Uneekor or Skytrak? Starting my garage take over

It's mounted between the garage rails, high and out of the way. This allows for a shorter hdmi cable to the projector and connection for the uneekor as you stated. I made a mount with some 1x1 metal tube and some bolts as a pc rack. You have to make sure your pc will fit between. A white shelf board was placed between the rails to hide/hold UPS, lights, cables, etc.

If anyone asks... There are some additional fans cooling off both of the 10 meter active displayport cables. It's a bit odd, but they get super hot and fans help. I would get dropouts on the main monitor from time to time and noticed that if a dp cable was unplugged for a bit then reinserted, the monitor would work for a while. Cool the metal plug housing and everything worked with the garage temps well above 80 degrees.

Ceiling mounting the PC is a great idea, well done

Will, thanks for the response. Absolute great idea. I have an electrician scheduled for next week to add a ceiling outlet for the projector and was going to have him run an HDMI/Ethernet line behind the ceiling and down a side wall to connect to the PC, but this option may be better.

A couple of follow up questions:

For your 2 monitors/TVs, are you running an HDMI from the PC to where they are mounted, going wireless, or something else?

Is the power switch where you connect the PC / Projector/ and or Uneekor controlled by an on/off switch?

Any other pointers related to wiring a UNEEKOR setup (cameras, light for cameras, UPS, etc) I should be aware of? I’m trying to plan the wiring and get the parts I’ll need to make the best of the electrician’s visit.

Thanks!

Two 33 ft (10m) fiber optic active displayport cables carry the 2160p video signal to the two additional monitors. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V7NOST8..._7R0OFb0395A4A

One hdmi goes to the 2160p projector. All three cables plug into a 2080ti graphics card. It runs hotter than I'd like.

A spotlight and the uneekor qed has a $10-$20 remote outlet plugged into a ups. I turn them off when not golfing. https://www.lowes.com/pd/PRIME-White...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

The white board placed overhead as a tray really hides a lot of wiring away from view. Having an uninterrupted power supply for the computer, projector, and several lights is really convenient overhead. I also placed some philips hue lights (hue play) pointing outward toward the ceiling to cast the current sky color of the game's current view unto the ceiling.

Wire duct is a great product for these kinds of projects. I measured and installed a bunch and it just cleanly handles all of your cable routing needs.

@ Will This is fantastic. You gave me several great ideas to think about. Much appreciated!
