Entertainment Center

EntCent - Front

Finally got around to mounting the monitor on the VESA-mount arm I’ve had kicking around for ages.
Moved the Raspberry Pi to behind the wooden support, wired everything up and hid most of the wires behind the support.

EntCent - Back

The Pi is currently running OMSC, but basically only for the weather plugin right now. I have used it for watching videos, but the internal setup isn’t fixed yet and the games we play on the Homebrew-modded Wii.

Planned/Wanted updates include:

  • I would like to add a USB MPEG Encoder, HD/LD capable to encode things like VCR movies, stream Wii video games, but also accommodate upgrades and adding HD to the mix.
  • I want to create some power-adapter bits-and-pieces, so I can use a regular computer power supply to power the various USB/5V and 12V devices with a single device. Molex-USB female adapters anyone? 😉
  • I need a shorter HDMI-DVI24+1 cable.
