Show Your Mancaves
I just finished the trim on my mancave yesterday, so it's officially done. I was renting the basement to a friend attending college & he moved out last month after graduating. The previous owner used it as a rugby party bar, so I had to pull out the corrugated sheet metal ceiling & install sheet rock. The carpet was installed about a year ago. The room is fairly small, 12X12 & opens into a 12x12 kitchen area.
The first thing I bought was a new sectional. I found the TV stand & Fluance SXHTB+ 5.1 speaker system on Craigslist for really good prices. I bought the PS3 the day they dropped the price to $300. I bought the Acoustic Audio HD-SUB12 & Harmony adapter for my PS3 off ebay & picked up the VIZIO VF550XVT1A from Costco. I chose an entry level 5.1 receiver that does everything I need (Denon AVR-1610). The surrounds are hanging near the kitchen. This is my first HD system & it is tough to watch regular TV now. I was able to accomplish this for under $4k, probable less than some of you payed for your TVs alone. I'm pretty pleased with the final result for a buget system. Anyone else care to show off their mancave?

I just powered down the mancave after a pretty long day of actual work.

I've got some pics of my mancave but my wife wouldn't be happy if I showed it to the world. Z-Man would ban me too.

This is all very nice and I am particularly attracted to the studio. Is this mancave thing an American tradition? Where are the stacks of particular magazines? Hidden from the better half, for when she comes vacuum cleaning?

I get 2 mancaves as I have a tri-level house. So the pics with the dual monitors is Mancave 1 and the one with the miked up drums is Mancave 2. We're right in the middle of recording our second CD. Jeremy, anytime you want to come to Atlanta and record a guitar track or 2 let me know.

I was gonna pull a "fixed it for you" by putting this pic of Danica over the leaf thing, but couldn't figure out how to do it correctly with the proper perspective.
