Now that I have listed it, I just realised it is a long list! Overtaking my DVD collection pretty soon, 100+. But I think it's still not as much as some people in XP!!! Wanted to start an account in Comgateway, but did not find the time, or forgot all about it. I have about 17 BRs in my shopping cart!!!
  5. But if he keeps buying... Overtake sooner or later!!! I stopped, as I need to start saving $$$! Only do as much as possible during the black friday sale. Which last year due to Borderlinx's change of address in between my purchases and the black friday sales, had cock up for the 1st time!!! I lost a number of BR super cheap deals because of it. But cannot blame anyone except self - forgot to check the address before hitting the order button! Ong, I think I got what I need to know, for now. Going for my holiday to get out of this heat!!!
  6. 2016 is not long... Earliest 2017 and with now delays as given in newspaper reports, I think mine will be 2018!!! Which is why I am abstaining from the BBB virus that Ong and Kim are spreading (from what I read from Kim's blog)!!! Not that I do not buy at all - I think I have more Blurays from what I see from Ong's collection (and almost all from Amazon US and UK site, with a couple from my trip to HK).
  7. Ok, forgot about the shielding part, so looks like via ground level is a good way to lay those cables. Your electrician is one hired by your ID I presume - They know what to do when you tell them you want to lay it this way? I have checked your cable layout, it looks pretty complicated with the turns (or was that only for the speaker cables? those in the pictures which showed some of the piping), so how do you replace/upgrade them in the future - tied the new cable to the old cable and pull the old cable from the patch side? So you can hack the walls to add in the points (and with the same number of cables that was there)? Er, I can't see the 2 point each room thingy from your plan as you have 7 points in total in the plan and you have 7 wires to the patch, so that sounds like only 1 room (study) other than the living area you have 2 points for LAN. So, could you repeat that again - how do you do 2 points when there is only 7 wires? I would have thought 14 points which would have gone beyond your 12 pts wall patch. I presume you would hack the wall (from the ground to the point which the wall plug will be) to place those LAN points? Ok, let me get this right. Your modem (from whatever source you are getting your broadband from) is at P1, which has a wall plug pt and a power pt affixed. Your modem LAN point is fixed onto the wall plug, which brings the connectivity to your 16 port router in your study room. The rest of the points P2 - P7 will then get the connectivity from this router which distributes the bandwidth among these (2-7) points right? So when you get your fibre TP fixed, it will be at P1, and the ONT from your fibre provider will be place at P1 in replacement of the current one, and the connectivity will be the same. Right?
  8. Hi, a newbie here. I have read a lot of t-blogs and reno sites and you are the only person that I know of that has hooked up with LAN ports in your new place. So I guess you would be the best person to ask about all these, and since you done your reno last year, should be very fresh in your mind... So I would appreciate if you would help with my queries in the pm that I would be sending soon. Great read on your place.
