I bet if you were in that room you with that those 3 awesome machines you wouldn't bat an eye at the power cords.
The internet is funny because we all felt we needed to mention something negative about those cabs. In real life if we stumbled across that room, we'd probably have nothing but compliments and praise. We'd then ask if its ok to play some Rampage.

I agree that the machines are great looking and don't think anyone was complaining about the cords just saying it does take away from the overall look of them - Here's just a quick change that shows how it would look without the cords dangling there as an example :cheers:

Great visual. Exactly the point we're all trying to make.

You guys are right of course. I'm sure my wife would be on my case about the cords (she is always right also), but she would probably prefer to divert my attention away from these machines and towards other projects.

The only concern with these designs is how little weight you can put on them before they go crashing from the wall. That or I'm just underestimating the strength of whatever you're using.
