    FPTV vs RPTV

    Well, I bit the bullet and bought a used X1 from a seller here on the forum. The deal was just too good to pass up, so I took the "rainbow risk". Low and behold, I haven't noticed them yet on LOTR or the Matrix, so I'm pleased. Anyways, there is a company called data projections that is an X1...

    Check out this frosted flake!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah - my coworker is the one who found and discovered the monster flake. To top it all off (no - not with milk), he found a freak apple jack this morning too. The best part is, the local Nuvo magazine in Indy called him this morning for an interview. ROTFLMAO!

    Tipping in restaurants

    I do 15% across the board for waiters/bartenders/etc. The total goes up or down from there if there was exceptional or poor service. If I'm really honked off due to bad service, I leave a nickel/penny and a note so that the waiter/waitress KNOWS they failed.

    Lawn care advice: grubs

    If you DO have grub problems, use dylox 6.2G. My neighbor is a lawncare consultant (does work for the Indianapolis Colts' turf), and told me to use this when my entire lawn became infested. Those suckers were gone in a week.

    What's a good entry level front projector?

    May I suggest the Panasonic L-200U as a good entry level PJ as well? There is a great thread going on that one right now. Just bought an X1 here and am feverishly awaiting its arrival...

    Does anyone do pre-cut MDF circles?

    I've seen the pre-cut wood circles at HD and Lowe's as well up to 24". Price was ~$10 or so I think.... I used a Rotozip with circle cutting attachment for mine. Worked out pretty well, but I would have preferred the more powerful router for a cleaner cut all the way around. Anyways - it was...

    FPTV vs RPTV

    Well, I still haven't totally ruled out the X1. I'm also looking at the Panasonic L200U, Panasonic 300U and Sanyo Z1. Someone once suggested I might find a used CRT projector, but sheesh - those things are HUGE and HEAVY!!!

    FPTV vs RPTV

    Sorry for the slow response... Nope - haven't purchased the fp yet. I've had to travel a lot more lately, so my basement project timeline has been pushed back. And, I've determined not to buy the projector until a later point in the project when I can actually install and use it. That way, I...

    Home Depot and Lowes in my area (Indiana) sell sonotubes made by Quickrete... I think the largest diameter was about 15" though...

    FPTV vs RPTV

    Yeah - I haven't pulled the trigger yet on an FP. My room isn't ready yet for it, so I've put it off. I was 100% sold on the X1, but now that L200U + screen deal is looking pretty sweet. And, I think I may have problems with rainbows.... :frowning: Anyways, still sold on the FP - just a...

    Alsome deal at CC

    Bought my parents an Apex 19" a month ago. The TV's audio was screwed up (bad/blown speaker or something) so they exchanged it for another larger Apex model. They love it! So if you're using the built-in speaker, make sure it works :)

    DIY Tempest Sub Project

    Bought the Tempest driver today. Still putting design details together. I'm going to buy the sonotube as well this week if the rain holds off. I think purchasing the 2 flared ports may push me over the edge slightly on my budget. Plus, I'm going to have a difficult enough time making one...

    DIY Tempest Sub Project

    Thanks for all the great info! Sounds like bigger is better - even for ports! :) I did some quick calculations and discovered that I can't go over a 6" port without the port needing to be longer than the sonotube. So, it sounds like a 6" tube would be my next size of choice. I really...

    DIY Tempest Sub Project

    Well, I'm not 100% firm yet on the aesthetics. I'm thinking that it will become a table-like sonotube with a nice looking round wood top stained the same as my trim in the HT. It will have a matching stand and legs as well. I'm thinking of using material that matches the screen's background...
