One of those side panels is a hidden door that leads to the equipment room.

The screen is a Stewart Cinecurve that can mask for screen sizes 2.35:1 and 1.78:1 down to 4:3 and some other sizes in between.

The speakers are three Revel Salon2s in the front, behind the microperf screen, and six Gem2s for surrounds hidden in columns.

The projector is a Sim2 Lumis. There is a Crestron remote system.

There is a ton of equipment covering all the necessary bases for movies, TV, and gaming, and even a high end PC gaming system that I built myself.
Are you a Radiologist in MN? I have been in your HT watching A cigar film. If not, he has the EXACT same setup!!

What are the specs on the desktop? I always build my own (call it a hobby), and would love to hear what you did.

I'll look everything up on NewEgg and list it below. I rebuild my system every 2 to 3 years, though I might go longer this time around since I don't have time to play any games for the next few years while doing graduate work and getting a PhD dissertation together. That, and my system is so ahead of the curve right now; it isn't like the last time I built a system when the video cards were way behind the games; right now the cards I used are ahead of the curve by quite a bit. Besides which, technology changes so much sometimes in 3 years that I have to relearn how to overclock a system to is maximum and fully research the new technologies before building a system...

This is the one I built around a month or so before Christmas time last year, give or take a week or two.
  1. Intel i7-920 2.66GHz OverClocked to 3.8GHz using a Prolimatech Megahalem heatsink and high RPM fans
  2. ASUS P6TD Delixe LGA 1366 Intel X58
  3. OCZ XMP Ready Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
  4. Two HIS Radeon HD 2GB 5970s in CrossFireX mode
  5. COOLER MASTER HAF 932 in Black Steel
  6. BFG Tech EX-1200 (1200W PSU)
  7. Pioneer Black Blu-Ray Disc/DVD/CD Writer SATA BDR-205BKS
  8. Four HITACHI Deskstar HD31000 IDK/7K 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0GB/s Internal Hard Drives in RAID 10

Wow, those are truly amazing rooms and systems. Mine isn't in a small specific theatre style room like that but I have a 60 inch pioneer plasma with a 6 piece Bang and Olufsen speaker system that gives great sound. Nowhere near those ones. Great stuff I really like seeing things like that, I hope one day I can have something similar.

Wow great looking rooms guys I have a 37inch LCD Onkyo TX-NR807 running 12 speakers, great surround sound with a new feature called Audyssey that doesn't leave a bad seat in the living room. It also has a new Front Height speaker setup that adds ambient, non-directional audio that adds a new vertical dimension to your movies and games which is nice, but it is nothing like the pictures above that is just beauty both places love the seats!

One aspect that I wish I have in my HT isn't how grand it is, but the masking system, it's the most essential in my opinion.

Indeed. I have the Stewartscreen and an anamorphic lens; they covers the major ratios (2.35:1, 178:1, 1.33:1). The screen can also be programmer for ratios in between.

Here's some pics of our HT. Also a Sim2 projector and 7.1 Kef system - not that high spec but good for family movies. The good thing is that whilst we live in a block of flats it's in the basement so viewing with the volume turned up is not an issue...

Certainly nothing close to yours, but nice nonetheless. I did the entire work myself.

You guys sure have some nice HT systems. I converted my 4th bedroom into a very modest home theater. I am running a 58" pansonic with a PS3 for the bluray player. I am using an Onkyo SR608 to power 7 Bowers and Wilkins speakers and 2 subwoofers. I also have a Monster power conditioner and led ambient lighting. This is not the greatest system in the world but watching movies in the room is so much nicer than going to the theater. The kids really seem to like it.

You have an awesome setup. Mine is just a 1080i projector, on a dry wall painted egg shell white.

I'm not going to bother to post mine as it looks ghetto compared to yours lol!

Sounds like a very nice setup, especially the speakers. I can't stand sitting in a theater for a movie. I'd much rather sit in the HT room, pause the movie when I wish, and stretch out on the couch if I please.

If anyone out there is looking for the most amazing Home Cinema experience of a lifetime, I recently saw a demo of a $1,000,000 theater install in Atlanta. This normally goes into 40-million-dollar homes and has 3500-4000 Watts of audio power, a 12-foot screen, and literally beats Imax theaters for the power and immersion of the experience.

I know it doesn't look like much with the bad iPhone pic, but trust me, it isn't. It does, however, feature a used Ikea cabinet as well as a classic non-HD TV. Note the added sound-dampening laundry and accoustically correct throw pillows stacked against the VHS player.
