JAS-25T Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Yeah I'm sure there are more than a thousand of them around and about, but it's just one I know that has a good name and advertises multi room, and great UI setups, customised.

Beer Baron Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 thanks boys. ash, those case look great. that is definitely like what i'm after. you've given me a bit to think about. this weekend i'm going to talk to some local stereo guys again, but if I need to go further a field I'll give your guys a go too jas. cheers. I quite like this case too http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...roducts_id=6423 and this one would suit as well http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...roducts_id=6675 it seems the silverstone ones will have something suitable. and perhaps I can use the sonos gear to multi-room it and use the bose amps and speakers (just buy the non-amped sonos receivers). lots of possibilities. edit: OK we have a new contender!!! http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...roducts_id=4827 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/252462-media-centrenetwork-driveeverything-build/page/3/#findComment-4539254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R31Nismoid Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Oh ye there are heaps of cool cases out there. Just gotta pick one that fits all the AMP/Recievers etc that you pick so they work with size/colour and so on in that respect. But no question talking to pro's about the sound setup. Id imagine to get the best sounding thing will be a fair bit of dicking around. Even where furniture is would play a part when it comes to acoutstics... and when your spending 20k thats fairly important Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/252462-media-centrenetwork-driveeverything-build/page/3/#findComment-4539301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAS-25T Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Nothing as flash as what you are setting up, but I may need to do the second room thing (will control from reciever) with a media extender (like a wii/ps3/xbox) in another room Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/252462-media-centrenetwork-driveeverything-build/page/3/#findComment-4539909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 well got a quote from bang and olufsen the other day. some really nice gear. looking at the beosound5 and some beosound 9 speakers, but the speakers are stupid expensive. $13K for the pair! makes the bose stuff look dirt cheap, and the sonos stuff seem like it must be stolen... the actual BO system is not too bad. about $8K for the beosound5 which is awesome. lossless CD conversion to it's hard drive. and it has net radio etc. and the interface is sooo cool. the bloody remote costs $1100 though which is a bit rude, but BO stuff has always been expensive. so I'm still kind of deciding what to do....

Beer Baron Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 beosound 5: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beosound5 beolab 9: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beolab9 (these and the beosound in the lounge room) beovox 1 in the kitchen: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beovox1 beolab 6000 for the front of the house. http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beolab6000 and for outside can probably use the sound from the beolab 9s with the doors open. but to be honest I think the BO stuff might end up too $$ in the end. I mean their 40inch LCD High def Tv is $22,000 FFS! and their stereos only work with their TVs... also considering the beosound 3200 instead of the 5. http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beosound3200 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/252462-media-centrenetwork-driveeverything-build/page/3/#findComment-4553087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS-25T Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Wow mate, that's like a 50k+ system. Surely you could fit in 2.5k for my media centre in there somewhere Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/252462-media-centrenetwork-driveeverything-build/page/3/#findComment-4553209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Wow mate, that's like a 50k+ system.Surely you could fit in 2.5k for my media centre in there somewhere yeah $50K is way over the budget. like more than double. maybe triple even. I certainly wouldn't pay $22K for a 40inch LCD. I mean my bravia XBR 46" retailed for about $5K when new and even that was pricey I thought. so yeah, I think the BO gear might be out. If I went for cheaper speakers, and maybe skip the beosound5 then it could be doable, but when you are up $1100 for a remote things can easily get out of hand.

Beer Baron Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 an update for anyone interested. in the end we did get the bang and olufsen gear. got the beosound 5, and the beolab 9 loudspeakers (or might have ordered the 10s in the end, I forget now), and some more speakers and multiroom gear, another remote (cost about 2 bloody grand!) and even got their beocom2 cordless phones which are kick ass. http://www.bang-olufsen.com/beocom2 in plain aluminium of course. I'll let you guys know what it's like once it all arrives and is installed. the beosound 5 system is pretty cool and gives lossless sound from CD unlike MP3 etc. the only real downside of course was that it smashed the 20k budget. on the plus side I think the BO gear will hold it's value fairly well and should last forever just about.
