Final painting, some drilling, placement of industrial grade velcro for IR repeater (not shown), router, modem, Eth switch, HDMI switch, power.
Rigged so there is extremely minimal crossover of power and data to reduce EMI. All crossover is limited to small power draws, and perpendicular to reduce induction. The Netgear was the only unit with power on the opposite side, so I drilled a hole and ran power cable through the unit. I pondered wrapping data raceways with 3M Shielding PET Rip-stop Fabric Tape or Parker Chomerics CHO-FAB EMI shielding tapes, but declined for the moment. Yes, there are limits to my insanity, apparently.
Started wire runs, just power and ethernet. You can see the IR signal repeater. As ports for two IR receivers, and five double emitters. Highly recommended, it's on Monoprice for under $20. I have used it in dozens of conference rooms. Great for flat mounting.
Power, ethernet and HDMI.
Installed and FULLY OPERATIONAL
Power could have been a bit more clean, but that's due to the wall warts. Shockingly everything worked the first time plugged in, yay wiring schematics! Except I didn't have a CR-2025 coin battery for the HDMI switch remote. Doh. Picked one up, so now yay!
Total cost:
Paint and sanding gear : $100+ I spent too much and went with spray paint. Very easy to deploy and cleanup, so I don't regret it too much.
Wood : $0, perk of the job.
Screws and bolts : $30, ended up buying way more than I needed because of ideas that didn't pan out.
Furniture dolly : $25 and worth every penny.
Canvas drop cloth : $10, definitely better than plastic tarp.
IR repeater was $20, HDMI switch was $80.
Lessons learned:
Circular saw sucks for straight cuts, I need to buy a gorram table saw. Field alternative is clamping a metal straight edge to the wood and then cutting.
Should probably switch to regular paint if I want to be economic. Spray paint gun is probably too expensive alternative.
