Finally, after months of blood, sweat and tears (actually, money, elbow-grease and soda!) it' s finished (almost)

Behold...







Yes, the cords need to be dealt with, and the 360 is noticeably absent from the top shelf of my component stand, but there it is!

Last night we watched War of the Worlds! Awesome!

Enough said.
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Who the hell puts their porn out in the open?! My porn is hidden away in the closet, where it belongs!

Fair enough, but seeing as how my screen is 133 inches diaganal, you could sit approximately 4.16 meters away and get the same effect!

..... i read somewhere that, porn is the single most important driving factor behind most advances in Audio, Digital and Communications technology....

....it would also appear to be the same for home entertainment systems!

Impressive Chee Saw, nice big screnn anyway, to get a decent picture on that that projector you got must have cost a bundle!. No surround sound? in the pictures i cannot see any speakers in the couners of your room so.. you need it. Nice job, you need to tuck away those wires, and everything else is fine.

I am doing the same thing, but low budget, projector [home made, not sure if it will work tough] and all, i should get back to doing it..
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

How about a 23 foot wide screen instead?

Click

The link only seems to work in Firefox. Otherwise you get the front page of the site and not the room pics. Firefox kicks ass.

It took me to the front page with firefox, IE, and opera. It must have some cookie or something saved on your browser. Firefox is an excellent browser, but Opera is better. IE is trash.

About $8000

The projector is a Sony VLP-HS51. The MSRP is $3500 but you can usually find it for about $2500 online. I got mine for just under $2000 on Ebay.

I do have surround sound. The front and center channel speakers are built into the screen! It' s the DaLite Acoustic Imager. The surround sound speakers I have placed in more of a rear position, on top of my dvd rack. I want to upgrade to 7.1 (found the surround sound speakers being sold separatly on only ONE website!) but I can' t afford to spend any more just yet.

I' m renting the house, so I didn' t want to run wires through the walls (which I DID consider, though). I got some wire ties, though, so that should help.

As a matter of fact, I have been looking for roomates for about 4 months!! It' s been tough, and still very little as far as leads go.

Impressive Cheesaw - does such a LARGE screen account for a lack of something else?

That' s my dream, too ...to have a HUGE screen for my entertainment room!

What am I saying...I still need to get an entertainment room!

Of course!! A life!

Thanks for the praise guys, and yes mxpx182, PD0 looks damn good on it. The only disappointment I have is playing DVDs. I mean, high-definition tv looks AWESOME on it, but DVDs have such a low resolution, that it doesn' t look as good. Can' t wait for HD-DVDs!!

I' m also glad I got that chaise-sofa instead of theater style seating, because I would' ve only been able to get a three-seater. As it is, I regularly have over about 6 or 7 people on Wednesdays and Thursdays to play video games and watch movies. That' s the only reason I haven' t taken the futon out of there yet. Someone has crashed on that thing EVERY TIME!
