The Man-Cave

[smogsy]

got some great updates coming soon. your all going to love.
Think BIG!

Thanks for your comments, Question is what else do i need to add hmm.

 

[smogsy]

Just a couple of comments

I would have got a few home cinema chairs with built in speakers/rumble pads instead of a sofa. Also not sure how good all the wood is for the acoustics including the floor I would have kitted it out with soundproofing and done a job on the sound ambience and a much bigger main display. I would have made it more of a home cinema experience and hidding the equipment but thats just my personal preference there is too much wood.

Looks more like a lumberjack cave.

I am sure if its to your spec many many hours of enjoyment will be spent in there.

Cheers
:Cinema Chairs normally have Not so good speakers,
: Acoustics are actually really good
: Screen i'm looking into
: I could still Hide the Equipment, & possibly want to But need to sort out Ventilation
: Kind of love the Wood, but maybe a rug of some sorts?

: Security wise, its quite secure (the whole reason) i've not shown you how it has been secured so its more secure. for all you know i have a moat with armoured gaurds , you could say its more secure than a house in some respects

update on-suite in the making

not complete!

 

[smogsy]

it seems so

 

[smogsy]

Your man cave is better fitted out than many homes!

Sorry if I missed it but are you running a projector? if not tellys a bit wee small?

don't worry lot more upgrades to come, waiting on new stock for many things

Just a question regarding the 24-port switch...

Why does the main line to the cabin run into a 24-port switch then all the devices are then connected through an 8-port switch?

i had the 24 switch already & 8 ports are around the room, this leave expansion.
for future. currently using 18 ports i believe.

 

[smogsy]

18 ports - WOW that is a lot of ports. What have you got that is using all those ports?

Let me see:
TV
SKY
PS3
BLURAY
LAPTOP
WII
device... Can't say anymore
NAS
PC
GUEST MACHINE/FIX MACHINE
PC#2
HTPC possibly soon
Router
OK NOT 18 but 12

Without wireless devices

 

[smogsy]

not to sure where you got that from?

however some more upgrades soon

 

[smogsy]

Hey there smogsy,

I'm a fan of your cave!

Just wanted to ask if you have considered putting up acoustic foam panels and/or bass traps around the walls/corners to improve room acoustics? I read earlier on that you had some issues with the sound coming from your tv, so this might be a possible solution.

Foam panels can make a big difference by eliminating sound reflections around the room hence removing echoes. You can get a cheap set of foam panels for under £50 (just standard black wedge shaped tiles). Bass traps for the corners cost an extra 40-50ish. High quality or coloured panels will cost more though (probably double that).

Just thought I'd let you know in case it helps.

where did i say i had problems? the acoustics are amazing, far better than my old area that i had them in

I'm very jelly, this 'Man Cave' looks very similar to what I was thinking of before clicking on the link in the signature. But why do you need a bed and toilet since this man cave is only like 2-3 meters away from your home, right? Or is it further than that?

its more like 30-40m

bathroom is almost complete so pictures soon

 

[smogsy]

so some fans from 1 box of 2

 

[smogsy]

just quick update

 

[smogsy]

[smogsy]
