Making of my own home theater setup, pictures included!
Well, I took that old projector I got, fixed it up and it's amazing. Now I just need to clean out the perfect corner of my room for a 120" tv. Anyways, here's the temp. setup with a bedsheet over the windows. It's only 60" right now since it's so close, but it'll change fast XD.
I'm going to mount some white cloth/plastic to a piece of wood and mount it on the wall soon somewhere XD.

Yea, mostly. I'm moving it to a corner of my room after I clear out the foos ball and weight machine. Gonna put those in the garage or something. Then I'm going to use my old desk that's just sitting there to put the dvd player and front speakers on it's shelf and then a big screen mounted to some wood on top of it. The table I was going to set the projector on is 4" to short though, so need to figure something else out for that.

First suggestion would be to get rid of the emac lol jk
The first real suggestion would be to mount the projector on the roof and run cable alongside the walls. That neatens things up ALOT! second suggestion would be to use something else as a projection screen.

Well, I'm going to mount some white plastic/cloth/something to some wood so it's nice and smooth. Then mount that on this old desk. I figure about 10ft from the screen will have about a 80" image, not sure, everytime I go to measure it I block the image lol.

I'd lie in bed, and then shine it on the ceiling.

How would I hook a sound system up to it?
It has the red/white/yellow inputs, would I leave the yellow from the game, dvd, etc in and then plug the sound system into the red/white inputs? Or should I buy a red/yellow/white to s-video and use that and then use the red/white for the sound system?
