so this my friends is going to be a pretty interesting little project this
is our new conference room boardroom
meeting room whatever it is you want to call it and up until now it has
basically had a chair that was left over from chair racing the built-in bench
seating that we talked about in some of the moving blogs a mini fridge and a
table in it but the table's pretty cool because it's going to allow us to Tech
out this room in a way that'll make it great for having meetings and looking at
projections and all that kind of stuff which is appropriate because we're going to be using a projector on that wall and
we are going to turn it into actually kind of a sick little gaming space so
come along for the ride as we pimp out our conference
room the master case 5 by Cooler Master gives you the freedom to truly make your
midtower PC Chase your own with a variety of modular parts and accessories
check out the link in the video description to learn more so it starts
with better seating we reached out to our buds over at Max nomic who actually
outf footed the rest of the office with chairs already and they are sending us
their slightly less gamery looking like there's no orange on them but definitely
comfortable office Comfort chairs to Kit
out the other three sides of the table that don't have built-in seating next up
Kara graciously sent us a project ctor screen and this thing is flipping huge
you know for uh so everyone can see those charts and projections in our
meetings and finally oh wow I just
dinged the wall that's okay we're going to put a projector screen
there and finally Acer's
h7550 St DLP projector is going to be
handling well projection duties this thing was sent to us a billion years ago
when I told Acer hey we're thinking about moving but we need a projector for
our new boardroom and they were like yeah but you just make sure you get the
video done in a timely manner now they didn't stay that last
part which is good because I didn't so this puppy's got three HDMI inputs one
of which is on the inside for a streaming dongle like a chomecast it's
even got a little USB power port in there it's got its typical power in and
we've got our power plug on the ceiling to go along with that but hold on a
second lonus what about HDMI you don't have an HDMI port in the ceiling do you
no I do not but I do have a pretty cool
table so to go along with the 3D glasses
yes we have a 3D projector for our conference room yeah they also sent over
their Wireless HD kit this is a 60 GHz
wireless HDMI kit that I am hoping will be low latency enough for gaming I mean
uh uh presentations so basically what you do is you plug your laptop into the
power ports that are built into the table the HDMI and landan ports that are
built into the table table and then we're going to have our transmitter on
the bottom of the table so you don't have to run any wires you just plug in
Bippity Bop and you are streaming hopefully in very low latency to the
projector so let's test it out shall
we so putting together the projector frame was pretty straightforward you
basically just screw the thing into the thing you put a couple of uh mounting
brackets for the wall rails onto it and
then you realize that Kara doesn't actually provide the screws for the wall
brackets themselves so because we're using metal studs here I am going to
have to either go find out if we have
any screws that are appropriate for mounting something heavy to metal studs
or I'm going to have to go obtain some of
them so we have obtained the tools we need a tape measure some metal screws a
drill some drill bits a level and a pencil
and now we need to figure out where exactly we are going to put it okay so
we have a tough decision to make center
for the area where people will be seating seated or Center on the
wall no legitimately Brandon what should we do I would go with seating Center for
seating this going to look weird though cuz we're going to have like 4 in of
space here and like and it won't even be centered it
still won't be centered so sometimes I
just need someone to say my idea back to me so I can realize how stupid it
sounds um I could really use a
ladder 4 in how about that okay sure 1 and 38
in from where you want the top got
it let's mark some studs hey hopefully
this piece of studfinder works it's working just
fine okay nothing is ever easy when you're
less and you write nothing down it's
okay because I remembered 103
and2 so getting all the frame mounting
hardware on the wall was actually pretty straightforward as long as you're pretty
handy with a measuring tape so basically the way it works is you've got your two
rails on the top end to end and then you
sit the hooks on the frame on top of that and then these bottom ones these
bottom ones are tricky because if you don't align it just right it won't work
because you might be thinking well hold on a second unless you slide it on how's
it go in there you actually have to stretch the
frame down under them then the whole
thing is hooked but of course now we have to take the whole thing down and
put the actual screen on because I just put it up here for a test
bit so we need to do this okay so the
clip for that is aimed for that t so the
process of clipping the frame working your way around the outside is what
iions the screen material and gives it a
