Arite guys decided to take some pics of my media room, its still a work in progress but it functional.

The room is 17' x 17'
Benq W1070 projector
Benq ceiling mount
110" 16:9 neutral grey screen
Denon AVR E400 Receiver
Pioneer speakers (soon to be upgraded to overnight sensation MTM towers and center)
12" subwoffer
Dimmable led recessed lights and accent lighting
Fiber optic star field ceiling

The room is totally DIY either installed or built by myself (including the RBG led cannon for the fiber optics)
Still need to do a proper AV rack and upgrade speakers.

Real nice ziggy dappa. Very impressive that this is a dyi. Youve tempted me to take a few pics of my room. Not quite modern like yours, but more classic and simplistic.

Postin them real soon.

Ok I was just messing around. That is what i have in the bedroom. The setup in my 12x12 (approx) media room which i did over last november is:

TV: LG 42" LCD
PS3 as the bluray player
Receiver: denon avr x4000
Power conditioner: panamax mr4300
Room wired for 7.2 but i have a 7.1 speaker setup with:
Center channel: def tech procenter 2000
FL, FR, FHL and FHR: def tech promonitor 1000
SL and SR: def tech SR8040BP bipolar
Subwoofer: def tech supercube 2000
Logitech harmony with smart control as the universal remote.

Now we talking!!! Keep them pics coming! This is what a HT thread is about. Loving the setup ziggy. My towers would be a bit to big for that room, but would sound amazing!
The wife also wanted a projector setup in the room for her to watch Netflix n so. Looking out for a HDMI one on sale.

[ziggy_dappa]

No complaints at all with this w1070 it shows great and the price is even better compared to others in its class.
Once you can control the sunlight in your room a projector is a great option.

nice setup Carluva, sweet audio equipment.

[Chiney]

Linkkkkkk

Check out this website.

Real fine resource for everything you want to know about projectors.

They even have specs for different projectors and reviews.

http://www.projectorcentral.com

Just be careful when buying projectors with HDMI. Some are HDMI but for computer use only whereas others have HDMI for HT use. Some of the HDMI computer projectors usually wont work with a bluray player or receiver HDMI video out. I bought one for my wife with HDMI but that was specifically for a computer for multimedia use and i cant use it with my HT gear (not that i planned to anyway).

That website will cover all of that though.

[Chiney]

^^ great help!!
thanks!!

Painted the primer on...







After 2 coats we have this..it looks awesome in real. The primer brought it all together and hid the few perfections I was loosing sleep over

Always eyeing this DLP Projector

Optoma HD141X Full 3D 1080p 3000 Lumen DLP Home Theater Projector with MHL Enabled HDMI Port https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MK39P92/

It was $550.00 last month

I would recommend looking at a short throw projector for HT use. Measure the dimensions of the room you're going to use and head over to projectorcentral. Com and make sure the pj you choose will suit the room and screen size.

Excellent Projector... I got mine about a month ago...$499 on Ebay.

[Chiney]

My pride and joy... Gonna take a while with this to...I'm using gorilla glue..the foaming one...to expand and fuse with the mdf.... So that takes about a 24hrs to fully cure....i want this to last me a while... So since the inside is layered, I will seal the outside with the primer coats before I paint...hide the mdf from moisture.

[make meh care]

[wheelbarrow]

I like the star field idea Ziggy, where you got that?

[ziggy_dappa]

^^ You can get the complete kits to buy on ebay or amazon.\

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fiber-Optic-sta ... 3a8686dea6

They come with a fiber optic bundle (of varying thicknesses to give the effect of depth) and a light engine, basically you drill tiny holes through your ceiling an string the ends of the fibers through securing them with glue, after the ceiling is painted you just clip of the end to expose the bare fiber.
The photos I posted don't give a true view of it because of the camera in night mode.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Great stuff Ziggy!

[ziggy_dappa]

^^Thanks.

And if you are really adventurous you can DIY the light engine and spend the extra on more fibers

Parts can be easily found on Ebay.
