Media Center Update - World's Cutest A/V System

Raspberry Pi Media Server on Top of Miniature Stereo Amp 

The media center described previously is up and running on 12V and 5V power. We can now be off the cord dry camping on BLM land, or in the corner of a Walmart parking lot, and enjoy a movie.

The media cabinet was wired with 12V co-ax plugs that now power the LED TV and the little audio power amp shown in the photo under the Raspberry Pi media server. Similar to the communication cabinet all the 12V and USB power outlets are wired into a master switch to make sure we don't leave something on by mistake. Turn off one switch and all devices are off.

The stereo power amp drives a pair of small, inexpensive but surprisingly good sounding book shelf speakers that sit on the 'kitchen' counter. They are a significant improvement over the speakers used with the entertainment system that came installed in the trailer.

Yes, that is a dime leaning against the amp to give a sense of the size of the components.
