I built the screen frame and ran the wiring in one weekend, including soldering rca or banana plugs on the ends depending on the application. All the equipment (receiver/DVD/surrounds/etc) fits in a big plastic tub (soon to be replaced by a rubbermaid style cabinet) and is all prewired so I just plug in 1 power outlet, the 5 speaker wires and let 'er rip. Takes about 15 minutes to get everything set up.

We used blackout cloth (the fabric they put behind drapes to keep light out) for the screen and paid someone to sew it together.

Now I'm trying to talk myself into buying a big popcorn machine ;-)
