Folks, it looks like to me that I am a bit cramped with the way my setup is right now. Just wanted to see if anyone out there agrees with me or not. Every time I move things around it is such a royal pain in the arse. Just want to make sure that it is really needed before I do.
My plan is to move my desk exactly where I have my kitchen table placed. More on the table later. But for now, it looks like that is where I am placing my desk. The file cabinet is going to go in the far right corner as is my high tower table. That way, I can set my desktop on top of the file cabinet and my Ooma on the high tower table. Will need to figure out exactly where to place my modem as I am ordering an ethernet switch box very soon. That is, I need at least (6) ports and my modem only has (4). My internet is installed on the left side of my TV stand. I connect from there and then run a cable to my modem. Not sure how or hwere to integrate my ethernet swtching box?
Once my desk is moved to the new spot I will then move my TV stand slightly to my right to get my fronts out and away from the corners. Will make sure they are equidistant on each side of my TV stand. I also will leave my Behringer DAC on the front of the file cabinet next to my desktop so I can adjust the volume to my JBL headphones. However, my JBL 305's will need longer TRS cables if I do it that way. It may just be easier to place the DAC on my desk as it is now. If I do that, then I will need a longer USB cable. Which way would work best? Not too sure on that one.
Got to order new cabling, banana plugs, spades, and etc. once I decide where everything is going. Plan to buy some kite string to get a better idea of my cabling lengths. No need to order more than is necessary. Plus, longer lengths clutter things up a bunch. That I don't like. Here are some pics:
See what I mean when I feel congested/cramped? Plan to put my desk where my kitchen table is now. The file cabinet will basically just move all the way to the right hand side. By moving my desk frees up 42" of space. That way I can move my fronts out and away from the front walls. The left front will also be out and away from the left side wall.
Here is a shot of my kitchen table where my desk is going. Of course, my JBL 305's will also be moved. As such, my TV stand will be moved towards the right hand side of my room. I will have 42" total to play with. Plan to make the most use of it too. Also, notice my new Bi-Poles. More on that later or even in a new thread.
Here is the high tower table that will sit directly behind my file cabinet in the far right hand corner along the front wall. Will place my Ooma on it as well.
Here is another shot of where my kitchen table is now and where my desk will soon be going. More on the Bi-Poles later.
See how cramped my fronts are? Also, I do think that the platforms I built for my TV looks pretty good for an amateur like myself.......LOL!!!!! Now that the middle shelf is clear, I will put my Sony BR player on it. My Denon AVR will be moved to the center of the bottom shelf. Be sure to notice the rat's nest behind my TV stand. Plan to do something about that as well. Getting proper cabling will be a
BIG help in that department.
Bought me a rug set on Black Friday from Menard's and will run wire underneath for my Bi-Poles. Will take issue with that in another thread. So, for now are my plans fruitful? Trying to get things spruced up a bit. It looks very good to me, but also very cramped. Do believe that I am headed in the right direction. Thanks to all of you and your help. Advice/comments needed. Thanks!
Cheers,
Phil
