The Cozy Theater 2.0 has started too!!
before & after:
~ my poor man's Bluray changer & whole house media distribution info/setup starts @ page 7~8 .
ok, after some planning and thinking, I finally decided to build a dedicate home theater using a small area in the basement.
I live in a townhouse, so space is a premium to me! the room/basement_area size is only 12'x15' with a 8' ceiling, and is currently used as my home "computer lab".
EDIT:
what I want is a nice home movie theater that I don't wanna go out anymore but doesn't make me rob a bank neither!
here's the equipment list that I already have or have it in mind:
Epson HomeCinema 1080UB projector
100" Elite CineWhite screen
Yamaha RV-X1800 receiver
Definitive Tech speakers (2 x BP7006 , C/L/R2300 , 2 x BP1.2X , SuperCubeI )
HTPC client
PS3
Wii
Xbox360
Panamax power conditioner
a low profile A/V center, got it from BestBuy
a comfy L shape sofa, prefer a reclineable one ( got it from Ikea )
Lutron Mateso IR remote lighting
Logitech 1000 remote
Logitech PS3 adapter
a Disc storage cabinet, also from Ikea
here's the SketchUp rendering that I have in mind.....
the last one is the closest thing to the real world.
I thought about cut out a hole and build a A/V rack on the side wall to left of the screen next to the entry door. however, there's a storage room behind that wall and has some water piping right along the wall! so I gave up that idea and go for just a low profile A/V center instead (and save some $ too).
also, I'm not rich nor have a huge budget. therefore, I'm trying to do what I want to do with the least amount of money too (but not necessary being cheap or cutting corner)! currently projected budget in mind, around $10k.
