Anyone have a home theater room or media room?

I’ve been building mine for the past 18 months… I will share mine in the next few weeks when the rest of my equipment shows up…

Please list your equipment and pics!

i’ve been planning one for about 6 months… I plan to start building in about another 6 months… I keep learning new stuff every day.

there is just so much that you can get wrong and I don’t want to have to do anything twice. have you been hanging out on avsforums, htguide, and hometheatershack?

I’ll try to remeber my set-up off the top of my head:

Receiver: Onkyo 607  
Fronts: Polk Monitor 70  
Center: Polk CS2  
Sub: PSW505  
Rear side: Polk R50  
Rear centers: R30

TV: Samsung 52" 1080P 120 hz LCD

Peripherals: 360 with HDDVD and Sylvania NB530SLX Blu-ray

Not really a theater room, more like a man cave

Not really a theater or Media room… just my living room setup.

Panasonic AE900U Projector  
120" 1.3 gain Electric Retractable Screen  
Older Technics Reciever (Toslink connected to the DVD/Cablebox)  
JBL 5.1 Surround Speakers  
JBL 10" sub W/external Behringer “Pro-Amp”

Nothing superb, but works great for me.

AVSforum mainly… I learned so much in my build… I made several mistakes along the way which had I read more in the beginning, it would have saved me time and $$$.
