[QUOTE="Daniel Postilnik, post: 10910, member: 184"] My company is in the process of getting a Crestron-based system quoted for our main conference room. The table in that room isn't a typical executive table. It was custom built with a pair of pockets in the center with lids that open for access to multi-media cables. The problem we had was that the baluns behind the connectors that were installed in the pockets, converting the signal to Cat5, were poor quality so we had connectivity and image quality issues. Anyway the point is this - we visited the Crestron showroom and really liked their "Flip-Top" product with a retractable cable system. Take a peek here: [url]http://www.crestron.com/resources/product_and_programming_resources/catalogs_and_brochures/online_catalog/default.asp?cat=1021&subcat=1541&id=2515[/url] The only problem is that we need it without a lid because we already have a lid! The vendor has recommended that we "have a shop take the lid off" but I'm concerned the unit would get damaged cosmetically in the process. Is there a non-Crestron unit with similar functionality? Does anyone have experience taking off the lids of these units? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
