How so? And in what way did that post contribute anything positive to the thread?

ayz, easy... pump the brakes

I thought the render was cool but the doorknobs could be lowered a bit 

I'd love to get my hands on one of those vintage Marantz stereos.. Sadly, I don't have the $500 - $$700 laying around I've seen them going for lately.

Been awhile since I posted my setup.  Sounding good

Not necessarily. I could snatch two of these for that sum, they're cheapo LED pico-projectors FYI :3 A good thing would be their MTBF approximation, which is 20k hours which would mean that they'd last ten years if they were used for eight hours every day, give or take a few. And for the screen I was thinking a plywood board painted matte white (and with a thick coat of primer to even out the imperfections, not essentially the most expensive (or best) solution but still, decent for entertainment purposes I believe. Honestly I'll have to experiment, I only saw one of them at my friends place and it looked quite decent for other than Amnesia, and even that worked ok in a dark room but that was with a silver screen

Yeah, time to switch to wireframes.

Pull down screens are really quite cheap, you could easily have one in your main room and have a portable one for outside (or make DIY ones for little money!)

BTW, love the Marantz, they don't make them like that anymore.. and the casing looks very nicely done.

^^My jaw just dropped.

One of the best looking systems I've seen, Graz. I'd really want one like that, looks cozy and not sterile at all like some home theater systems

Thank you!

@uofmtiger,

Your Marantz is gorgeous in that custom case.  Don't ever sell that. 

@windyCity - where did you get that stereo rack? I was going to make one like it, but the threaded rods were hideously expensive.
