    Updated HT with some new pix

    added some new items to our HT- talking Gollum, movie reels, Psycho poster, a hand drawn map of Middle Earth (love the look), and took tickets from each of the LOTR movies plus popcorn bags and framed them. I am very pleased with the latest additions.

    Is Monster morphing into Bose

    or is it already there? Monster Cable seems to be the only cable choices at Best Buy, Ultimate Elec, and Circuit City now. Maybe its just me, but do Monster cables seem to be overpriced?

    question to those who have built proj. screen
