But the big question is: Where are you going to put the beer fridge? Maybe put it in the center of all the seats on a lazy susan! Just a thought, use it, or not.
Looking great and you've got to be feeling so close to completion now. I too would be interested in seeing more shots of the HTPC in action since I've got a copy of Vista Ultimate from work, but haven't built up a box for my HT yet. Be careful, you could get lost in there for a week watching movies and not making any progress on the finishings...
I've always been a fan of Klipsch. The sensitivity (in part due to the horn tweeters) results in speakers that sound fantastic, even if you aren't pushing monster wattage through them.
What setup did you go with? I don't remember seeing it mentioned in the previous posts, or maybe I just missed it.
Gotta say this is looking better and better everytime I see it. Makes my little bedroom "theater" look like crap lol. I really like how you have the screen set up. Can you post up some more pictures of the HTPC running on it though? I'd really like to see how the desktop and other apps look on it.
The room looks great, i'd like to know the dimensions of the room and all the components you have chosen to use in your setup. Projector/speakers/amps/reciever/ ect..
I would like to add i really enjoy the Anandtech reviews no other site compares and goes into as much detail as you guys!! Keep up the good work.
The carpet looks cool in the room, really brings a nice and necessary break. Seats are awesome, just hope you planned a double-seater in the back row... if you know what I mean ;)
From the pictures it looks that the two spot above the screen are kind of bothering if you have something running while the light is still on. Would be cool to run those separately that they could be switched off, would make the screen nicer while lights are on...

It's going to be tricky placing that 2nd row of seats considering how far back the first row can recline..Baked - Friday, May 16, 2008 - link
LOL @ the starfield. I don't like the carpet design, looks cheap. Thumbsup on Kill Bill as the inaugural movie.emfiend - Thursday, May 15, 2008 - link
After all that work, what I REALLY want to know is how all that trouble with isolating sound paid off?Looks terrific BTW!

Front row looks like single seats in leather? Split the difference between your friends' recommendations?ltfields - Thursday, May 15, 2008 - link

That looks like a great carpet for a home theater, should hide the stains caused by your friends spilling their beer quite well.c0rsair - Thursday, May 15, 2008 - link
Hello long time reader first time poster :)The room looks great, i'd like to know the dimensions of the room and all the components you have chosen to use in your setup. Projector/speakers/amps/reciever/ ect..

You'll find most of that information in Anand's Theater Construction blog (start from the bottom up):http://www.anandtech.com/weblog/default.aspx?bcate...">http://www.anandtech.com/weblog/default.aspx?bcate...
