shape. I have pics of the before and after and boy does the after pics not do the room justice. I am not done totally
but I just had to show you all pictures of the office to come.
New items include:
-Base boards
-Thicker carpet
-Walls with texture on all walls
-In wall desk counter top with internal wall wiring.
-Pot lights in the desk area
-50in 1080P Samsung Plasma
-Cisco 7960G phones all over the whole house.
-Bose 201 Speakers in each corner of office (Only one pic of the speaker in one corner)
-Polk Audio Center Channel wired in wall under laptop desk area.
-New Polk Audio psw505 Sub woofer for extra boom with bass.
-Cat5e wiring around the entire house 18 jacks in total, central location for the file server, network equipment and
patch panel with al 18 ports on it. (Pics when completed.)
-Dell 3110cn Printer
-All new furniture including 2 Gliding chairs (not in picture, on order), New File cabinet (not in picture)
printer stand with all equipment tucked away in it including PS3, Pioneer Elite Receiver for 5.1, and finally Vista
Media center machine with internal wires all going to an HDMI switch which leads to the Plasma on the wall with
HDMI wiring inside walls. along with power line hard wired.
-Laptop desk under the Plasma with xps M1710 with 4gb ddr2 667 memory, T7600G, 7950GTX, 200GB 7200GB SATA.
-I also have the Lian Li Case under the new counter with 2x8800gt Sli Asus motherboard, 4gb pc ddr2 1066 memory,
q9450 ES, (look it up not out yet!)
-Finally I have a picture of my newest toy I am working on. I have a 10000GB or 10TB file server on the last pic
I have posted, all with hot swap drives and the works, 8gb of memory, and a qx6850 installed.
Please be gentle with your comments as I am still finishing minor details such as sealing the desk area, there
needs to be a bit of painting of the base boards and touch up on some areas that need new orange paint, all the
wiring coming down from the in closet desk will have hard wire power source for the monitors, and finally the linksys VPN
on the laptop desk will no longer be there as soon as the 18 port patch panel room is complete so everything is
hard wired to make the room sleek and clean. Basically waiting on my company to dispatch a Cisco VPN to complete
the entire network over here.
I will post 100% complete pics when this project is complete.
If you have any questions about how I remodeled this room, or if you have any comments about the room, or finally
any suggestions you have of the room I could better improve it I would love to know. Visit us at our company at
www.echovoice.com and simply shoot me an email direct at a4bigturbo@echovoice.com. I thank everyone for any
comments or ideas they may have for the room. |

I'm very jealous of the 10TB server...I've only got 2.25TB myself. What job do you have that you need 10TB? |

I would hard wire in a USB hub into the desk somewhere. A keyboard tray would also be nice. |

Thanks for the idea of the USB hub but I got it covered as each monitor has a built in 4 port USB hub for a total of 7 ports.  Take a look at the left monitor there are two usb cables coming out of the screen, that is my mouse and keyboard! |

I have a vpn to my home from the office so I can use the network drives and cisco phones and my extensions when I work from home. It is using Cisco call manager at the main office. |

Isn't the carpet bad for the server? |

Looks good....
BTW with a little work you could probably get your addy off of the UPS label next to the server..... I would watch that with that setup.... |

It looks very clean! I'm thinking about putting an LCD on the wall too.. how do you hide the cables and run the wires? |

You have the flat panel lcd Samsung in the wrong area, what I would do is move those speakers over to be mounted flush on the angled walls, then I would place ambient on the top and bottom portions of that wall section, move the lcd tv over to that wall, then wall mount both lcds on articulating arms that have a complete range of motion, alternatively if the lights were too much of a job for you, you could paint that section of the wall with a UV reactive clear cloat that will keep the orginal color of the wall, but in UV light that entire section of the wall would provide some substantial "ambient" light. |

@cox.net
| Could you explain more detail with the Samsung being in the wrong place? What do you mean exactly. Just wondering. I am a bit confused. Ambient light on top and bottom portions of what wall sections? Move the LCD tv to what wall? Also what are you saying about painting what wall with UV reactive clear coat? |

| Move the Samsung lcd over to the wall that is the backdrop for your two smaller lcd panels, and wall mount it as high as you're comfortable with.
Wall mount the two small lcd panels on articulating arms right underneath the bigger Samsung lcd TV. Since it appears that the sides of the area where your have your pc is are recessed, I'd suggest mounting some ambient blue or orange light right behind those wall sections on either side.
Alternatively if you didn't want to mount the ambient lighting you could paint that entire wall section or a portion thereof with some clear UV reactive paint, it's like a clear coat base that's UV reactive, then buy two black light lamps and place them slightly out of sight behind those wall panels to cause that entire area to be illuminated from the black light, I hope that helps. |

@comcast.net | Now that I looked at your photos a little more closely I noticed that you only have one recessed wall section so in that case just reduce my suggestions referring to both sides to one..... |
