Well the thing is that projector screens 100"+ almost start at $500. So I am gonna build my own. My only problem is finding the right material for the actual screen. I have done some research but Haven't found something saying "BUY THIS FABRIC." So I am still looking.
If anyone has experience or knowledge of this subject I would love to know.

I have seen people project it on both their walls and on bed sheets. Obviously a screen looks better and isn't as "ghetto," but it worked.
-
Speaking from experience, don't project porn on a sheet over a window. It stops the traffic right in front of your house. :lolz:

My Dad made compartments in the wall for the speakers and covered them in that stretchy stuff that is in a criuss cross pattern... And Is thin... If you know what I mean, also Dark walls are good and A projector is best susspended from the ceiling
Seriously I don't know what I would do without your words of pure intellect and grace. You sir are fucking genius. "that stretchy stuff that is in a criuss cross pattern... And Is thin..." No one could have explained that better.
If any one with ACTUAL knowledge on the subject could chime in I would appreciate it.
Thanks

No need for fabric... A nice flat wall with the best purest white flat paint you can find, is all you need.

Problem is I live in a 930 sq ft apt. with no flat walls and I can't paint it. The wall I got it set up on now isn't bad tho but I do still wanna make a screen. Ill post pics when I finish this bitch.

For $80 you basically have a 100-110" screen made with the actual screen material lol.
-
So I set up the projector just on the wall. At night the picture is phenomenal, but during the day I can't say as much. It's not bad at all tho. I can't decide what I will end up doing just yet. My buddy moves in on saturday so we'll see what he thinks. Either way Ill post some pics after it is all said and done.

So we built the screen...
Pic of my roomate in front of it. He's about 5'10"
(http://www.mafiaowns.com/mfs/ih/IMG952222.jpg)
The picture is about 145" diagonal. Fuckin phat...
We just finished it up last night so still setting up the rest of the room. (ill post more pictures when we finish the room up. We have a nice sound system coming in from the roommates momma soon. All in all... It is almost too damn big, hah!. You have to turn your head when playing video games (but its still almost unfair to everyone you're playing (unless they're playing me)). Cant wait to watch some football on this mofucka.

How clean is the wiring? Nice job.
-
Post your next pic with porn on the screen. :evil:
-
My god... why haven't I done this?
I mean, yes... My 50" Plasma is sexy, but this would be EPIC!
Nice job.

You have been to busy perfecting your basement torture chamber. Oh and spending time with MG down there.
