  1. So, yep, that's basically what this new thread is going to be about. The idea is that, if you have a dedicated room to enjoy whatever you enjoy the most, then show us!

    In my case, I've spent the last 2 years saving, researching and investing quite a lot of money to build my own home theatre. Why? Well...

    Because I love cinema, and I can't stand at the theater with people behaving like animals... I'm sorry but I can't
    I want to enjoy the experience, I want to forget about the rest of the world for those 2 hours and, as a director/photographer myself, I RESPECT tremendously the effort and work putted into the production of any kind of art.

    I hope you like it, it's been quite a long ride but I'm already saving for an upgrade soon, but for the moment I'm pleased as hell, I just moved to my new home with my girlfriend (who I met thanks to a local U2 forum more than 8 years ago) and, well, we are very happy with how everything ended up.

    The entrance:

    This is where I have those little specifications. From top to bottom, Bravia Theatre, 3D World Created by Sony, BluRay Disc, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital 5.1...



    Inside:

    An overall look of my HT.



    My Sony Bravia:

    A 3D Bravia, the Sony KDL-42W805a, last's year top of the line, at least where I live:



    My BluRay movies:

    Some of my collection, including (I have new ones, but I didn't take the picture of those yet):
    Triple Feature from Stanley Kubrick: 2001 A Space Odyssey - A Clockwork Orange - The Shining, It might get loud, The Cure Trilogy, Gran Torino Steel Edition, I am legend, The Karate Kid, Blade Runner 5 Disc Collector's Edition, Garbage One Mile High Live, Edward Scissorshands, U2 360, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 3D (I still have to buy the first one), The Counselor, Life of Pi 3D, Prometheus 4 Disc Collector's Edition, Twister and Days of Thunder.



    My CDs and some DVDs:

    A bit of everything, including the whole U2 collection obviously, some japanese music, jazz, blues, classic rock...



    Special Editions:

    Including The 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition from one of my favourite movies from one of my favourite Directors, Ridley Scott: Blade Runner.
    The Alien Anthology, The Dirty Harry Collection and the 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition of The Joshua Tree - U2.



    Remotes, cellphone and one of my headphones:



    3D Glasses:



    Home Theater:

    A old but VERY trusty Sony HT STR-KG700.



    A Sony Discman:

    A Sony D-EJ360. This was a gift from my dad when I was 12 or something. I still remember THE IMPACT it had on me, the sound quality was BRUTAL.



    Beneath the PS3 and the HT:

    Some books, a couple of DVDs and 2 PSMove.



    Posters:

    I couple of posters I have, but I also have a HUGE Prometheus poster from the cinema. I still need to put them in the walls.



    Alien:

    A drawing that my girlfriend did.



    Just two of my toys....:



    Wheel:



    Sony Bravia:







    Regards.
  2. Nice !!
  3. Impressive stuff!

    I have a room with U2 memorabilia and my guitars, but it comes nowhere near this awesome room


  4. Let's see it then That's the idea, my case is different because I also love cinema and I've always wanted to have something like in my place so...
    I'm planning to get a Sony projector soon, but it's expensive. The quality is outstanding on the other hand...
  5. wow Pablo !! i want a room like that !!!
  6. Great stuff I'll share my room later on.
  7. OK.. So I watch movies and such from the living room, but my own 'man cage' is this small room adjacent to the living room:


    Three-screen desktop PC, my main computer basically.
    Powered by a great Ikea standing-sitting desk which I can move up and down, usually I stand in front of my PC for about 50% of the time. Note the U2 bible having a spot on my desk for looking up anything setlist- or show related.


    Right next to my desk is my cabinet with books and lots of U2 stuff, with a wall of a few of my U2 LPs on top of it.


    And left next to my desk is a map of Europe, with pins in all locations where I've been to (ran out of pins so need to buy more ).
  8. Thanks patou2 (I have sent you a big message the other day but I have no record of it now in my PMs, did you receive something?)

    It's great to see that I'm not the only one who is obsessed with having a place for me

    You've reviewed numerous shows, a commendable effort. What motivates you to review this many shows?
    I've got all the bootlegs burned on CD, in a shelf that takes up a whole wall at home. I have listened to them all, and I happen to perfectly remember some of them. I once tried to organize a bit my bootleg collection, doing a little description of each show so I could have a quick glimpse of what each show was like. So that's why I do so many reviews here, I have small reviews written in each CD!
