Project man cave..

[Danube_3KGT]

So, My fiance brought up to me, the idea of making a spare bedroom we have into a man cave.. a room me and my friends can chill and play video games and what not.. Im kinda looking for ideas from people on what I can do.. Im Irish, and I want kind of an irish inspired cave but i figured getting a bunch of people thinking would bring a lot more cool ideas..

Im thinking about a dark green, almost black dark green or blue

and then putting a shelf around the top of the room, about a foot maybe to from the ceiling and putting liquor bottles on it around the whole room.. all kinds.. like Jack, Red Stag, Jager, ect.. possible with like an LED light rope behind the bottle to help light em up..

Stripper poles. And the ladies to go with them.

Not for you... for your friends.

TV, Couch (that you can sleep on), mini-fridge, a dog.

find a rear-ended 3S that is beyond salvage, take a cordless saws all, and cut it in half front to back. then cut the back off behind the door. Then cut the everything forward of the firewall off. Frame it all in, and mount a 32" screen. Gut everything not needed. Put a touchscreen in place of the cluster. Rig original controls to operate a force feedback wheel, shifter, and pedal set. Hook it all up to the gaming rig of your choice. Rig AC controls to operate a small indoor home air conditioner, route ducting to blow through original vents. Connect original door speaker to the home stereo for music. If you want to use any of the other 12V systems from the car, install a 1000watt PC power supply. Install cheap PC type 5 channel surround system for game/sim audio. Your 3S buddies will never go home...

I setup my larger half of the basement up with a complete theatre. I mounted a projector in the ceiling, wired in surround sound, hooked up everything to a receiver and then I put new drywall in and new drop ceiling. I am in the process of getting a new couch that is more comfortable and a decent size coffee table so I can have food, drinks, etc down there. I have my XBox 360 hooked up to it as well as a media PC and I have a table I can unfold if I want to do beer pong or whatever down there as well. Get some cheap flat screen TVs for the room. If you have ever seen those couches that are like a donut shaped where it's four pieces that connect to form a circle and in the donut hole if you can get a decent sized round table, you could have a place to sit and eat. Maybe get a beer tap off in the corner somewhere. How big is the room?

If your fiance is suggesting creating a man cave (rather than a nursery or some such nonsense) then you know she's a keeper.

Nooooooo.... That idea smacks of cheap college frat house. Need to pick up your game. I'd suggest getting some custom cabinets made, with a granite counter top, and installing one of these:

Kegerator - Summit Under-Counter Beer

And on the plus side, then the room can't ever be turned into a nursery or "craft" room, or whatever the hell else a woman decides she needs a room for. If the room is large enough, a projector setup and fixed frame screen on the wall and a couch, and you've got a pretty good mancave going there.

If you want a nice commercial grade beer tap, let me know. I know the owner of a company that makes them...and I might be able to get you a good price. I haven't checked their price lists in a while, but I think I might be able to do better than that $800+ model UT posted.

If you want to go with an Irish theme, why would you go with Jack, Red Stag, and Jager? Go with Irish things like Guinness, Jameson, Harp, etc memorabilia.

i'm not saying do all of these, just a brainstorm list:

bar with stools, minifridge (full fridge if this is a large room)
black leather couch (sectional?)
large screen TV (60"+) - do not use a projector unless replacing the bulb every 2 years is cool, eventually the bulb prices will increase as there are fewer bulbs and people still need them.
appropriately sized computer monitors next to the TV for keeping track of your fantasy teams
pool table
card table
kegerator
...more stuff that i'll think of later

I'm going to remember this... I'm turning my game room into a bar next year. Cheapest I've seen for an undercounter, stainless steel one was about $1500.

F yeah! I'll always have a man cave.

I should take pics of mine now that it's close to done. The previous owners painted it dark purple and black (media room)... I hated it at first, but the purple room has really grown on me.

What are the dimensions of the room in question?
