Ghetto wall mounting solutions?

Most plasma mounts I have seen are very easy to install. Mine took about 30 minutes and you could probably hang your body weight from it.

Do you have an AC outlet below the panel? This product is a quick and easy way to get AC up to the panel as well as your AV wiring: http://www.panamax.com/products.cfm?...il&id=221&ly=h There are several versions of that one, and other brands too.

No kidding, they are proud of that one. I think it is more like $225 online. However, it can be done for 80% less with a quick trip to Home Depot.

You might give Radio Shack a try too...

Damn...Thanks! However, I should have asked this question years ago..

That would have been perfect, but I dont want to have to knock a wall down or something to route wires like in the pic..

I dont think I have a choice concerning running the power and component wires outside of the wall, so basically I'm just looking for the best way to "hide" them. What are those white skinny boxes that run along the walls in offices to hide telephone wires and stuff? If they came in different sizes, that might work...

Even if you do decide to go with one of these boxes, you shouldn't have to knock a wall down to install it. You should be able to snake wires through the wall. That can be a challenge though if you're not experienced, but a decent electrician should be able to do that fairly quickly and easily. Personally, I'd invest in the electrician and a similar solution to those boxes before spending money on conduit - which isn't all that clean-looking either... GL!
