1/4 20 split wedge anchors into the brick with 2" 1/4 20 machine screws will hold a tank to the wall. Chopping the brick out with a long 1/4 " bit will be tedious but the hardest part will be running the av harness to the equipment rack. I would go rca 5 conductor rgb and left right video PLUS an hdmi cable and go to an av switch at the equipment. Many av companys use a right angle 12" extension cord to plug in a flat 360* plug into the wall.

i've got a skeleton floating t bar ceiling cloud with expanded metal tiles,
so everything is visible above the ceiling, and i've got a bruck LV halogen
light to mount over a desk... and no way to support the box that won't look
uglier than a mud fence... time to make something custom.....

Since the ceiling looks uglier than I mud fence (I hate metal ceiling tiles), I wouldn't sweat it. Call it part of the design.

I'm kinda surprised they didn't opt for the black felt on the backs of the tiles, to conceal what's above. Tackier still.

I can not believe someone would want that ugly ceiling in their otherwise traditional looking dinning room.

EEKKKK

i think its an office.

What is happening here, is the client wants something modern (but doesnt really understand modern), told their architect (who knows nothing of modernism or modern design) to make it modern, they consulted some catalogs and picked out items where they saw the word modern, and well we see the result.

They need to burn the hampton inn furniture and get ahold of a Topdeq catalog.

Think of the ceiling as the ultimate HVAC return grille.

here's the light going over the desk....

It took my brain several seconds to figure out what the heck I was looking at.
