Sounds cool. We do a lot of pausing and discussing movies so I might build a soundproof box for it like I did for my computers. If you get the ventilation right, heating isn't a problem.

My next expense is going to be upgrading my computer room - which is a repurposed closet in the media room. I've got 10 systems running 60 cores and 2 NASs (as a small render farm and my network media server) so heat is becoming an issue. The contractor said he can install a cool soundproof glass system in this slanted pattern along with better ventilation.

My next project I'm calling the holodeck. I want to get several small LED projectors to create mood lighting in the room. Like virtual gothic wall sconces and ceiling for watching horror movies etc. But I'm still in the experimental stages...

There would be no need to build a box for that unit at all.

What do you do that you have all those systems? I'm curious.

It's a small render farm I use for 3d FX projects. I work on a few indie films as a hobby...did some music videos and couple commercials too. Nothing huge.

But none of that's work, I'm just a boring attorney by day.

Well, sounds like you got another fascinating hobby. You were the first person on here that said they had done ghost investigating too.

Yeah, I needed something to do when I quit ghost hunting.

Which reminds me, an old friend said she saw an almost solid shadow figure last weekend in Reno. She said she'd send the video if it caught anything.
