Personally, I'd rather have a garage.

VERY NICE !!!!.... VERY VERY NICE !!!....

These kind of people are nuts. I want to be one of them.

Sure, we spend 1-2k on an arcade cabinet, and spend about 1-2 months of time on it. But thats portable, and not really that big of a thing when all is said and done.

But then people like this spend 20-50k on a movie theater, and takes them many months/years to complete. I could never build one myself, but boy do I want one! (need a house first... i think)

Thenasty · « **Reply #8 on:** May 04, 2004, 05:04:34 pm »

so with all then nuts in here, which one of us will build a DRIVE-IN version. Boy i really miss the Drive-In (Hey where did my GF go, next car I think)

I think that is sweet! Personally I'd rather have a garage, but you have to admire someone with the vision to put something like that together.

GamingGreg · « **Reply #10 on:** May 04, 2004, 07:30:26 pm »

So does this thing come complete with the sticky floors (coke spills), squeeky chairs, and the tall guy in front that talks way too much?

SNAAAKE · « **Reply #11 on:** May 04, 2004, 08:37:33 pm »

They still have a drive in movie theater where I live. It's awesome. Tickets are 2$ for adults... as far as refreshments go. candy, popcorn, hot dog, french fries... each item 50 cents, giant soda: 1$. Can't beat it.

geez... I'd love to have this!! For that matter, I'd love to have the money that was invested in this

Even better idea tho would be to have a 2 car garage and have the extra one be the Arcade

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #15 on:** May 05, 2004, 12:17:55 am »

Great. Now I'm not happy with my stuff... again.

brained · « **Reply #16 on:** May 05, 2004, 09:08:20 am »

man, a 12k projector. That's a whole lot of money.

SirPeale · « **Reply #17 on:** May 05, 2004, 10:14:22 am »

I have a few drive ins near me, in Vermont. Nearest one is about ten miles away.

Last time I went there was with my wife and then 1 1/2 year old. We saw Spider-Man. We were amazed that they charged us for our kid, even though he wasn't anywhere near 'movie age.'

hyiu · « **Reply #18 on:** May 05, 2004, 10:37:52 am »

actually.... did he mention how much did he spent on fixing up a theatre like that ??...

the materials.... (wood / lights / ... building materials...) I would say <= $3k....
but then you have things like curtains... the heat/ac unit...
the chairs...
and bammm... a $12k projector ??....

and like 3 month's work ??....

actually.... still not too bad.... (give the results...)

Luxury · « **Reply #19 on:** May 05, 2004, 12:06:15 pm »

the chairs are $400 each + probably $100 for shipping x 12 = $6k.

HaRuMaN · « **Reply #20 on:** May 05, 2004, 09:57:28 pm »

yes yes yes... but can it be MAMEd?

Mugzilla · « **Reply #21 on:** May 05, 2004, 10:07:38 pm »

The is a NIB Marantz VP-12S2 Projector on eBay for $7000...

Actually, there are 2 forums for people just like BYOAC, build your own home theater -

www.hometheaterforum.com - they really need a project anouncment forum, like BYOAC

www.avsforum.com - very bloated - too many people to keep up with the topics of discussion. To large for it's own good. Hopefully BYOAC won't ever reach that.

For the record - a lot of cheaparses (like myself) started there home theater with the amazingly cheap X1 - deals may still be possible if you are really interested.

check
www.techbargains.com for dell deals

I'm getting either a Sony HS3 or a Epson PowerLite Home 10 unit when I'm finished my HT.

I have an Infocus rep showing me a Screenplay 5700 tomorrow (sweet but $$) but I still am wondering if I should just pocket the difference and just get the X1. decisions ... decisions ...
