    Build A 3-D Home Theater

    There’s one thing I’ve always wanted:  a home theater.  I’ve talked about this time and time again.  However, there’s one thing better than a home theater, and that’s a home 3-D theater.  Little did I know you could build your own from scratch for the low, low price of $300.  Seriously!

    Not only do they have step-by-step written directions, they also have a how-to video, a schematic like the one seen off to your side, and even places to go out and get good 3-D content for your personal viewing pleasure.  That’s pretty awesome, isn’t it?  It’s the complete set-up, the software needed, a calibration guide, and even the stuff to watch to test out your new 3-D system.

    The only hard part to this whole affair would be finding two circa 2005 plasma screen televisions and a piece of very thin two-way mirrored glass.  Well, that and finding a pair of old-school 3-D glasses.  Other than that, it looks easier than building your own desktop computer or putting together a DVD rack!  I may have to keep my eye on eBay to see if I can put one of these together on the cheap.
