R1lee, what are the dimensions of your main HT room? I have a basement room that's 13' by 42'. Have a meager setup compared to yours:

Great setup!

Perhaps this belongs in the original post or something, but it's definitely worth checking out the Home Entertainment & Theater Builder sub-forum over at AVS Forum. Lots of info about some really amazing DIY home theaters...

Pm sent.

r1lee Wrote:Many ways to do it. Here is the cheapest, then my way lol.

Look for posters on moviepostersdb.com. At least min of 150dpi.
Print at SpoonFlower.
Look for 1" stretch bars online, I think they range at $6+.
Mount the pictures yourself on the stretch bars.
then your acoustic fiber board.

Here was what I did.

Bought movie posters from movieposters.com. $16+
took them to local scanner guy who can scan large image $30 a piece
Print at Spoonflower
I took them to local framing guy $55 for small up to $95 for the large.
Then the acoustic 5lb 1" fiber board. 12 * 2x4 = $100

Spoonflower.com is where I went to get the images printed.

Their first material, I think it's called cotton quilt. $18 yard is the best for allowing sound waves to pass through. This was tested to be as good as anything out there, but still offered enough material to give a decent image.

The small ones took 1yard each, whereas the larger ones took 2 yards, those on the side walls.

Maximum is 42" for width, No max length.

Sorry about poor quality pics, taken with Iphone.
I just got this all set up and thought I would post some pics. My friend is about 6'2

Great setup!

To the screen about 28ft. To the sides where the rack and DVD shelf is around 25". Width = 20ft and Height is 8.5".

Your setup is quite fantastic, we're all limited by the space we have. In my case, i devoted the biggest space for the theater

Looks like "Rapier" to me with a lot of the settings turned off.

Here is a picture of my humble college setup:


Specs:
40" Samsung LED
Samsung 2.0 Soundbar

PC Specs(can kind of see it on the left side):
Cheap rosewill slim ATX Case
Seasonic slim ATX PSU
1x 30gb OCZ Vertex I (OS drive)
2x 1tb WD Green HDD
1x 2tb WD Green HDD
1x 750gb WD Scorpio HDD (laptop drive)
Asus Radeon 5450 512mb Video
Biostar AM2+ motherboard
AMD AM3 Dualcore cpu (underclocked and undervolted)
Generic wireless keyboard and mouse

Overall happy with my setup, I would try to clean all the wires up but I am moving in a few months and figure I will try to just set it up right in the new place (and I don't want to fix any holes in the apartment wall.)
