Annoyedness: Component switch boxes are GARBAGE
Cybertronninoid | 6:31 PM on 03.07.2008 2 comments


FINALLY I can enjoy all my consoles in the best resolution possible...or so I thought. I have Monster cables for 3 consoles, S Video for the SNES. A component for the PS2 and the one that came in Today for my original XBOX I have the standard cables for Gamecube and 360 though at some point I'd like to upgrade the 360 to a monster cable too.

Now also I got the PS2 nights but I couldn't play right off the bat becuase of the mess in my room. See I had trouble fitting the cable into my switch box so I had to disassemble everything while I was at it I figured I'd take care of the cord tangle as well so I took EVERYTHING out and also rearranged my set up. An hour later everything was neat now time to hook everything up. Signal for 360, Fine XBOX nothing, PS2, Nothing Gamecube, Nothing I checked the cables again nothing....then I put each cable in 1 by 1 and I set up my XBOX for HD. PS2 is fine cube is fine....my selector box was dead.

now the moral to be learned from all this. RCA and Pelican switch boxes are garbage. For now I'm confined to just my 360 becuase I don't want to risk damage to my TV or the cables by yanking them in and out when ever I want to play something.

So my Nights Dreampack sits and waits. Waits for me to get a switch box that doesn't suck.

Suggestions?

I've got a pretty good one at home, (only 4 inputs though) and since its a mechanical one, you have to get up everytime you want to switch but thanks to this the bugger doesn't use any electrical power either ( just good old elbowgrease )...

I'm at work now, but if you want you can send me a PM and I'll reply sometime tonight when I'm home again...

4 inputs is all I need. My TV has 2 so my cable goes in directly.
