Title: in-wall elo jukebox.
Post by: rberger3 on January 03, 2011, 12:52:02 pm

So here is the start and almost final product. was just waiting for a dremmel tool to make quick work of the drywall. 

also, it's amazing how 14 inches was really only supposed to be 13 inches across.  whoops! :angry:

Nice. I'm SO wanting to do something like this.

But I'm thinking Ipad, little intranet webserver, remote control home theater....Ack way more projects that I need right now  :)

yeah there are so many tablets now that it could've been much easier to just pop one of those into the wall.  had that elo laying around for almost 2 years and just wanted to do something with it.

Running xlobby, the free version.  has a nice feel to it, but i honestly haven't looked at front-ends in almost 2 years.  there might be something else out there.

Got the j-molding placed in around the edges, just waiting to get a mitre box to cut the angles.

that looks pretty cool :applaud:  are you going to feather out the j channel with joint compound?  might look kinda cool to case the opening with a stain grade casing to match the doors.

I will be putting a frame on it that is basically base trim.

Ok, i got the frame put in.  Not too shabby if i do say so myself.  Now i just have to run cable all through the house. :banghead:

PS:  i know if looks tilted, but it's level, just the way i took the pictures

 :applaud:  gonna have to add this to my ever-increasing list of projects. someone with more skills than myself could potentially turn that into a whole-house information system to control lighting, thermostat settings and many other common household functions.

is this primarily for a juke, or is there anything else you plan to do with it?

it just does my jukebox, don't have any plans for home automation, at least in this house.

Now hide WinXP with Instantsheller or something of the sorts! Takes the computer feel away!
