for the garage, i have that unit that frank zimkus linked. I love it. I use it for a large 3 car garage and it does the job very nicely. Its connected to its own thermostat and is connected to the house's propane. Heats up the garage in no time. My father and i installed it in an afternoon. Hot...

i really appreciate all of the comments. I know that i need something on the screen wall to break it up a bit. I just worry that curtains wouldn't look right. Any pics of a good screen wall with curtains would be nice to see. If we sel and get a new house i will be starting this home theater...

Yeah, my wife and i did everything but the drywall hanging and drywall finishing. The ceiling and carpets are actually a lot darker than they look in the tour. Must be the flash or just that he turned all the lights all the way up for the pic.

Check out this link to a virtual tour of my house. we just finished/almost finished the basement and now we have to sell. Anyway I will be trying to do the theater again in a new house but i would appreciate some criticism. Let me know what you think. click "finished basement" on the virtual...

so i should just look around in the setup menu to try and align it that way?

Ok, I use my sharp xga projector for watching cable television as well as with my home theater pc. Problem is: when i watch the tv, the image fits perfectly on the screen (meaning its not off center), but when i switch to the pc, the image is like 2 inches to the right. How does this happen?

i think i understand but the video overlay part confused me. I want to be able to view them both simultaneously. Basically i want the second display to always show the computer display and the projector to show what ever input is selected. If i get a dual monitor video card will that output to...

my sony does. its an older model i'm using to run my bass shakers. Got the CD input changed to read "BASS SHK" thats why I asked if anyone knew if the denon's did it.

alright then sloan, how much will the project you detailed cost? Ballpark it for me.

I'm sorry I should of asked. Do you have a projector or a RPTV? My frames are on either side of my room and with the projector I do get a noticable glare. Chris white's theater has a RPTV and i beleive his frames are behind the couch and not on the sides of the room. Hope this helps.

i had a bad feeling this is the response i'd get. oh well, doesn't hurt to ask

since you brought up building inspectors i have a question: An appraiser i had that came out to my house told me that basements are not included in the square footage of a house. He said not unless the entire basement is above ground level, which most basements are not entirely above ground...
