wasn't that around the time you died?

wasn't that around the time you died?

No after I think. Was it before or after your superbike?

LOL the Hayabusa - still have that monster.  I need to sell it though, inspection is coming up soon and it's a waste of money.

It was around the same time, maybe a couple months before.

[Stealth]

today i installed a Z-wave light switch and a light.


My Monster remote control will be able to control the lighting in the room too

i just bit the bullet and spent the last 8hrs working on the room.  got it done though.  temporary projector screen mounted (just backing cloth - didn't want to order a screen and then decide it was too big/small and have to send it back.  if you ever do this - just tack some backing cloth up on the wall and project the image onto it and watch movies, tweaking the size every so often until you're happy with the size.  for me, i decided 120" was WAY too big for the room, and i'm happy with the current 16:9 at 103".  plenty big.

wired up the sound. finished the painting completely.  the only thing i need to do is clean the stuff off the floor and move the sofas/recliners in.  in the meantime, it's functioning perfectly.  spent 15min calibrating the sound, and got it tweaked well enough for now.  sounds awesome.

I can't wait to see how your finished room will look like, Stealth. Keep it coming.

You should grab a second matching subwoofer and place it in the other corner. For bass balance.

Pics/specs or it didn't happen.

I saw it myself, does that count?

[Nuclear1]

Ah...I guess

Well done...on the room and the car.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

So, we've established that your media room is still U/C. What about the car? Is it finished?

HLP Houston 2: We go watch movies at Stealth's house

[Stealth]

Room is finished as of yesterday.  Love it.

The ONLY thing that i need to do is touch up a few spots with paint, but that's so minor i haven't even worried about it yet.

Oh, and i need a recliner.  I have an old pig-skin seat in its place for now.  The leather sectional arrived yesterday afternoon, and i put a few decorations on the wall.


OH (duh) - i forgot.  The current screen is just a piece of blackout cloth thumb tacked to the wall.  I've ordered the 'real' screen (which will sit at roof level, and be electric).  Behind the current screen is a hutch for the popcorn machine and mini-bar (i have both, but haven't installed them since i don't have an electrically retractable screen at the moment.

so i guess i'm not done, i'm more like 97% done.

Hmm ... nice wallpaper.

What's that white thing below that black Pirates of the Caribbean T-shirt?

[Stealth]

hehe it's not wallpaper - it's black paint, textured with grey on top of it (take a plastic bag, dip in the paint, and 'sponge' the wall).

the white thing below the shirt (by the way - that's my feeble attempt to 'decorate' the room a bit.  without going overboard) is a window air conditioner.  i'm still going to spray paint it black, but for now it's white, and since it's in the back corner of the room, it's no distraction to anyone while watching a movie.

that window a/c is necessary, since with 6 people and some extremely hot-running equipment, the room heats up very, very fast.  that 10,500 BTU air conditioner would have no problem cooling a room 4 times its size, and still not break a sweat, so it keeps the room really cool, and really efficient.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

So you have two A/Cs - one for the audience and one for the equipment? Or is that the only A/C in the room?

[Stealth]

well the house has its own A/C, so the room has a vent in the roof, but that's not nearly enough to keep the room cold, so the room has an a/c unit in the window too.

the only cooling the equipment has is a few 120mm fans behind it, blowing all the hot air (from the receiver, which is the only part that actually gets warm) out of the cabinet

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Neat.

Here's a slightly OOC question for anyone: Can these guys be trusted to make good fans? Ever since I saw one of their giant ones in my school, I've always wondered if they can be trusted.

[Stealth]

why would you not trust them because you saw one in your school??

they make good products.  i've bought several for the company.  and every 24hr fitness i've ever gone to has had one.  seems like they've got a pretty unique, but good business model.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Well, considering that that was the first time I'm seeing a fan made by a company I've never seen in my local shopping mall, I was a little curious to find out who they are.
