I have gotten many emails regarding my Hide your noisy Xbox 360 in your basement, Watch it in your bedroom post.

This post is just a follow up with images, taken after pulling the Cat5E wire from the basement to my attic and back down to my bedroom.

The image quality is not the best as the digital camera seems to live in my wife’s purse, so iPhone snapshots will have to do for now.

In this basic guide I will show you how I put the noisy Xbox 360 that kept me up at night, in the basement on my equipment rack.

Parts List:

  1. Xbox 360 with HDMI Output ( You can do this with component or composite cabling as well but you will need to source different wall plates.)
  2. Monoprice HDMI over CAT5E/CAT6 wall plates
  3. Cat5E or Cat6 Cable, I also suggest Monoprice.com for this as well.
  4. IR Extender.  For this the choice is your but I happen to source a few from eBay, they arrived in about 7 business days from Hong Kong and work great.
  5. Some time to pull cable through your walls.

Basically the install went as follows.
