Today, Friday February 10th, 2012, I purchased a Techcraft (SWD30) credenza style component cabinet. I had been looking for a new component cabinet for some time. This purchase will allow me to relocate my current component cabinet from the corner to under the window in the living room. The current cabinet is something I purchased over 15 years ago and is definitely in need of replacing.
To make this conversion possible I have also purchased several cables from Monoprice.com to accommodate the new cabinet location.
Specifically I purchased:
Coaxial Cable - 6 foot RG-6 Quad Shield (Color is white to blend) (From wall outlet to Cable Box)
HMDI Cable - 15 foot 24 AWG Category 2 (Color is white to blend)
HDMI Relief Cable - 8 inch 28 AWG (From TV to main HDMI Cable)
Power Cable - 3 foot 18 AWG Right Angle Adapter (From TV to power cable)
Power Cable - 20 foot 16 AWG (From TV adapter to surge protector)
Speaker Wire - 18 AWG (Color is white to blend) (For FL/C/FR speakers)
The new component cabinet will serve as a cabinet an end table by a chair. Since the current cabinet is run down and not display quality it was tucked in the corner. I live in an apartment and I cannot run the cables through the wall. My hope is that white speaker wire, HDMI cable and power cord will help these cables blend in better with the wall. The current cables don't blend very well because the HDMI cable is black and the speaker wires are copper.
Later posts will have pictures and descriptions of the installation process. I plan on putting everything together during the evenings next week and I figure it will take about 1 week to get everything setup and configured correctly.
Cables that have to run up the wall:
Front Left Speaker Wire
Center Speaker Wire
Front Right Speaker Wire
HDMI Cable from AVR to Television
Power Cord to Television
Current cables that run up the wall:
Coaxial cable to Cable Box (New cabinet location does not require long coaxial cable run.)
Front Left Speaker Wire
Center Speaker Wire
Front Right Speaker Wire
HDMI Cable from AVR to Television
Power Cord to Television
