DIYer Creates Relaxed Vibe in Media RoomWhether you're watching the big screen or plasma TV, surfing the web via the HTPC or playing pool, Mike McFaul wants you to chill in his basement media room.
When Mike McFaul first purchased his home back in 2001, he looked at the 1970s-style basement and instantly thought “home theater.”
Mike’s idea of home theater, however isn’t the formal style you find on the pages of many home theater magazines, with theater seats and hidden gear. “I saw a picture of a guy with equipment behind his couch, and used that as an inspiration,” says Mike. “I loved the look of the exposed gear. All those twinkling lights, but I also wanted a family room where my newly adopted three-month-old daughter Phoebe could play.”
Mike wanted the room to have a relaxed vibe—the perfect spot for sitting on the sectional, watching television, surfing the Internet on the big screen via the HTPC, viewing Netflix movies, and more.
“I wanted it to be more encompassing and connected than the traditional home theater.” And the basement entertainment complex certainly expands upon this goal. It’s 1,000 square feet, which gave Mike room for an office with a long bookshelf, a pool table, and a workout area.
McFaul, unlike some of the DIYers we profile on ElectronicHouse.com, was not a skilled handyman before he began the project. “This was first real handyman foray!” he says.

Looks like he forgot about the remote.
Also looks like he needs to change the screen resolution on the PC attached to the projector - looks like it's stretched.

LET'S GO BUFFALO!!! |
