though it's not the post i quoted, i like your plans fireshot!
oh man and when i'm older and (hopefully) get the chance to have my own house i would sooo have black painted walls in the basement for an awesome home theater experience.
Thanks
If you can afford it, I'd say go ahead. (Even if you can't, at least try!
).It is definitely worth it. All of my family (Cousins) have home theater set-ups in the basement, and so we all feel awkward whenever we go to a house and watch T.V/Video Games on a T.V that's not a projector.

considering my age i have pleeeeenty of time to draw up some plans
. can you watch regular, as in cable, tv on a projector? or are those solely for DVD players and that sort of thing?
Yeah, I can watch regular cable/satellite.
Most projectors only have 1-2 HDMI in ports. So, in order to connect something, I use a receiver. It has audio in connections, and 4 HDMI in. I hook my satellite receiver to that. It also has a coaxial input if you don't have a cable box.

My Setup
Hi Guys/Girls,
I thought I'd post some pics of my gear.
Current System:
Yamaha RXV-1800 AV Reciever
Denon 2500BT BluRay Transport
SKY HD
PS3 60gig
B&W XT2's
B&W XTC
Paradigm ADP 150 dipole's
Monitor Audio Monitor 3's.
All wired with QED Silver Anniversary XT Speaker Cable.

Will be replacing the Paradigm's with B&W DS3's, and also the Monitor 3's with the XT2 when I get round to finding some XT4's.
Anyway, let me know what you think please?

excellent setup! i googled the B&W XT2's and came up with this. look familiar LOL?!?!?!?!
Rather enjoying your lack of cabling. Can't wait until I can get out of rented accommodation and install in walls!

That looks great! Is that one of those walls that has a sort of room behind it with a cabinet for running wires?

What tv shelf unit is that? I need it!
pretty sure he isn't running cables through the walls. looks like he has the wires behind a piece of plastic/molding along the floor, then up to the tv through another piece of plastic/molding
very nice set up

Currently.
Not Finished yet, need to wall mount and clean it up a little.
Great Daft Punk wallpaper! I have the same on my iPhone.

As do i, and my MacBook Pro, and my PSP.
Kind of out of date, but I'm too lazy to take another one. I was doing some work here; wiring up the new marantz's, and moving all my components around, and installing new ones. All wires are typically 100 % hidden.
47" Vizio 1080p LCD (love this TV!)
Vintage Marantz HD770 speakers
Xbox 360
80 gig PS3
AppleTV (removed in this pic)
vintage turntable
Marantz EQ
Not pictured:
HK AVR-354 receiver (replaced the Denon)
Morel Sa-MKII rear speakers
Klipsh RW-10D sub
lame Sony center channel speaker
As you can see on the second to last picture of that great setup, he has wires running through a plastic mold near the floor. You can see the wires coming out of the plastic part, also in the speaker pictures, you can see the wires going into that plastic part.
