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

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

@uofmtiger, nice case by your Dad for that Marantz! Love the woodworking

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

$600?? Aren't projectors and screens much more than that? Let alone 2..

Yeah, time to switch to wireframes.

Thanks for the info on the screen.  I would only want it for night when using it outside.  With the lights off, it is very dark back there.  Also, I can't have a projection setup in the main room unless I can put it up and down.  There is a doorway that would get in the way for anything wider than the 63 inch TV I have in there.   However, a setup like this would be easy to put up and down and I could just run an HDMI cable from the receiver when I wanted to use it.  I have thought about doing this before and got distracted.
 

 
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.

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

@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.
