The space is roughly 12.4' x 21' (8ft ceiling) with no windows

I originally wanted three connected recliners for the back row but everything I found was just too wide. Ultimately we decided on a black sofa instead. Couples like to sit back there or sometimes a row of kids.

This is one of my favorite shots.

We built a stage this year (if that's what you want to call it) that hides the speakers and allows access from the top or front.

Cable distribution is handled by this very nice group of wall plates from Monoprice.

Around 400 movie posters rotate on this display. It's connected to an Apple Mac-Mini computer running free software from Boxee.

Here's my collection for your downloading pleasure:

Another picture with more of the soffit.

It runs software called HSTouch from a company called HomeSeer. I love this option because it is extremely flexible and I can design pretty much anything we want. Touch each light in the picture to turn it on/off.

A Panoramic using a program called Microsoft Ice.

Bye Bye, hope you enjoyed the show!

A really marvelous melding of the aesthetics of an all-out theatre and an inviting area in your home. Extremely clever idea to use the vertically-mounted TV as a, 'Now Playing' marquee too. My compliments to you!

That 400 movie rotating poster is SWEET! 10/10

RonSwanson  » Sep 11, 2011 12:29 AM

Am I going crazy? Both Avatar and the Xmen stills on the screen look STREtCHED to me...what's the deal? Otherwise - sensational.

nathan_393  » Sep 10, 2011 09:04 PM

I am in LOVE with this. The iPad is pretty awesome and I love to see them put to this kind of use. If I could afford a set-up like this, I'd be all over it. I'd imagine that the projector was the least expensive part! lol

nice set up!!..whats the room size??

TKNice  » Jul 06, 2011 07:14 PM

Matrizz - Unfortunately I don't have an easy answer for you. I use two different programs DVD Decryter (http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/) to pull it off the disk and then IMGTool Classic (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cd_dvd/iso_tools/imgtool_classic.cfm) to package it back up into a nice single file format.

madrizz  » Jul 05, 2011 03:09 PM

TK. Thanks for the tip. The XMBC works great. Do you also have good suggestion for a program to burn my DVD's onto my hard drive?

GastonL  » Jun 06, 2011 04:15 PM

I find your beautiful facility and I congratulate you find lucky

TKNice  » Jun 04, 2011 07:33 PM

Thanks for the comments guys and I really appreciate the ratings as well. madrizz - My movies are all .mkv files and play from the htpc through a program called XBMC. This program is awesome and plays all kinds of formats. -TK

madrizz  » Jun 04, 2011 03:31 PM

How do you get windows media to recognize the dvd movies once they have been burned onto the HTPC? Awesome HT room:)

rkproceed  » May 27, 2011 10:03 PM

excellent Home Theater , real generous of you sir! Do u feel u need more bass?

wes  » Apr 26, 2011 01:23 PM

Like you I should have turned off my ratings Your theater is superb I like the HomeSeer

Dre180  » Apr 25, 2011 02:03 PM

Very, very slick and clean set up. One of these days, i hope to finish part of my basement in a similar fashion. Well done!

Beautiful set up. Very clean with some cool ideas I have not seen before (Flat screen that rotates movie poster images)!

bkbluray  » Mar 22, 2011 12:35 PM

Fantastic! I can't believe I haven't seen this one. Very warm-looking room. Well done!

This is the most amazing HT that I've ever see; nicely done and certainly deserving more than the meager 10 which I gave it!
