Pics of New HT-converting bedroom to Home Theater


So after seeing one of my friends 100 inch home theater screen I knew that moment I need to have that. Only problem was when? I did not want to do the basement because that would cost me a fortune so with a little help from my friend we decided to convert a bedroom into a home theater. After careful planning I have to say I am very satisfied. Mind you it is not completely done yet, but when is it ever. Anyways enough babbling to the pics.....

The room before (there used to be a bed under the window)All the equipment is to one side









The room painted:



With the posters up





The chairs are in:





Moved all the equipement outside, jamming the hallway







Da Bears:



mounting the rear speaker:



Projector mounted in the middle:



Screen is mounted:



Organizing the chaos:



Equipment is put in the closet:



2 fans to cool:



The finished project for now:















Sorry about the blurry pics....I hate this stupid POS sony camera.

Any comments.

Thanks for looking.

Najib

That looks great. It just shows that a theater room is easier to build than most people think. My room could have been a 4th bedroom if we had added a closet.

How about a quick equipment list?

Thanks! At first I could not visualize it myself but after drawing it out and slowly putting it together it started coming alive, especially after the paint was applied.

Visual:
Projector - Mitsubishi HD1000U

Sound:
Receiver - Onkyo TX-SR800
Speakers - Infinity Interlude Series
Surround - Sapphire speakers (gloss black)

DVD/Game:
Xbox 360
Xbox HD DVD player

Television:
Comcast DVR HD tuner

Control:
Remote - Harmony 890 with IR (a pain to program)

Power:
Surge Protector - Monster Cable HTS3600 Pro

All wires are monster cable

Thanks

Re: New HT-converting bedroom to Home Theater


I agree that the color of the room makes a huge difference. I went with gray carpet, battleship gray ceiling and trim and navy blue walls. When you walk into this room, there is no mistaking it for the theater (and you can't miss the 103" screen).

I believe its 15 by 14. But the thing there is like a mini hallway that makes the room ideal for a theater. Just that little touch makes it perfect.

I want to paint the ceiling next but for now I'm happy. I'm goign to ceiling mount the projector next.

Re: New HT-converting bedroom to Home Theater


Looks good! Two Thumbs Up man.
I have been contemplating pulling all of my HT equipment out of the living room "Leave the Plasma" and buy a Projector and put all of my stuff in the spare bedroom. That was my thought but my wife said "no! do to that's going to be the Nursery when she ends up getting Prego". I told her that she wasn't going to get anything out of me, so she might want to talk to the Milk man she would have a better chance of getting knocked up that way. LoL

Thanks again for all the comments.

The screen I got was the Optima Grey Wolf. I got it from Projectorpeople.com. I was going to get the Carada but it was a little to much for me. The screen is great. I got the dark gray with a 1.8 gain. So it is pretty bright.

I was just playing Bioshock and that thing looked so creepy and awesome! I will take a pic next time.
