Oh man, just in case anybody is curious who doesn't already know...a home theater projector does in fact look surprisingly awesome on a sheet hanging on the wall if you've never seen it before...but build a screen for that bad boy (less than $50 in materials & like 2 hours of time) and WOW!! I...

I once had a couple guys in a white van flag me down on my way to lunch & try to sell me some "extra" home theater speakers they had in their truck because someone at the warehouse put 2 sets on the truck instead of 1 & they just installed the 1 so now they're going to sell the 2nd set to make a...

I second Jim's advice about the Optoma HD65, I just bought that projector & couldn't be more pleased with it. I found it new on amazon for a great price including a backpack & speakers that I'll never use (hey at least they're there if I change my mind though) and I'm ecstatic with the picture...

Work has been so insane this week that I haven't been able to get to home depot before they close once yet. IF I ever make it, then I'm in business. I've got the fabric & just need the lumber. I miscalculated the size, I'm actually doing a 96" screen I think... 48x86", that's a 96 diagonal...

a 100" 16:9 fixed screen, using blackout curtain material as the screen & stretching it around a 1x4 frame...unless anyone says that's the worst thing I could possibly do.

The projector arrived friday! Sorry I didn't post anything sooner, but I was busy breaking it in. The mount & all the long cables haven't come yet, so for now it's sitting on the table that folds down from the center seat of my sofa, which is a little annoying because putting my drink in the...

Yes, it's listed as new anyway...I hope so. Here's the link to amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Optoma-HD65-Projector-Backpack-Speakers/dp/B003AM8B5G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294710988&sr=8-1 It looks like maybe it's actually called HD65 Plus?

Definitely! Just got shipping confirmation, should be here by the 11th. Is it the 11th yet??????????? :)

Thanks for the help guys! I took the plunge & ordered the HD65. I looked at the HD66 and HD20 also on advice from y'all, but the HD20 was just a little more than I want to spend & the HD66, for some reason, dropped the component inputs the HD65 offers. Also read a few reviews on here and a...

The only hard part about blowing the budget is I have no real idea how often I'll be down in the basement enjoying this stuff...if I spend $500 on a projector that gets used once every 3 months, I can deal with that...if I spend 850 on one, it starts to kind of suck. On the other hand, if I love...

I've finally built out the basement I always wanted and the last step is to get a projector down there. I've been researching it a lot & feel like I know exactly what I want...but the features & price tags I want don't seem to quite line up. Can anyone offer up some suggestions that'll come as...

awesome, that looks easy enough. If I'm going to do a 96" wide 16:9 screen, (which is the size I was hoping for), I'll need it to be 96x54, right? It says on there that the fabric is going to be 54" wide, so I'll come up a little short...would it be okay to sew a 6" strip of black felt or...

actually, I have no idea if I have to have LCD or not. I know very little about projectors still. I know what I want it to do though if that helps...I know I want to be able to hook up a Wii, DVD, cablebox, computer, and eventually PS3 or blueray to it. I know my basement is currently 25'x40'...

I'm going to be building a theater in my basement. After several years of trying to convince myself its the most important thing I can do with that several thousand dollar investment, I've come to the conclusion that I don't really need all that. I just want it to be cool, not pretentious. Maybe...
