    My new signage from Showcase Signs.

    Ahhh yes, that's right Dave. They are having a "name the team" voting contest for the baseball team. Since it's taking away so much prime tailgating ... I was thinking that they could be the State College Tailgaters :) . You'll love the signs ... well worth it imo. Great craftsmanship.

    My new signage from Showcase Signs.

    Just a quick note to show off my new sound plaques from Showcase Signs. As I've stated before ... pictures really do not do them justice. A quality made product that can't be duplicated. My next one will probably be the one made for HTF! Thanks again Nick, they are beautiful ... take a look...

    Things to do to a bigscreen CRT to make it more "theater-like"

    Matt, Correct, no backing on the fabric frame - however, anywhere that I didn't have a speaker or tv or component, I stapled batting material to the surface AND THEN attached the frame with speaker fabric. Hopefully to cut down on reflections.

    Things to do to a bigscreen CRT to make it more "theater-like"

    Hey Matt, In this set of pics, it shows me spraying and putting fabric over the section of wall that covers the TV. It's just a little bigger than the TV itself. You pull the TV back a little bit and unscrew a few "L" brackets to remove that piece and the TV can come right out the front. I...

    Things to do to a bigscreen CRT to make it more "theater-like"

    Hi Matt, I did the same thing as BrianKR. Everytime somebody new comes over they ask if it's a plasma until I show them behind the wall. The black fabric was cheap from JoAnn's. Here's the link to the Theater. And here's the link to some pics of us putting up the wall.

    Wow! Edwin, that's some sweet gear. Looks good. What kind of chairs are those?

    PoletTopleX - finally got pictures up.

    Wow Parker thanks. I just meant that it's not sound-proofed, with a concession stand, lobby, velvet curtains and big screen / projector ... like I would die for. It's just more utilitarian in my opinion. But I am very proud of it and I appreciate not only your kind words, but this entire...

    PoletTopleX - finally got pictures up.

    Thanks Paul. David, Thank you. Away games were essentially the whole reason why I setup the basement the way that I did. I pictured friends coming over on Sat as is the custom ... and the whole design just lends itself to having a party and watching the game. Actually got to watch one game...

    PoletTopleX - finally got pictures up.

    Hey all, This isn't a big dedicated theater, but I'm proud of it just the same. As built-ins go, I'm happy with my first. As most say, I couldn't have done any of it without this site. I even used many of the resources and sponsers splashed around here. Hope I gave credit to those that...

    The Noll Family Home Theater ready for viewing in the Gallery

    Jack, glad to hear it! The weather up here isn't as bad as some, but it still sucks. Perfect for watching movies though.

    The Noll Family Home Theater ready for viewing in the Gallery

    Great looking theater area David. Central PA? May I ask where? Don't see too many home theater owners on here from central PA.

    Front wall design?

    Thanks Roy, still wish I would have bought the 65" ... or even projector/screen instead. Ahh maybe future upgrades.

    Home Theater Plan Web Site

    That's a really cool idea Wes ... I would love to make up some plans of my setup. Can I ask, what program did you use to make your plans?

    Front wall design?

    OK Patrick and Roy, here are some quick shots. I would mess with the lighting if I had more time ... these aren't permanent glamour shots.

    Front wall design?

    OK, I'll post some pics tonight ... got wrapped up in Monday Night Football last night. I should be more useful tonight ;)

    Front wall design?

    Yes Roy, I've done that. I actually have a 57" Toshiba rear projection that I built behind the wall also. I put a shelf across the top of it and placed the front speakers there. It also helps because I put my component rack beside it and can get to all of the connections easily. It's actually...

    New HT Construction

    Man, that LCD is a sweet addition. Hey, what was that Blue Man Group media that you were playing??? Didn't know that they sold their live performances.

    New HT Construction

    My goodness, that media room just makes me cry ... like a woman seeing a beautiful sunset. Just curious Scott, I noticed that your original design for the theater had a couple of tables and a bar ... why did you switch up? Sorry if this was already addressed previously. Thanks! JP

    Question About DVD Profiler Updates

    Hey John, The database is essentially what end users like you and me put into it ... if it wasn't already added by another user then is won't be there when you go to put your's in ... You can be the first to contribute it! Like you said, you might be the only one that bought it ;)

    Almost there.....

    Hey Shane, Looks great ... I'm just wondering if you are going to paint the wall black around the screen and in the frame or will the drapes cover that up?
