I am very pleased with this box. It seemed a bit expensive for being a plastic box with holes and a door... but '\_('?)_/' it's ended up being worth it for me.
The "media center" was installed to serve as the "skull" to the "brain" of my home network. The real goal being to wire the whole house with cat6 ethernet. I went through the attic and used a 3/4" spade bit to drop one cable each into 3 bedrooms, two into the living room, and one out to a router providing wifi to a guest unit. The project took a few days but I've been very pleased with the result.
I used standard 2-gang boxes to house electrical for my two receptacles. This was a bit tricky and I definitely shed some blood battling with positioning the outlets. Luckily there was an electrical cable already in the wall I opened up and all I had to do was tap into it. The two blank outlet covers in the photos are where I spliced into the cable. Power to the left receptacle goes first through a light switch, this way the Wi-Fi can easily be turned on/off.
I used GTSE 0.35" wide screw mounts with Leviton push-lock pins and zip ties to secure my network equipment. The box nicely accommodated a surge protector, modem, wireless router, firewall, and switch.
Some lessons:
-If you want the hinged door make sure you choose this option when ordering. I accidently ordered the non-hinged model and had to return it.
-Measure 3x times and be conservative with your drywall cuts. You can always make the hole bigger but cannot make it smaller (very easily).
-Feel free to cut chunks out of any 2x4s in the way if your wall is non-load bearing.
-I used two lengths of extra 2x4 screwed into the drywall on either side of the hole to serve as mounts for the media center and reinforced these floating 2x4s with screws from the room behind the wall I was working on as well. I then used drywall screws drilled through the dimples within each hinge to mount to the 2x4s. . It fits well with our furniture setup.
