Well in that case I suggest a bigger roll, likely 1000ft or more. Shouldn't be more than like 40 or 50$. But if you're running them through the walls, you're right, cat6 would be the smarter move. This is almost exactly the kit I bought but it comes with a neat carrying case and those blue ethernet connector covers. You should absolutely get and use a cable tester like the one in this kit, if you're running wires through your wall the last thing you want to do is run them and then find out it was wired incorrectly or doesn't work for some other reason. Also always give yourself at least a foot more than you think you'll need so that if you mess up stripping the wires or something you have a couple more tries. But it takes surprisingly little practice to get good at.

I wish you good luck, mate. I also recommend running a good HDMI, USB and power extension cord for a Vive (also works with Oculus) if you ever plan on using that room for VR. Since you're already in the walls, it would be a smart time to do it. Only real advice there is to put a nice sleeve over the power wire because it's surprisingly small in diameter. Quick edit: Here's an outlet cover plate you could use for VR wires.

Great list!
just placed an order for the Instamorph, I can think of a lot of things I can use it for.

another good thing to keep handy is JB Weld, it has saved me countless times.

This looks like a good way for someone to get hurt by knocking the phone free and having it smash their feet.

A new phone is like $9 on amazon man.

I think they sold a version with a remote control aswell. The AT PSU is alarming though as it you're pretty much got an firebomb there.

Physics doesn't care what you have on hand, 10W+ from USB just isn't going to happen.

These aren't too big and SLA is by far the cheapest route. It would run the Pi and screen for hours on a charge.

Run the Pi on something like this.

I'd wire it to a lighter plug and then have a socket connected to the battery, that way you could just unplug it and plug it into the car.

I would be interested in trying this with something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Dubro-Products-Du-Bro-Standard-Clunk/dp/B0006O4HWC/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1420668890&sr=1-2&keywords=clunk

It's labeled as nickel plated to prevent corrosion.

(inspiration came from /u/dalgeek's post about R/C planes)

Like this: one cable

Or this: needs m/m rca cable only

Or this: just the adaptor you made

and for giggles: you only need the m/m phono cable

Just buy this they work perfectly https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BUN79K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1QmMAbMBX5AQT

I'm very fond of these; Netgear GS108

Bulletproof reliability and a very reasonable price. Pick one up on AmazonUS for $22 plus shipping

Does your computer have a power passthrough to run a display? Most modern computers don't, but on the off chance it does you could use one of these.

Otherwise, you could try one of these, they're 12VDC, and all you'd have to do is splice the right connector on so it could connect to the P/S output.

You can get larger sealed lead acid batteries, which don't need any maintenance or ventilation.

Something like this, though I don't know what capacity you need: http://www.amazon.com/EnerSys-Genesis-NP18-12BFR-Connector-Retardant/dp/B0002ZR68M

Amazon. Compatible cards are surprisingly plentiful.

I got you! (I don't know if this is it)

>(A replacement AT power supply was quoted by their vendor at like $1,200, because no one has made them for 15 years and industrial tool parts suppliers know when they've got lock-in.)

Boy is somebody going to be pissed...

Reminds me of my first 802.11G router from Netgear.
