This is what I did to my dining room back in end of 2013 into 2014. Had a pretty epic Super Bowl party just after completion.
depends if you are looking at them from your phone or from a computer. i don't understand the why but some pics from smartphones when posted on desktops are rotated, i think it's a resolution thing.
OAN: you ever notice in threads like this when people contribute pics n shit, there's always those that talk the most but ain't posted a damn thing??

i def been talking a bit, but i posted mine in here years ago...if this is the same mancave thread. I need to update my cave. My Optoma HD33 projector needs a new bulb. I am thinking about sellig it and buying a newer model. That Optoma is nice though
naw u good dawg.
i was just noticing a trend where there'll be posts regarding an item or something where people are sharing and it will be niggas who will be on every page with comments talking shit yet can't post a simple pic... car thread, post a car same niggas there with nothing to show talking, post a thread about bikes, shoes, homes, hoes, whatever same thing....
Anybody else? I need more ideas
This is my basement I did three years ago. It cost a lot less than buying a monster 90" 4k tv as long as you do the research. I have a Epson 3020 projector ($1000) 1080p, an 120" Elite screen from amazon ($300), Pioneer Receiver ($300) soundcraft speakers in the wall and 2 in the ceiling, and a Polk Subwoofer ($100). My advice do not get the Epson 3020 which is out of production anyway, the iris is noisey as the seating is right below the projector due to space limitations. the whole project cost around 6k, that is including me redoing that entire side of the basement, sheetrock, electrical, and lighting. The cost of the equipment was only around $2500. the best advice I got was when you are running the HDMI cable in the ceiling, run 2 just in case 1 goes bad, you don't have to rip up the ceiling ot run new cables.

Nice set up!
Nice set up!
Thanks, almost everything except the screen and my G Matronix Android box was bought at Bestbuy, they were cheaper than Amazon. The Receiver I got on sale for 299, that was originally 499. It doesn't have the bluetooth but hey....no big deal.
nah man, this was 6k, and like I said the equipment $2500...just took my time. I did a lot of the work with a friend who does construction on the side. The only issue with the media room in the basement is that the projector is mounted to the ceiling so sometimes when people walk upstair their is slight vibration of the projector. Nothing major, but enough to get on your nerves after a while, but movies look amazing, and my kids have their friends over for movie night
Cool. It's just me , my wife and one kid and we're always together, so walking upstairs will not be a problem for our projector, except during thanksgiving lol.
This is a great source to do research

I modeled my basement after this guys video. My wife didn't understand my vision, but when it was done she got it
Same reason Sal didnt..
whatever info you need let me know. But if you d oit, you have to get an Android box. I have the G Matronix in the basement but have a Minix up in my bedroom. Though the minix is more powerful, I like the G Box better

Thanks very much!!
I built my own screen like that.
I used this tut and ordered my supplies as well. This is a great quality screen
Man I built my room for less than 10k including projector, surround, seating, decor, painting, and closing and light proofing the room (my room is upstairs...no basements in TX). You can turn it into a 2-3 week project for yourself and the wife. You will really appreciate your own hard work
Only thing I hate is that the room i used should have been 6-10ft deeper. Its really comfy though
here is mine from a thread I started a while back. I have to find the finished product photos as well. This is before i changed S/N

*edit*
here is a link with the screen up but before I had my seating

nice room. I agree about Epson. I have the Optoma HD33. I love it, plus it is 3d! and around $1500
thats a woman for you. my wife was pissed when i started knocking down walls. But, after the door and paint went up she was good.
