EPTFor media, why not just make a HTPC? You said you didn't want to add a whole desktop but the cases you can get for HTPCs are very small and they look very nice still. It just looks like another receiver.

A 92" LED TV would no doubt have deeper blacks than my projector, but at an extremely higher price. Overall the picture quality on my project is still great and I can still watch all my goodies in full 1080p | ||

Also, if you don't mind me asking, around how much did it cost you overall? I would total at around 4-6k at the price I paid for everything brand new. The exact same setup now would probably be a good penny cheaper. | ||

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini On the home theater i'd go for better speakers. Those small satelites don't look like they can really fill the room. Half the experience when watching movies is the sound imo. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DzwN5.jpg) I made this screen (stole the idea from some DIY site). It's it was still somewhat daytime outside. Got the RX-V867, Boston Acoustics 5.1 (add 2 back speakers for 7.1). But in the end I bit the bullet and just made a HTPC. All you need is a i-3 CPU/mobo and get budget RAM/case/ and PSU(300w). There was just no way else to watch MLG and GSL but with a HTPC on my projector. | ||
