I have been working on building a new garage for the past year and finally have it far enough along to consider it a real Man Cave! 8-) Living in NW Iowa there just isnt much for a Packers fan to do as this area is horribly infected with Vikings fans :lol:
I had about 10 guys over this weekend to watch the Packers vs. Vikings game. Even though we lost it was a really great time. I was cooking most of the time so I didn’t have a lot of time to get into the game, which is probably a good thing since all my Friends are Vikings fans and I probably would have punched one of them! Yep, not a single Packers fan in the neighborhood! :cry: (For the most part we stay civil)
As far as my setup goes I can take advantage of the full width of the screen when watching movies that use Anamorphic Widescreen and have 108" of screen real estate! When watching something that uses 16:9 ratio (which what the HD Broadcast is) I get around 96" screen. I also have a decent 5.1 Sound system that can rumble the concrete floor pretty good as well.
On Halloween we had all the neighborhood kids over and played Wii games on it and then watched the movie "Monster House".
Over all its a pretty decent setup that I don’t have much more than $1000 invested in.
I didnt do a very good job converting these images. I compressed the hell out of them but I didnt change the resolution. They arent all that good looking and they will take up the entire screen, so I will post them as links instead of images in the post.
So even though I have only made it to Green Bay once, I can still enjoy a Packers game here in Iowa :)
