how can i build an attractive home theater for under $3500?

Hello. I need help coming up with things to get for my home theater. My budget is $3500.
- My preferences include an electric 100″+ screen, and an Optoma projector. I also need a reciever, and a nice sound system.
- In terms of decor, I would like four seats (preferibly leather recliners if possible), attractice lights, and wall decor (maybe acoustic panels?), and I am able to get movie posters. I would like a curtian to go across the screen too.
- If someone could help me come up with a design, product list, it would mean the world to me! I cannot design for my life! Thanks a whole bunch!
- No more than $3500!!!!

I hate to say it, but the projector and screen could easily reach or exceed $3,500…The seats, lights, curtains and posters cost equally as much…And we haven’t even talked about the AUDIO EQUIPMENT…Here’s a website to a dealer I vistited who sells what you’re asking for…Check out these prices: http://www.definitiveaudio.com/

The massive brick building sits at the corner of Tillman Avenue and Butternut Street in the residential section adjacent to the three thousand block of Michigan Avenue. The building is an imposing presence in the neighbhorhood of small, late nineteenth century houses and cottages, measuring seventy feet on Tillman and one hundred feet on Butternut. The design of the structure is urban and pedestrian friendly, with no setback from the sidewalk and double door entrances on both Tillman and Butternut. A review of Sanborn Insurance maps from the time period shows that the building was originally built without a parking lot, indicating a pedestrian connection with the surrounding neighborhood.

Fairbairn-sykes Commando Dagger $17.95 The Fairbairn-Sykes Commando dagger has become iconic as the most widely recognized fighting knife in the world. The origins of the dagger can be traced to Shanghai in the 1930s where W. E. Fairbairn and US Marine officers including Sam Yeaton carried out experiments in developing what they considered the perfect knife for close combat. When Fairbairn and Sykes became instructors for the Commandos, they refined the design which would evolve into the classic Fairbairn-Sykes dagger. The dagger was first used during early Commando raids into occupied Europe but saw action in every theatre of World War II. US Rangers and Marines who had trained with the Commandos took their Fairbairn-Sykes daggers home which also influenced the development of American Special Forces daggers. The Fairbairn-Sykes remained in use with many units after the war, and has become a symbol of commando and special forces units throughout the world.
