my gaming room

at last got my ae 2000. just waiting on my beamax a velvet screen should be here by tomorrow.i will post some screen shots when i get it up and running.

very nice johnny, what do you think of it ? Thought maybe you'd got a new toy when I went past yesterday lol.. Will be interesting now as I've went 1080p as well and comparing the two.. :thumbsup:
 
Forgot to add, did you end up with a fixed screen or a roller ?

yes mark it sounds a lot better because its down firing. fills the room alot more and nearly twice the size of the tannoy.:)
 
Nice elegant set-up there. Almost the kind of approach I've gone for sans lighting and brighter colours.
 
thanks chester- what is sans lighting ?
 
Well, there's not much that myself and the Mrs can do to the place because we don't own it, so the kind of things I won't buy are fixed features, including lighting. So that's why our lounge doesn't have scene or feature lighting (hence the expression sans lighting), but it does have some really nice lamps!
 
Johny congrats man thats a lovely looking set-up you have there mate :thumbsup: Bet you are loving that screen and the 1080p goodness!! I'm sure the xbox is a pretty sweet experience. :devil:
 
Forgot to ask how does the harmony 1000 integrate into the set-up, will it power up and down the pj? I am thinking of getting the harmony one at this stage.
 
Hi Jonny - did you ever get your blue rope lights fitted?

Also - can I ask your room dimensions?
 
thanks ash, yes gaming on an 83" screen is sweet i would say that my room is used 90% for gaming online.as for the harmony 1000 it is a good bit of kit and works all the gear well as in turning things on-off and switching the amp to the correct inputs etc.but to be honest i never realy use it,i always seem to lift the original remote for some reason.
 
Lovely room and a really class setup, looks awesome mate.
 
hi paul t , yes mate i did buy the blue rope lights from b&q some time ago but when i put them up they looked more aqua green than blue so brought them back.i think i will just stick with the ones ive got as it gives the room a more cozy feel.i was thinking of changing the spots to blue instead havent made my mind up yet :confused:
