basement pics

[festivus]

Finally got around to posting a few pics. Took them with my phone so the resolution and clarity is bad. Lighting isn't good either. It's a theater so I didn't install tons of bright lights. Anyway, here they are:
This is the back of the main room.

This is the front showing the screen and the components under the screen. I had trouble finding a decent rack to put under the screen. This one is small and it gets hot. So I have a fan on it most of the time.

This is the projector. Mounted it with a universal purchased online. Works great. I run hdmi to it from my 622 and component from the dvd player and the xbox360. The built in shelf in the background covers the electrical box and the satellite wiring and splits. It's hinged and swings out for access.

Lastly is the side of the room with my "kegerator".

I'm really happy with the results. The rest of the basement isn't HD related so I didn't take any pics. Got a workout area to the right of the screen. Also got a room behind the screen with a 27 inch TV and PS2 for the smaller kids. The full bathroom is located down a hall to the left of the kegerator.

It's about 1150 sq ft total finished area.

Found a couple of better pics

Sweet. I actually just bought that projector and set it up last night. My CRT projector was giving me some issues and I've been too lazy to fix it, so I bought a new one and I got the Z5.

I thought I would share mine as well. I finished it myself and it took quite some time to do, but very rewarding.

Very nice, jpdublin. I have the same SI with Krenzel framed myself. Now, I don't have the other stuff that you have framed, that's for sure! Seriously, I would like to hang a lot more stuff but the wife isn't into it. We want to use the area for family gatherings and I'm still lobbying for more sports stuff. I have a piece of old Cleveland stadium that I'm just dying to mount on the wall.

I love the Z5, snodgrass. I read many reviews and it seemed to be the best for the money in an room with controlled lighting. The only hiccup that I've had with mine is that sometimes, when I power it down, the lens door doesn't shut. Maybe 1 out of every 5 times. Not enough of an issue for me to pull it down and send it in for repair though.

Nice. I owned a condo that wasn't 1150 sq ft total! (when I was single) :D

I guess I'll show mine off also:

Well, if I very clean it up and figure out how to up load pic. I'll do the same and show off my Man Cave.

Very nice, mikegodwin. Great choice in teams too!

Nice, mikegodwin. I like how you have a NES next to your tv.

Well mine is a finished lower level and not a basement, but I figured I'd jump on the band wagon anyway. :D

Damn Festivus that is a nice looking house, thinking about getting me a 92' projector, some nice speakers as well. What screen would you recommend?
