    I'd love to make a cab, might need to send it up from Devon though! That's some good news for the man cave :D neither of you will regret it well, I should warn you though that it may lead to an insatiable urge to get amazing speakers to match :p Thanks, Oak is amazing, even when it comes...

    Ok, so had to give my ears a rest and breathe some non basement air for a bit so decided to make a table for my AV receiver. I don't have many good pictures but it's just a basic coffee table made from solid oak that I had left over from fitting the skirting board in my basement. Oak is...

    Cool, you won't be disappointed, and you still won't be in 4 years time! Then 4K will be at reasonable prices for an upgrade ;) If you haven't been to richer sounds, it's easy to find as it is under a big blue rounded skyscraper so you can see it from miles away! As for the forums, there...

    Indeed it is! I am back in Devon now, I moved up for a year to renovate a customers house. I bet you anything that after the dust had settled and disapproving looks have faded, she'll be telling all her mates about it, probably not saying "indie has a home cinema" but saying "we have a home...

    I think Camalot would agree that neither of our videos come close to doing the PJ justice. All you hear when someone see the colours, clarity and motion for the first time is "wow"! I use mine frequently in the day with 2 windows in the room and never worry about brightness (and i'm more fussy...

    Quick test of BWUK paint Here's a quick video that I took when I first started setting the PJ up, I know, I know, it's super low res and bad quality.....:rolleyes: Really though, it doesn't even come close to representing what it looks like in real life, or even recorded with a good...

    So the speakers arrived and I was stunned at the build quality and craftsmanship. They really are like no speakers I have seen before, admittedly I haven't been around many really nice speakers and of course there are a lot nicer speakers than this but not within my price range. The...

    Ah no, it's a real shame, in the spoiler below is a post I made on another forum that might help sway you to saving that little bit more :D Ignore the bit on 3D if it doesn't appeal to you but it really is worth the extra, the difference between a £500 50" plasma and a £800 PJ is a whole lot...

    Is this the best R9 290X in the world right now??

    Ah yeah, the pcie connector is printed as well as the fan sticker, she was a bit gutted as the fan sticker soaked up a bit of moisture before she got to take pictures but I still love it :) And her of course! :)

    Is this the best R9 290X in the world right now??

    Haha, my girlfriend is super chuffed with all the great feedback and some ingenious jokes lol. As for "is it real" yep of course! She bought black icing but said it was a nightmare as she couldn't 'dust' the rolling pin or worktop without making the black turn grey. I will get a picture of it...

    Yeah, I see what you mean, but according to the people in the know, this is certainly a way to achieve the depth, pop and contrast of a much more expensive screen. These guys spent £1000's of their own money developing this paint mix (has aluminium in it too) and were driven with huge passion for AV

    The next step was the top coat, unfortunately I didn't get any pictures as I had other things on my mind, as like the primer, it's a one shot deal. Again it was a case of lots of light even coats in perpendicular strokes for each coat to slowly build up uniformity. I was using this spray gun...

    I think we get our info from a very similar source! This is a bit of a retrospective build thread so you will see the outcome shortly! Thanks, more to come very soon PLEASE go with the projector! You will not be sorry! I paid a little over £1000 for the PJ and found an amazing ceiling...

    Is this the best R9 290X in the world right now??

    She just did it really, she had a picture on her phone and a bag of ingredients + a lot of patience. She said the black icing was the worst as it was sticky and she couldn't use icing sugar to dust it when she rolled it or it would make the black go all grey and grain! Haha, genius :d...

    Thanks for the comments everyone! She'll be smiling later when she reads all this :) I'd love for AMD to see this so if anyone knows the right people to show, please show them! She will be chuffed to know how well it's gone down as you can probably see, she put a lot of effort into it and I...
