Budget Home Cinema

He he this isn't much of a home cinema but I'd like to think of it that way...

It's a 12 x 12 foot room with 2 windows (with shades), two full closets, 1 door, 1 bed, and my surround set up.

I won't post pictures because I am posting a link to my "Home cinema" web site.

Here it is!

http://home.comcast.net/~corvette.z06/homecinema/

Some day I will have a house with a dedicated room for a home cinema like all you cool dudes! (and cool equipment to go in the room!)

Post your comments!

Ryan

I think it's always cool when someone is excited about their setup and proud of it, whether it's a starting setup with tiny TV and basic surround sound to the full blown dedicated HC rooms.

I say good on you for showing enthusiasm and I wish you well in you journey toward home cinema dudedom.. hehe though you're already a HC Dude for sharing your room with us.

That's a good way of looking at it Thanks Tracey!

I added a leave me feedback button to fill out a form to contact me.

Added a poll.

Added a counter.

And might have changed a few other things small enough to not be mentioned.

Have another look everyone!

You might make some more room if you moved the car forward a bit. It's blocking the door opening properly.

Great little set-up. Projector next?

Gary.

Haha that's awesome. I was hoping to get another poster someday to fill up the other wall that the door is in--different poster of course. I love that poster. $30 US dollars (somewhere around 15 British pounds?) for a 10'4" by 4' bill board poster of your favorite car! Can't beat that!

Thanks dude!

Whoops forgot to mention a few things:

Next - new receiver.
Someday - a projector when I have a good enough job and have my own room designated as a home cinema instead of using one as my own bedroom.

I like your setup. Nice screen, good use of attik (spelling?) space. I would like to see how your seating will be--single chair or like a love seat? or mini couch? or theatre seating? hehe

Thanks again!

Ryan
