From my fireplace design thread (where you all did friggin brilliant work helping me with things) I have decided to go with a wider chase. This means that my original method of hiding wires in the wall and using standard wall keystone plates is no longer viable.
Instead what I would like to do is use a keystone "strip" that is less obvious. A picture first:
Disregard the older design... it's not what I'm using. I just did this one quickly to have a reference for mantel shape.
The plan for now is to hang the TV over the mantel and the A/V stuff inside the cabinet on the right. Future plans include the possibility of a projector with a retractable screen. That way, when I'm not watching TV, the whole sexy chase is in view instead of being blocked by a big black screen.
What I'm looking for is a keystone system that uses a skinny strip instead of a rectangular wall plate. I have a few 1U keystone strips, but they are way too long. I have about 10" to play with. I want to install it in place of one of the stones, painted like a stone, so that it looks kind of like a stone with ports in it for the A/V stuff. I would take out the stone indicated by the blue arrow and install this A/V stone in it's place.
The customizing, I can handle. Between me and my creative friends at the theater, the artistic part is covered. I'm just looking for some kind of modular system that I can start with.
Only thing I've found so far is this:
