Thanks man!
I'm loving it. Sitting on the couch in front of this setup as I type this listening to music off my phone via Bluetooth..
The familia and I watched the 1st back to the future the other night. Pretty awesome. I know there are a lot of people with a lot bigger budgets than myself, but I'm pretty proud with what I've come up with. I still need to do some more work, mainly in my bar area, but really, this is within the budget of most all of us. Just work...planning and elbow grease. Really, I remodeled my whole basement with about $7k. My whole theater setup was about $1600...including projector, screen, surround sound, and everything. Pretty easy to just spend that on just a TV if you aren't conscious of what you are doing. With a little bit of planning and work, a pretty awesome setup is within the budget of everyone these days. Just go for it.
I fear most generations these days just want to find a way to raise the money to pay someone else to do everything for them. There is certainly something to be said about doing it yourself. I did 100% of this myself. I'm 38 and I've got a 27 year old coworker who is embarking on a similar remodel to his house. He gives me hope about future generations because I fear this attitude is becoming less and less common.