nice flat surface so with the screen itself
tensioned and placed onto the back of the frame it's time to pick up the frame
again take it back into the boardroom and hang it for real this time so with
the screen stretched over the frame it was almost as easy to mount it on the
wall hangers requiring just a little bit more Force than last time to stretch it
over over the bottom hanger once it was on though it's pretty much flush against
the wall just a fraction of a cimet of
clearance around every Edge and looks pretty darn sharp okay and actually the
decision that we wanted to make earlier but whether to center it in the room or
whatever was sort of a moot point because you could slide in a fair pit
after the
fact
chair assembly was pretty straightforward nothing I've never done before took about 20 minutes per chair
and the end result is what you see right
here it is starting to look like a
boardroom in here but of course now it's
time to fire up the projector and see what the difference is between our
conference room and most conference
rooms all right there we
go not too shabby so projector alignment
can be a bit of a nightmare you Keystone when you should have Twisted you twist
when you should have moved it to the right you tilt it up when oh no you've
broken the Keystone now uh but I did
eventually get it pretty darn close to where we want it to be in terms of
filling the frame without cutting off things like the start menu a huge
disadvantage that people who intend to use their projectors for presentations
and Windows versus people who want to watch movies where you can sacrifice a
16th of an inch of the edge of a movie whereas you cannot really do that with
your start menu we got it to the point where it needed to be and then moment of
truth cuz quite frankly if you look at it in comparison to the screen running
on the table next to it and not that impressive yeah projectors They Don't
Really shine so to speak until you turn out the light and that is exactly what
we did and boy is it an experience in
here now okay you know what let me see if
anyone else is still here I need a few volunteers to play an Android game on
the gigantic projector upstairs yes quicker to train a monkey okay so
why is pickup skip the tutorial it
everyone everyone there we go okay freefor
all don't touch sticky bombs if you don't want to blow up you guys should
probably team up on Duck yeah so Taran
you're just going to throw mines until I just I don't know what to do wow there
are mines everywhere Jesus yeah no I'm uh I'm super pleased
with how this turned out oh wow everyone stay away from
Teran oh oh uhoh
yes okay so in a word that was freaking
awesome um but what we still don't know
is whether our wireless dongle will allow us to just plug consoles in down
here and have a low latency gaming experience up there once we ceiling
mount the projector at a later date so to validate the latency of the wireless
dongle I'm going to be using our tried and true Makey Makey test methodology so
I'm recording in slow-mo on the iPhone and then I'm going to use the Makey
Makey to touch these two wires together
generating a left click so I'm going to look at the delay between the light
turning on on the Makey Makey and the click registering on that icon
there so here we
go oh that's trippy hey you can see the uh
you can see the DLP color
wheel so the basic methodology for this
is I go frame by frame through the video clip there we go and I look for the
frame where the light on the Makey Makey
illuminates then keep skipping 1 2 3
4 okay there it is now it's highlighted
all right so looking at our results it looks like our wireless HDMI adapter
adds about 30 milliseconds of latency to
our input chain not too bad is it
perfect no but we're also not going to be playing you know competitive level
CSO on here as well so I am pretty pleased and I'm going ahead Full Steam
with the plan to run wireless HDMI and mount the projector on the ceiling
but let's suppose for a second you did not want to game with controllers well
good news for you because I have three
sets yes friends three complete sets of
Phoenix collection gaming peripheral so their their whole stick is like yeah we
got like really kind of Premium feels to the products here so check this out this
right here is the Arya headset and the
stick on this guy is that the acoustic chamber is made entirely of Japanese
Pinewood I don't personally know that Japanese Pinewood necessarily sounds
better but it certainly looks great so little something like that it's
got 50 mm drivers it's got memory foam and protein Leather Ear cushions and the
cushions are definitely definitely nice feeling right there it's got a
detachable cord the instructions for which are inside the box but there's
more than that yes each of these three lucky winners will also win an ACA 8200
DPI laser mouse one of those puppies right there a Deora mouse pad which I'm
going to have to open because I did not do that before this thing here yeah
there we
go yes friends it looks a little something like that and finally an aore
keyboard so this is featuring Cherry MX Brown switches my personal favorite as
well as silk screened key cap so it's a full 104 key layout just a little
something like that so you're probably wondering to yourself well hold on a second lonus how do I
