    Projector plans/lenses on eBay... total waste of money?

    I'm sure you've all seen the "Projection TV $25" and it comes with a lense and some plans to project your CRT TV onto a wall or what have you. I'm wondering, does anyone actually do that, and if so, is it even remotely worth the time and money invested? Keep in mind, I can appreciate very...

    Wireless transmission from PC to Receiver?

    thanks for the info. i've since done some investigating of my own, and found many many options. i'm not sure whether or not any of them are any good, though. i'll just have to find a place that has a good return policy. *shrug* i came across this, and it looks semi-promising (low cost, good...

    in what order should i add speakers?

    thanks for all the help, guys! i think what i'll do is what Martin said, and get the receiver and mains, and see if i want more bass, or better location for dialogue. it'll also help same me some cash in the immediate, which is almost always good. :) now that i'm decided on that, would you...

    in what order should i add speakers?

    well, i want to buy receiver and two speakers right away because all i have to listen to movies right now is a crappy TV speaker (not 2, just one). that, and the whole premise of "new, better stuff is always coming out" assumes that you have the budget to afford the new, better stuff. i have to...
