In the next year.

Really all i want is a place to shut the door and watch a movie. I also want a gaming setup.

So surround sound maybe installed, gaming desktop, big ass tv or two, work area. Maybe a small wet/dry bar and a pinball machine.

I'm thinking two TVs so i can watch the game and play X-Box

Any and all advice is needed.

Here's my advice

1. Build your own gaming desktop if you have the know-how, you get much more for your money. You can build a $4,500 Alienware PC for under 1500, without the cool Alienware case of course.

2. Spend the extra money to get an L.E.D. TV they are so nice.

3. Go for a pool table instead of a pinball machine if you have the room, pool is much more fun and in a pinch you can pull some stools up to it and have a makeshift poker table!!

Somebody is loaded.

Work area? Are you really gonna wanna do work in there?

I'm not loaded. I don't know what my budget is going to be yet as I am buying a house. The man cave budget depends on how much house i buy!

As for work, i meant like office work. Nice desk printer etc. And most of the work will be surfing the internet frankly.

So maybe I should have said internet area.

Thanks. The S.O. has enough tech skills that she could do the building.

I recently bought a new house, 4th room FROG turned into the Man-Room.

-46 inch Sharp HD LCD

-Direct TV with NFL Ticket and all movie channels.

-Xbox 360, Wii - with Rockband setup

-Sony receiver with 5 speaker 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound.

-5 disc Sony DVD player (blu-Ray upgrade whenever they get cheaper)

-Shaper Image Message Chair

-Fooseball Table (full size)

-I built a dartboard set up, a 3x3 corkboard, halogen spotlight shinning on dartboard, old school chalk board for keeping score.

-I built a bar, which I stained and polyed. It measures 10 ft long.

-I found a bunch of unique, hand-painted wooden beer signs from a closed down bar. They are very unique looking. Classy, something that you dont see everyday.

I have 2 crawl space attic access doors located on either side of the room. I am eventually going to run all the wire through the walls. Also, I am going to mount the TV on the wall and hide all the boxes in the closet.

As far as an office, I have converted a room downstairs, I guess it should be a formal living room. I bought a huge U-shape wooden desk. It is quite large, and very nice.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Growl · Posted

      Waiting to see how the OT situation plays out is probably going to be a big part of the calculus.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If you draft players who can push the starters in competitions, then you have depth.  Gantt's focus is Week 1, 2026.  That is never my view.  if your focus is on talent alone, and if you do not consider the salary cap, then this is accurate.  If a player making $25m per season can be traded or not renewed because you have a player on a rookie contract who can do the job almost as well--before the maturation and experience occurs, then you may take a small step back for a moment so that you can leap forward later.  About Walker--LTs have done pretty well in Green Bay's system.  He is a good pass protector, and so is Freeling. About DT--they are often rotational.  Hunter will still play and he will improve with experience.  The WR field is not that crowded.  If you have 5 different WRs who can play, they usually do.  Hecht might have the best opportunity to take a starting job, and he is a fifth rounder.   So you look at the cap and the idea is to start as many on rookie contracts as possible.  Does that mean to start rookies day 1.  Nope.

      It better be, if it wasn't for the Stank line we might have lost in the first round - Ottawa found a way to shut down our first line completely.
