While you're at it, pick up a couple of spare USB cables and the other type with the mini-end for cameras. They come in handy! LOL!

Some older homes only have 2 prong outlets. This is bad since nothing is grounded to the outlets.

Thanks you Lou! Yeah all my outlets are three prong.

Red..where you should run the wires along. Tape it along the back shelf and zip tie it straight down the middle.

Blue is where I'd put the front/left right speakers.

Yellow/green is where i'd switch whats on those shelves. Center below the tv. Receiver...ps3 where the center is now.

If you mount the l/r fronts outside of it...you could take the wires off to the side and run it down the rack poles or get racetracks and paint it the color of your walls. Sure some wire be showing but when you get towers you'll have things in place and it won't matter.

Thanks Sean. Unfortunatly, I cant see it at work. I will have to wait until I get home.

And if so, your power center should have an l.e.d. light to indicate if ground is present.

Not a problem D. I didnt wake up till 11:11pm and was late for work. And yes the Extension cord does have a three prong connection and the light is on.

Rich

Sorry I didn't have a Clearer and More Definitive Answer for you,Rich.
I hope you Do find the Answer to your Question.

Again my Apologies for the Lack of Information In My Earlier Post.

Good Morning,Mike,My Friend

I Hope work is Going Smoothly For You.

Good News in Hearing that Both your Extension Cord and Monster Power Center both have Grounded Connections.
Did you Have a chance to Unplug the Fridge from the Powe Center ?

Hi Mike.Sorry to hear you Overslept a little this Evening,Hope that didn't get you in any Trouble at Work.

The ECPP stands for the "East Coast Polk Posse".
I am not 100% sure if Don,Aerodude,or JohnnyPie came up with the Name and Abbreviation.
But Don,Aero,Forsberg,and Myself are the Original 4 Founding Members.

I am not sure how many members there are now,but it did grow some.

Basically it was for Owners of Polk Audio Speakers.Or in a Few Special Cases;Previous Owners of Polk Speakers.

Well I am thrilled you got it Moved.
I guess you didn't have a chance to Watch a Movie.I was wondering if you did watch a Movie,if the Power Center "Kicked Off" anymore.

And did you go to check on the rubber angled door stops and the 6 to 8 inch wide piece of wood ?
Good thing about the wood,is if you buy a piece at a Home Improvement Store,they will cut it to size at NO additional cost.

And I had forgot to ask you this Previously.Did you Pick-Up the 15th Anniversary Edition of "Stargate" ?

Not a Bad Name either.
And the way things are going,More and More Members are Getting Projectors.

And after getting mine running I see why.
I mean it looked good on a $4.99 Wal Mart Sheet thats hanging on my wall with Thumbtacks.

I cant imagine how much better it will Look on an Actual Screen.I Imagine it will be a Huge Improvement.

I took some SHEET-Shots but,like always with my pictures, they didn't turn out half as good as the image actually looked.

But I was able to get it to project @ 80 inch Image. Pretty Big Change when you are used to looking at a 37 inch LCD TV.

No, I didnt have a chance to go anywhere today. After i was on the computer for alittle while and after i moved the fridge, I passed out. I do plan on going either today or tomarrow.

As for the Stargate 15th anniversary, I did pick it up but it was a very frustrating trip. First let me explain that i had preordered that and the Star Trek gift set on BB.com to take advantage of their 30% off blu deal they had going on. It only counted on pre orders and regularly priced blus, not new releases. So i go to the counter and they tell me that its not available yet. I said well it came out today, You should have it out on the floor already. She said hold on and talked to someone on the phone. She then said that they would have to pull it out from inventory. I was like well I can go get it from the shelf if thatll make it easier. She said, no it had to be the one they had on the order. So i waited for ten mins. Then she said that only one item on the order was ready. Thats when I said that well thats because one of the items doesnt release until november. I have one item ready now. Then she said oh I see. I was furious! She then said that they couldnt find it and that i could go look for it if i wanted to. I went right out there and found it. Walked back to the counter and they said oh look he found it. I got my reciept and left. That by far was the worst In Store Pick Up I had ever experienced there.

Thats great Todd! I am happy you got that going. And also that your dad let you have the shelf.

Yes it drives Me Crazy.I dont understand how some members can take pics that look better then Life.And the ones I take look like they came from a 19 inch Black and White Tube TV.

And Thanks for the Kind words and Thoughts tbizzle.

I just got everything up and running yesterday.
I threw in 2 Blus just to get a feel for the Picture Size and Quality.It Really Gives it that Home Theater Feel and Look.

I will watch my First Movie on it today.A Gift from 2 Great Forum members Forsberg and Aerodude.

My Nephew is staying the Day because School is Out.And I took him to see this Movie at the Theater this Summer.

So I will remove the Plastic and Put In the Wal Mart IMAX Version of "Revenge of the Fallen"
And my Nephew is Honest and will tell you Just What He Thinks About Something(He's Only 11 yes old)

So I face my Toughest Critic Today,He Loves how My System Sounds.So Now I am curious to Hear How Much he likes how the Picture Looks.
