Cooling

It looks nice but I have one question... Where are all your speaker cables? I see one coming out but that's it?

I run a one channel system with all 5 channels of the Rotel going to that one speaker. I twist my head from side to side really fast and it sounds like surround sound.

I was still doing the fitting when I snapped the picture. Here is a picture of all the wires and the back off. The speaker wires come out of the bottom slot and I have a piece of masonite that velcros over the slot so there is minimal air leakage.

EDIT* Opps, that picture doesn't show the surrounds hooked up. Just imagine some fine, 12awg, Home Depot wire coming from the wall into the Rotel.

That sounds like the best system I've ever heard.... I might have to try that someday. Do you get a headache at all? Any problems with blurry video?
I was just being a smart a$$, I knew you had those fancy cables for the fronts somewhere in hiding.

If you drink enough good booze you don't really feel that dizzy and you don't notice the headache.

Guess I'll have to wait a few more weeks till I try it since I'm taking a month off drinking after my birthday last weekend. Boy was that an interesting night. Fun but interesting

I've got the same problem with my PS 3, and it's on it's own shelf that is open at the front, left and right. The only closed spots are the top and back. But yesterday while watching the FF 7 BD, the fan came on hella loud. It makes me want to get a BD player and stop using my PS 3 to play discs.

I have 2 computer fans laying around that I might use. But honestly, I don't know if it will help much since I would assume that airflow around the PS 3 is already pretty good since the rack is already open on 3 sides. I think the PS 3 used to cool better when I had it sitting vertically. I might try putting the PS 3 on the top shelf of my rack so that I can put it vertical again. But I'd have to move my swords to do that.

Would it be better to put a fan at the back of the PS 3 or to the side, right next to the main vent?
