Upgraded Cinema room to HD

Just finished off my upgrade to HD thought I'd post a few piccies


This is the front of the room and where the screen drops down in front of


like this (its a 7ft screen, room is 8ft wide)

To the left we have the sub woofer left speaker on top of which is the Japanese imported Alien Head. On top of the sub woof is the Galen Head from planet of the apes definative collection.



To the right we have my linux media server which also runs my security camera system. On top of the right speaker is the I Robot head



This is a piccie of the linux server (yeah I know its just a box )



running down the left wall are my CDs and Games. On top are the various Lords of the Rings and other box sets -ET, Star Trek Videos () Hammer House Monster Legacy etc



The left side rear speakers


Right Side rear speakers showing some film cels above the door


Right wall showing my film cells from the warner brother special edition sets


behind the sofa on the left hand side is the equiment rack


This consists of the Onkyo 905 amp, Pioneer DV600 SACD, DVD-Audio and 1080p upscaling player, Tosh EP35 HD-DVD, PS3, XBOX 360, and Pioneer CLD925 Laserdisc player

I have a 240v dimmable light fitting (IR controllable)


At the rear of the room is my disc collection


this is a small selection, and if you look in the 3rd shelf down you can see that there are two layers of discs I have about 1100 dvds with about 55 hd discs now.









this shows the full dvd collection and the JVC HD-1 projector mounted on the ceiling

Re: Upgraded Cinema room to HD

here are a couple of (imo crap) piccies of some images. The first of batman was taken during the day. There is a red line down the right side where the sun still gets through the windows as the blackout blind doesnt quite cover the whole window Its more noticeable in this picture - in real life you get used to it.



The 2nd picture is at night in ideal viewing conditions as is from king kong. Forgot to do a blu-ray one.

Loving the room, equipment and collection, well done mate!

Re: Upgraded Cinema room to HD

Thanks, I've been building the collection for a good 10 years although far too many double dips The laserdiscs are under the center speaker too - only place I have room

Still need to tidy the cabling up, but now that its all in and working I can get that all sorted. I have a few pictures to put up too (Framed signed Stargate posters)

And I need to refill the beer fridge too

And I've now noticed all the film cels need straightning - bloody Earthquake!

Re: Upgraded Cinema room to HD

Nice setup and great DVD collection. I love the movie odds and sods. Thanx for making my cables look tidy, Mrs Rig is always at me to tidy mine up I'm in the process of deciding what setup to have for my livingroom but will need to makes sure my cables are hidden before I get the go ahead.
