Wha? We're on page 20 of 20. Says so right on the screen there. Anyway, maybe it depends on how many posts per page you're set up to view.

At any rate, time for part 11 in my opinion.

OOPS, I just made it 21. Can we close this thing now???

Music

The Mods will let us know when it is time to create a new one.

They have already merged what was Part 11 into this one because they did not see the need to create it yet.

Ooooh, this makes the Mods sound like gods or something! Hail the Mods! I humbly beseach you to grant us wisdom in creating a new thread so that we may share pictures of our DVD collections and HT!

Seriously, please don't punish me Mods! I repent! I repent!

OldBoy

that is an awesome exclusive! it looks like blown glass or something. what is it made of? i would love to get one of those. do they still have them at Costco or is it gone from inventory?

Brooklyn

It's transparent brown plastic for the body and black plastic for the head.
Haven't gone by Costco in a few weeks but they had them a week or so
before Xmas.

'scuse the fuck outta me... back to the 21-page topic at hand.

Jackslade

Not sure if this is the best place to post this question, but oh well.

Where do most people get their movie poster frames? Locally, online, do it yourself?

Sabrett

Oh please, Scott....get off your high horse. If I recall, you've been suspended from this board for a nice period of time, so I wouldn't be so quick to preach about what's "frowned upon" and what's not.

In addition, you're the one who has started the new "parts" of this thread in the past, and now you're oh-so-against it?

FYI -- the shift key is your friend.

Mod note: EVERYONE, especially scott1598 and sabrett, please let the mods do the job of deciding when is the appropriate time to close threads and start new ones. For the record it goes by post count, not page count, and we usually try to keep them around 800. If you recall correctly the last one was closed early though because people kept complaining/bitching/arguing with each other... if you guys can't play nice together we'll shut down these threads entirely.

thx

Hummm...... No one here would do that.

Quite awhile ago, someone posted a pic of their tv cabinet where they installed red (IIRC) rope lighting underneath for some cool ambient lighting effect. I don't want to search through 10 pic threads to find it, but if anyone else has done that, please post. I'm thinking about doing something similiar and wanted a pic to show the wife what it would look like.

el wire is the name. Just do a little net searching and I'm quite sure you'll find plenty of demos for the wife. It's cheap too!!

nice clean set up! can you tell me where you got those black shelfs and how much they cost?
that coffee table is nice with the padding on the sides and the hard surface in the middle very nice!

Sabrett

Bigrederik....awesome set-up. How about a close up of some of those titles?

The Eliminator

^Sweet!

bigrederik

Thanks for the compliments. I got the shelves at best buy, belive it or not. If i remember right, they were around $130 each (i have 3 there in the pic).

The furnature is from the stressless line by a company called ekornes out of Norway. It is available in the US at quite a few furnature stores, so just check out their website if your interested. I absolutely love the stuff. they do have some cinema seating set ups as well

That was me.


EL wire is great, and there are so many uses for it. Just an FYI, you will keep finding places to put it. I am currently working on a project to put it behind each glass shelf, so that the shelf lights up. I will post pics when I am finished.

Star Wars Guy

gijon, that's it. I checked out their website and it looks like the stuff is dirt cheap. Anything special about it? Is it basically super thin rope light that you just plug into an outlet?

GIjon213

It isn't that simple, you have to buy an inverter, but they aren't that expensive. Here is the one I got. This is one of the biggest inverters, and can handle up to 125' of EL wire. The only down side about this device is it is a 12V DC unit, and your wall outputs 120V AC. So I went on Ebay and bought this. Then I cut off the car adapter on the end and soldered the two devices together. It was really simple.

Note: There are actually three wires in the EL wire; Your phosphor coated center wire, which is what emits light, and two tinny tiny copper wires wrapped around it. These copper wires are very small, so I would recommend a wire stripper so that you can strip the correct gauge of wire. This is the one I have ( I think, but the handles are blue) and they work well. If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Here is a picture of the current status of my collection while I await IKEA to get the bookcases in that I need.



If you ever wanted to know how many banker's boxes it takes to hold a collection of about 1,200 DVDs, the answer would be 30.

Once I get everything set-up, I will post new pictures.

what a depressing sight! My collection was in a similar state when i moved from Scotland back to the US. My shipment took 4 months to arrive on this side of the pond, but i had the forsight to have my DVDs shipped by air rather than sea (in place of those less important things such as clothes or cook ware). My poor DVDs were in boxes along the wall just like that.

i jujst got most of mine out of boxes, hang tuff.
