Wasn't aware the lack table was still suitable for that kind of weight since they changed the constuction of the legs
Looking forward to seeing the whole room finished.

So easyrider are you building a new house? Are you moving out of your old place?
If so, when can i move in!
Yes Building a new house.
The old cinema room is an out building that I decided to convert to keep me sane while I knocked the old house down and built a new one.

The lack is fine. Even with the hollow legs.
The heaviest thing will be on the bottom table top not even on legs the AV amp. Then Sky + box and then HTPC Thats all I need in this space. All are connected up to the LAN and home server.

I'm surprised you haven't made a 'build my own house' thread then.. I'd much rather see that build log, as you can then add the cinema build into that.

Looks good, subbed.

Interested with your Sky HD setup Easyrider, but what switch are you using to feed it around the house?
I already have four Sky HD boxes, & some magic eyes, but I need to feed the Sky to five rooms, & be able to record on all four boxes, not sure the best way to do it.

UPDATE
The plasterer has been a nightmare....Finally finsihed the Plasterboard and the room has been skimmed.
Pics incoming over the weekend.
Right,
I have been working hard and now have some developments. I apologise for the time its taken me But the plasterer was being a nob
Spots in
Sky Cable X4
Cat 6 x 2
Speaker Cable
Two Single Gang for TV/ Raspberry Pi? and Brush plate for cables
Quad Duplexed Modular Faceplates for Sky + HD, Freeview HD and Dab and 2 X Cat 6 for another wall in bar area (Sonos Maybe) I'm a stickler for Hard wired Lan if its descreet
This corner is for the Lack DIY mini rack

Speaker Cable
Cut Out template for Monitor Audio Rears, I made Boxes out of wood and then screwed Plasterboard to them and got the plasterer to skim.Nice wire free flush in wall rears
Cut Out template for Monitor Audio Fronts
Roughly Stuck on to show you
I have the correct measurements recorded
I will have no AV cab on the front wall. I just wanted my TV to Float in space Have the AV rack in the cinema room and possibly regret it to some extend with the flashy lights of the Amp etc..... 
This is more of a loungy area

Easyrider can you explain something for me please.
Let's say under your TV you need 2 Ethernet cables (say for a HTPC and PS3), that means you need 2 cables being fed from your router and they both need to go into the faceplate. Is that right?
If that's right, wouldn't using an unmanaged switch be easier?

Everything feeds back to this in the study ( yet to be tidied as things get tested )
This is a managed switch so I trunk depending on bandwidth
The 2 x Cat 6 are fed directly to the 16 port Gigabit switch in the study
The 1 gang 2 x Cat 6 socket is for the bar area and I don't need or want a switch cluttering things up on top of a worktop
The whole room has six cat 6 connections....will update pics as they flow
The 2X Grey Cat 6 cables you can see here will come out of a Brush Plate and will either connect with stuff directly or I'll use a mini switch

They are Labtec form screwfix...I'm not to sure how many times I will plug and unplug the cables though! If ever!
I've got these in a few rooms and after about 3 years using them they are scratch free. You'd have to be very heavy handed to scratch them, and even then I doubt it would look that bad due to the brushed metal marks already on there.
Anyway, I'm loving this thread, giving me lots of ideas for future builds!
