Awesome, and one of the best parts is your wife green lit this project, she's a keeper!
Going to have a animated R2D2 greeting people?
Great Googley Moogley! That is what I call a setup. That is some impressive wiring and equipment setup.love:love
Wow, I wish I could do something like this at my house... Great work!!!!
Mike made it a point to pester me about you having new pictures up. Dude, you're making me look bad. I haven't even started moving stuff out of my nerd room....
Man, the pictures of the back of those racks made me a little light-headed! Wow! I love that kind of stuff and have worked with those kind of racks in the past, but haven't seen one in years. Excellent cable management and routing!
Are you going to to leave the basement window exposed? I see that you have an egress window there, and was wondering if you planned on hinging a panel to swing open from it or leave the entire window exposed?
Very exciting to see this come together. Loving the WIP pics!
The window will have two covers with magnets on them. I wanted to dress the window up, paint the inside of the window-well, but still have it available to open, as well as emergency exits. (I have been entertaining the idea of posting some sign that reads "in emergency pull panels")
A bit late now, but what about making the window cover look like the entrance to the escape pods? A bit of symmetry there don't you think?

Well, it's not totally too late, as I said before I'm making a lot of this up as I go. Do you have an image or two of what your thinking? Do you mean the droids looking out the window, or the door leading into the escape pod?
My original thought was the door of the escape pod. However I'm trying to recall if that actually looked distinctive enough that folks would "get it" without you having to stencil "ESCAPE POD" on it. I'm trying to use my google fu to overcome my fuzzy memory, but no luck so far! (Google, why have you forsaken me?!?! :cry)
Now I'm going to have to break out my video and see if I can get anything from it that would allow me to offer actually constructive ideas.
