16:10 Manual Pull Down Projector Screen (57.8"Hx92.4"W). Lot of bang for the buck and still get surprised on the resolution of the picture and the overall viewing experience.
It looks much cleaner if you use thiskit to run the cables.
I was trying to figure this out a couple months ago. I ending up ordering this splitter from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DSQMVKU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So far its worked for me. Here is how I set mine up. http://i.imgur.com/CttkMeG.jpg
Only the SNES, N64, and 360 are plugged in to the splitter.
