If you've got the cash it's easy to justify.   ;D

Nice room Zakk.  I'll be posting pictures in a couple of months when they start construction on my house.  I'm digging out my basement to make a game room / bar / theater.  I just hope I have enough room (I have about 700sqft. to play with).

700 feet isn't too bad, remember to factor in a bathroom, and if you're building new, do up the walls around it with soundproof insulation.  Nothing worse than listening to someone have a bad time in the can when you're trying to enjoy a cold one.  The bar here has a 3 piece bathroom, also with heated floor and solid core door (with doorsweep for errant odors!).  I also put the light and fan on motion sensors, so people don't have a choice but to run the fan when they're in there, even if it's just for a quick pee.  Any sound/smell countermeasures you can install will be much appreciated by your guests :)

The mamey would be cool! Maybe next time around when my cab is a tad more finished. It's still pretty rough right now. Heck, the monitor doesn't even autorotate yet! <g>

I know what you mean about the steampunk stuff. It's a look I could really get into, but, yeah, there's the whole "Eventually I might want to sell the house" thing to consider.

That's why I went "stealth" on my cabinet. It's still great when someone comes over who hasn't seen it and I unfold it for the first time.

20k on a custom gameroom remodel of a basement? You'll likely get most of that back in resale, and you get to enjoy it in the meantime.

Me, I've got to tear out 120' of 8' high railroad tie retaining wall and replace it in the backyard before the hill behind me ends up in my pool (or worse). That's about double that price, and I can almost guarantee I won't see a penny of that in the resale value of my house  :'(

I can top that too.  I had to put in the pool and pool house.  :)

You might want to factor in that if you didn't do the repairs, it would negatively affect the resale value, so really you are getting it back in the long run.  ;D
