Okay yesterday I had the urge to blow money on something. Fast forward to about 30 min ago. I just won a auction for a Infocus X1 projector. Shortly before that I ran to Lowes and picked up 2 gallons of Summer Pudding paint in preparation for painting the spare room for my home theater. My original plans are:
and my in progress 3d drawing of the room:
I have started painting the room but Im waiting for the first coat to dry so I can go back over it with a second coat. Pictures of that in about 2 hours. I also have before pictures of the room. I plan on making a screen using that standart stuff people get from Home Depot, I forgot the name
Im still looking for seats and the audio, those should be found mid this week.

Item I won
Before and after pics of first coat of Summer Pudding paint. The flash really messes up the color :hs:
Okay here is where I stand as of 30 min ago. I just finished off my second gallon of paint which almost finished up my 3rd coat. Chances are I will pick up another gallon or quart so I can touch up and do the remaining trim. I snapped a few pics to show the current state. The projector should be here weds and Ive been looking into a few ONKYO HTIBs, mainly the 670s.
Last pic gives a good idea of true color. I had to snap it without the flash as it always seemed to distort the color in the other pics. Also dont mind the huge white spot on the wall, that needs repair
Projector came in but I have to leave for work
okay here is the latest. I mounted up the projector and have it all squared up. The pic looks like crap because Im projection onto a textured dark red wall, so that is to be expected, and for some reason the component cables werent working, Ill mess around with them some more tomorrow. Also Im going to pick up some parkland poly-wall tomorrow and some blackout cloth, should make it look really nice. Also excuse my crappy painting skills
Okay sorry for the long wait on the updates but its been slow moving. I ordered the BOC screen from a ebayer and it took a bit longer than expected to get here. I picked it up monday and started working on the frame so I could finally use something other than my bed sheet. I scratched the idea of going with the 770 and am now woking on piecing together a 2.1 setup until I can get more cash for the rest. Basically it will consist of a SA-XR50 with a Dayton 10" 100w sub, 2 Athena AS-B1s, and later I plan to move the AS-B1s to the rear and use the floor speakers in the front as well as add a center channel. I hope to have the audio done before the end of December. Here are a few pics of the new screen. My neighbor managed to rip the BOC on the corner while helping me so I will now need to make the black felt outline that I was going to add anyways cover that up. :rant2:
