They are really pretty helpless. 6 guys that literally cannot load staples in the their staplers. I do their computer work, but never turn down any extra work they ask of me.

They asked if I could mount the 55 inch plasma tv on the wall in the conference room, hide all the wiring, setup wireless mouse and keyboard. There was no electrical on that wall. Took me about 5 hours to find all the parts needed, get everything mounted, then fire up netflix and watch a movie.

I like playing with it, pretty cool.

Despite not being able to do anything on their own, they quite picky. I was pretty happy with how it came out. They plan on getting a shelf to go under the tv, the wires will be passed through the shelf to the computer. Once it is all done, it will be really impressive.

They had tv mount and computer used in a closet. The wireless mouse and keyboard, all the wires, the track molding, face plates, and all the bolts holding the tv wall mount together and on the wall is new.

WE got a 32 inch in the office the other day. The customer just wanted to get rid of it. If it is repairable, I am thinking about bringing it home.

sweet, i hope it works.
i had 19" flat that was good, then i was given the idea to hook my hdtv up to the pc.
took a little bit to find the right screen res, and it was WoW.
went dvi to hdmi, and connected the spdif cable for sound to the tv.
my god the detail and colors in warcraft 3, C&C 3, sim city 4 and it is not heavy on the eyes.
i will say it was one of the best upgrades i ever did.

Don't know if you know, but my Dad owns a tv repair shop. The customer said if the 32 was over $120 to repair we could have it. I am hoping it is, LOL.

I have a HD 42 inch projector, but it looks like crap viewing stuff off the computer.
