Once you put it in your cart it gives you a $90 discount. Looks like the sale ended last night too.

So we finally have most the details squared away enough to start. Found a contract we like. Plan is to start next week on construction, and be done before Super Bowl.
Just picked up 6 of these sconces for the walls in there, pretty sweet looking we thought.

Jet sorry I've gotten your texts but haven't wanted to buy anything until I was for sure we were ready to go. So now that we are, let me know if you notice a deal on that projector. I do kinda like the 1075 too so let me know if you notice a deal on those too. The short throw on to 1080 is interesting too if we wanted to play Wii or something, less risk of blocking the image. Not sure if I really need that though for the added cost.
Stereo, I've decided I want better speakers. I already have a sub Im happy with, so mainly looking for a 5.0 speaker setup. Kinda like the projector, we are looking for a bang for the buck setup. I had a line on a sweet Klipche setup for a great deal but that fell through. I really don't need that though, looking for decent sound with a decent cost, not uber cheap and not BarFly style either. Any recommendations there? Here is one brand that Im finding a lot of reviews online for being good but inexpensive. They sell 3 different grades, this one is the mid grade.

Also heard good stuff about this Pioneer line as well being good bang for the buck

I will watch out for more deals on them. Bang for the buck it is really hard to beat Polk speakers. I have a Polk setup if you want to hear it sometime (except for the sub). I bought a pair of small bookshelf speakers when we moved in to our house that was a temporary thing and I was blown away by how well they sounded and they are very balanced too. I moved those to the surrounds and got bigger fronts and a matching center channel. Very happy and not real expensive.

Monitor 60's for the front, 25 for the center and 40's for the rear and you are at $520. Basically the same setup I have.

Looks like a MIB door or some futuristic door. Took me awhile to realize that it was a light. Cool!

^Same, when I first saw it, this looked like a hallway with a door at the end, weird lol.
Cool lights though, I have seen them before.

Go big or go home right?
Bought some stuff today from Best Buy Magnolia. Was a real nice guy, came to our house to do a consultation, so just decided to get stuff from him and be done. He knocked a whole bunch of money off so pay no attention to the list prices, and I'll get 10% back from reward zone points.

Also got all my cabling from them as well as a small equipment rack. Glad that's done and over with. Next I'm just waiting on some Amazon gift cards to show up so I can order up the Benq.
