Got everything hooked up... Should all be ready tomorrow afternoon. (Glad I took a picture because I completely forgot that I need to get the TV's pictures tuned in)

Thanks guys, gotta make a run to Ikea to get the lights for the new TV's sometime this week (think it's one set for 39.95 which is more than enough for one T.V. If you look at the ceiling lights that whole row up there consists of 2 light sets and the whole thing is very easy to setup. The hardest part is making sure every light strip (I think it's 4 light strips per package) is evenly spaced out.

Thanks the only hard part of any of this is getting the mounts at the perfect spot so it fit in the box. The Lights are so damn easy I was pissed that I didn't do it sooner. Just go to Ikea and get the LED strip lights that are made for going under their cabinets (there are 2 different types of strips: Ones that have adjustable colors and ones that don't.... Pay the extra $10 and get the adjustable ones... My wife almost talked me into the white ones and even she said she was glad I didn't listen to her and got the adjustable color ones) they are just plug and play. Like I said earlier the only hard part is making sure the lights are even and pointed in the right direction (they come with 2 different mount types: sticky ones and ones you can screw into wood. You only need the screw in ones if you are mounting the lights so they are facing straight down (I learned the hard way and threw the screws away)
My wife found a pawnshop here that is selling xbox's (brand new and never used) for about $180 each. October 22nd that price will drop to $143 and will continue to drop until Feb 18th when it drops to $108 for a brand new Xbox.
the 2 TV's we got were around $300 each. (I got regular Samsung TV's because why do I need a smart TV when it's hooked up to an Xbox. You will most likely have to ask someone at bestbuy to find it in their inventory because they don't usually put them out on the retail floor.
The original Destiny game is only $8 each at GameStop when you use their club card. If you get brand new xboxs they come with a 14 day Xbox live card and a free game download.
The wife got the mounts from Amazon for about $40 each and they extend about 20 inches and will go flat if you can mount it in the right spot inside the cubby hole. (The ones we got only attach to one stud and can limit how far back you can push in the tv; one of my TV's goes all the way back and one doesn't but that's the wife's problem... I could care less lol).
The other thing I recommend is putting your router where every Xbox can be hardwired. I didn't try doing it on wifi
When it's all done it will have cost me under $1500 (not including what I already had before the project)
I got the lights atleast a year ago (yes I need two more sets at $40 each);
I had the center tv/Xbox for over 2 years (about, probly closer to 3 years)
Almost forgot. You will need two power strips with atleast 10 slots each. (I already had one but had to go to Target and get another one for $39.95 because I got the surge protector strips. (Do NOT daisy chain the power strips)
(if anyone needs help let me knoW; If anyone needs more detailed pictures for builds, I can do that as well)
