Wiring 2.0

This is the AFTER picture. You can't even imagine what it looked like before. I also damaged one of my optical cables. There is still light coming through but the fiber has been cut or split because the signal has been scrambled and the receptor can't reach it. Optical cables are expensive and fragile. I tried to be careful but the broken cord is the one that feed through the wall from my desktop in the office to my optical switch (the silver thing on top of the multiplexor) so it must have been pulled too vigorously, a problem I've had before. The cords slung over the top of the cable box are those that connect to the HDTV. I was able to shorten some of the cords but for the most part I had to use the standard 4, 6, and 10 foot cables I already had. What I wouldn't give to have devices that were "All Optical" compatible. Even the Onkyo devices where everything can be connected with 1394 would be all right. So that was One Gamecube component cable, one Gamecube audio cable, one Xbox advanced A/V component video cable, an optical cable for the Xbox, one coaxial cable to the cable box, left and right rca from the cable box to the multiplexor, component cables from the cable box to the multiplexor, cables from the multiplexor to the stereo, one optical cable for the cable box, left and right rca for the DVD changer, one digital coax cable for the DVD changer, s-video backups, power cords, optical cable from the computer, optical cable from the switch to the stereo, 5 speaker wired, one digital coax for the subwoofer, and on and on.... I was mentally pooped after thinking all that through. Next weekend I go in with the twist ties and clean the bitch up.
