Is that a diy projector in the middle? if so, that one of the nicest ones I've seen yet.

also, what type of panel speakers are those on the corners?

Very nice theater, btw

Yes its a diy one. The panel is a Sharp 1920x1200.

Here is a link for the Speakers. Unfortunately all in German. I got them from a friend who was working with the developer (very cheap)

Sure. They are 50 Watt 220 Volt GU10 Socket bulbs. I used the 220 V version instead of 12 V due to the face that they can be dimmed. You see what I mean in the Videos. This way I can gently take down the lightning using a remote, before the film starts.

I am sure you will get this bulbs in a 110 Volt version for the states somewhere.

Here is a link. I got mine from ebay:

Number 230157313156 on ebay.de.

There are 6 blue neons around the field. If you mean the silver stuff, that is the aluminum foil, that is used to store food. I just put it together and then gently unfoled it to get the effect.

Today I put a new rack into the room. I bought it on Ebay for around 100 €. I considered that as top of the "rack budget". The seller was a little crossed. When I asked him for the matter he told me, that he had paid like 2700 € for it and he was expecting something around 700 € at least, I was smiling

The three granite plates are very thick. It is weighing around 90 kg. ( My back hurts! ) Color is black pearl.

I have to say it is nice. The 100 bucks were well spend

I still have to sort out the cables and the extra carpet I put under it to save the real one.

This one is for the HTPC and consoles plus I need space for all the turntables.

Regards

*edit: how to get the picture in the text box? Thanks!

ericeash · 08-16-07, 08:44 PM

looks great, you've got some really neat ideas. i'm using the same case for my HTPC, now get that thing some guts!

eric

AirPlus · 08-17-07, 03:57 PM

Ty.

The hardware you saw in the vid actually had to leave the HTPC. I now have a 775 Board with an Intel 6750 and an ATI 2400 pro. Combined with a passive Silverstone power supply you have a nice and quiet PC even with the boxed cooler.

Here are some pictures:

Regards

zapster · 08-20-07, 09:44 PM

Very very cool!

AirPlus · 09-01-07, 09:53 PM

Ty.

Here are some projection pictures. You see on some of them, that I still haven´t finished my DIY projector. I didn´t have any motivation recently. There ist a black bar in the right corner. This is due to a constuction mistake. The ballast for the 575 lamp ist throwing a shadow. I have to sorte it out soon.

Pictures are taken from Kingdom of heavens , some games and Sony ads.

Here you find the pictures in high res ( I think you have to download them ):

AirPlus · 09-01-07, 09:54 PM

a few more...

Regards

AirPlus · 09-03-07, 08:28 AM

Here are some more projection pictures. The xbox shots are very bad, cause it is connected through composite to the receiver at the moment. This is bad, I know. Waiting for a YUV cable from Ebay.

Also check the different data rates for DVD and Blu Ray playback. Thats funny: DVD 4,9 Mbps and Blu Ray over 30 Mbps. ( rates are changing during playback ).

The second rack ist filled slowly... pitty its not the same hight as the first one.

AirPlus · 09-03-07, 08:29 AM

AirPlus · 09-03-07, 08:33 AM

Here is one from the receiver setup on screen, very nice option.

AirPlus · 09-03-07, 09:40 AM

Seems I really am to stupid to get the pics in here. I click on the "Insert Image" button and enter the URL. in this case: http://picasaweb.google.com/AirPlus0...55706160446018

Why is the picture not showing up?

Am I missing something?

*edit: OMG that was easy. Just do not take google as the storage. BTW: Thanks for all the help

Regards
