finally, the ultimate system culminates
 

well, almost.... it's in the final stages.

Got my LAN all tweaked exactly the way it needs to be finally.... and got the main brain system now fully portable, even with 600 gigs of content.

this is where it gets good....

so, the studio is on the lower level:

and the audio system is on the upper level:

and the whole works is on a totally wireless LAN, and completely controlled by the master system, which, as I mentioned, is now fully portable. So what this means is, I can go anywhere in the house and not only control every other system from a laptop, but also the audio rack.

The only things I'm missing at this stage is some good outdoor/weather resistant speakers, wire up the sub-room/multi-room system in the rack, some nice new deck furniture with a big sun umbrella, and a cold Mai Tai, and baby.... I'm workin' on the deck lookin' at the ocean. :Graucho

anyone got a line on a good outdoor speaker brand? :glugglug

Looks nice... but I bet you're still using Windows.

and will be for a long time to come. :thumbsup

Looking good :thumbsup

thats a really nice set up you got the Amp. nice work. it would be very nice to have a complete wireless network like that but i dont think my pocket money will stretch enough :1orglaugh
its always nice to have a nice music set up too so you can blast out your fav tunes all the time :thumbsup
nice pics.

WOW!! that looks great man :thumbsup

if it makes you feel any better, I did switch to Apple iTunes as the audio software of choice for the rack, and removed Winamp from the system. (iTunes for Windows, of course)

Winamp just seems to be too much overhead. Course that could've been the skin I was using too.... but oh well... change is good! :)

I'm a *nix person, so if you had a flavour of that up in there I'd wet my pants... but I'm sure M$ is probably better suited to what you're doing. Still looks like a great setup and place to work. :thumbsup

looks great, what hardware are you using in your rack to control the system?
