  It's going to be tricky placing that 2nd row of seats considering how far back the first row can recline..

  LOL @ the starfield. I don't like the carpet design, looks cheap. Thumbsup on Kill Bill as the inaugural movie.

  After all that work, what I REALLY want to know is how all that trouble with isolating sound paid off?
  
  Looks terrific BTW!

  But the big question is: Where are you going to put the beer fridge? Maybe put it in the center of all the seats on a lazy susan! Just a thought, use it, or not.

  Front row looks like single seats in leather? Split the difference between your friends' recommendations?

  Looking great and you've got to be feeling so close to completion now. I too would be interested in seeing more shots of the HTPC in action since I've got a copy of Vista Ultimate from work, but haven't built up a box for my HT yet. Be careful, you could get lost in there for a week watching movies and not making any progress on the finishings...

  Nice choice on speakers!
  
  I've always been a fan of Klipsch. The sensitivity (in part due to the horn tweeters) results in speakers that sound fantastic, even if you aren't pushing monster wattage through them.
  
  What setup did you go with? I don't remember seeing it mentioned in the previous posts, or maybe I just missed it.

  Gotta say this is looking better and better everytime I see it. Makes my little bedroom "theater" look like crap lol. I really like how you have the screen set up. Can you post up some more pictures of the HTPC running on it though? I'd really like to see how the desktop and other apps look on it.

  That looks like a great carpet for a home theater, should hide the stains caused by your friends spilling their beer quite well.

  Hello long time reader first time poster :)
  
  The room looks great, i'd like to know the dimensions of the room and all the components you have chosen to use in your setup. Projector/speakers/amps/reciever/ ect..
  
  
  I would like to add i really enjoy the Anandtech reviews no other site compares and goes into as much detail as you guys!! Keep up the good work.
