Project man cave..

[UTRacerX9]

Projectors are definitely the way to go for a man cave. The screen takes up no room, and if you wanted you could go with an electric screen that hides completely out of view if you wanted too. Bulbs don't cost that much, and the most you'd ever need to buy is probably one (because at that point, the projector is 5-6 years old with average use, and you can get a much better one cheaper.) I think my bulbs run around $200-250, Epson 8350.

Next up: 3D projector after a year or so, prices came down drastically this year.

That's not exactly 'way' cheaper than a 50" TV, but it's way cheaper than 110" TV - LOL.

if you are going to buy a front projector, look for one with an LED bulb. most conventional halogen/xenon/krypton bulbs cost an arm & a leg. LED bulbs aren't necessarily cheaper--but they last 10x as long. and honestly, i don't see the market shifting from 1080p anytime soon. that resolution has so stagnated development and progress that laptops currently for sale have LOWER resolutions than those sold 3 years ago. seriously.

This rooms not really big enough for that.. Im by no means "wealthy" and the rooms probably 12-15 feet squared.. It will have to do until my mother inlaw empties out the top garage and I can take it over.. lol

doubt you'd need > 37" tv for that kind of space. then again, you could just buy a front-projector now and have it for later when you do get more space.

12x12 to 15x15 is a good size room. Certainly big enough to do a projector set up, believe it or not. My room is 12x19, with the screen on the 12 ft wall, and I was able to fit a 110" screen. Ceiling height comes into play here about as much as width, an 8 ft ceiling will probably limit you to a max of 100 inches, with 92 probably being ideal. That also gives you plenty of room for a couple recliners or sectional, and you could still add a small wet bar at the least.

i still like the idea of a shelf with empty bottles.. When I buy alcohol I like to try different stuff, and like wise save the empty bottles.. I figured I'd take all the bottles and just kinda line em up.. I know I said irish theme, but I think a shelf of more then Harp, Guinness, Baileys, and Jamesons would be better.. I am thinking a decent size TV, a futon, maybe a table and then just some cool decorations.. I have a big Boondock Saints board and a little how to say beer in different languages poster already..
