killswtch's Home Automation and Media Projects

This is the story of my attempts at integrating various technologies into a 3-bed semi, constructing as much of the hardware and electronics as possible myself.

What's next?

Posted by killswtch

The Homebrew Challenge gave me a reason to progress my projects, but over Christmas things have slowed down. Winning the competition has given me some money from the sale of my old car, so it seems fitting that the money is put towards finishing the current projects. This is my plan for the projects over the next few months.

January 2008
Purchase Zone 2 amplifier, Zone 4 amplifier
Improve rack ventilation

February 2008
Purchase Zone 3 amplifier, DVI/USB KVM

March 2008
Purchase Matrix switcher

April 2008
4u blanking plate, 1u blanking plate
Write control software

The full list of things to do/purchase over the next 2 years is available on my other blog.

I have purchased the 2 amplifiers for this month from eBay, but haven’t got around to the ventilation improvements as yet.
