Building a man cave...advice needed

[Squirrel]

no true man cave is complete without a urinal!

Thats what the sink is for at the bar.

Also I would suggest not getting a pool table unless you play alot. Nice to have but takes up so much room.

that maybe tight sizewise, depending on the setup. i dont pimp barley anything, but after buying russian twins, my projector is next on all-time buys. true man craves need both flat tv and projector. check around newegg.......http://bensbargains.net/ foggle after you pick your viewing mode. i have a few great projector sites as well. have you seen a new HD 100 in+ projector in action? if not find out where you can see for yourself.

I saw an 80"... ok fine i am warming up to the idea...

They actually have one in that room now. I don't want one.

put a fish tank in your man cave

One of the bonus rooms we looked at. The bottom 8 is probably more like a 10 or 11.

You can get a good HD projector for that much and have 106".

I'm not convinced on the picture yet for projector. Plasma is still the best IMO...but I don't need that size anyway.

I have a Panasonic projector. The only downside is you need it to be dark for the best picture. So, my living room is literally a cave.

Outside of that, its awesome.

The parts that make up a man cave are pretty obvious, TV, Pool table, etc. So I'll take the next step:

What theme are you going for?

Personally I'd give my mancave an overarching theme that's very telling of you. What kills me is when someone has way too much stuff in their cave, and none of it agreeing. Golf clubs over here, Porsche pictures over there, Log cabin motif for the bar, and a modern entertainment center. You don't want your cave to look like the walls of an Applebee's.

Couple ideas I've had for when I have my own place:

-My grandfather flew Corsairs in Korea, and I got a lot of his Navy paraphernalia when he passed (Flight Jacket, Helmet, Headphones, Model aircraft carrier, various and sundry paintings of planes and ships), so I've always considered having a Navy themed bar with that stuff on display.

-A Panthers cave is pretty obvious, but it's so hard to find Panthers stuff in D.C., it would be a pain in the ass to stock it.

-Egyptian (although Ozymandias from Watchmen did it already), Comic books, American Muscle cars, beer, and Poland, to name a few.
