that's looking cracking. you really need to get that screen sorted asap to one flat sheet though.
Or a close second, a roll of lining paper (two widths/lengths should be enough) and it's matt surface qualities are excellent for projectors (no nasty reflections)

It's from one of the OXPs, not sure which one I'm afraid!

Cheers,

Drew! Thanks for taking the time to put together your Gratuitous demo of Oolite (http://www.oolite.org) - you got the essential first parts working. Maybe use a single large screen? Thumbs up brother!

Have now finished the screen to my satisfaction. All levelled, high-white matt paint and all holes filled and smooth. Looks v. nice. :)

Speakers hidden left and right now, with a subwoofer behind the screen. 8)

I think 400watts is enough, you can hear the laser shots from outside of the house! :shock: 8) :lol:

I think this warrants a whole YouTube video, including a section from outside the house demonstrating the 'neighbour nuisance noise' levels!!

Emphasis switched at the moment... one thousand one hundred years into the past - the glorious age of steam! :)
