iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 28, 2004 Oh man, that THG article was awesome! You could make your own movie room on a budget! Just do it like at the theaters, where the viewers sit in one room, and the projector is in another room projecting the image through a glass window. I'd do it if I had the room.
