A/V Suggestions on Room Entertainment

[BanginGMC]

I am planning on finally stepping up the entertainment system in my room like i've planned for a while, this is going to be strictly for Gaming and Movies. Luckily for me, the foot print of the room isn't huge.. so a lot of big equipment won't be needed, I can get measurements of the room if necessary.

Before I get ahead of myself with listing equipment, right now I need suggestions on the following:

*Home Theater in a Box 7.1 or 5.1 surround system w/ a receiver to power them that's compatible with a gaming console such as an Xbox360 and PS3

(The budget is roughly 700.00)

*Projector with a really high resolution.

(The budget is roughly 1000.00)

*Projection Screen 50"+

(The budget is roughly 400.00)

Now, if i could get a great 50"+ TV for around the price of the Projector and screen put together, i'll definitely go with that.. seeing as mounting the projector will be tricky, but I am looking for the best bang for my buck

So generally the overall budget is roughly 2100.00 but as you can see I have a higher budget for whats more important to me in the build.. BUT if necessary, I will spend more.

One Projector I was looking at was Epson - PowerLite Home Cinema 8100 Projector

A motorized screen would be kick ass, but those can get expensive as i'm seeing on BestBuy.com. The lighting in the room can be completely dark because i know sunlight can effect the picture on the screen.. but that isn't an issue here. The length I would be having the Projector on would vary from 1-8 hours at a time, possibly more if I pull an all nighter.

I have looked into TV's, but i haven't really been confident with my choices because i suck at buying TV's.

List of TV's from BestBuy.com i've been looking at.

I would like to buy locally, just in case something goes wrong I can return it to the store and talk to the people face to face.. but if not, that's okay too.

Also, for reference, games I play are the Call Of Duty's, and the volume would be more then halfway up as I play.. so the HTIB would have to be able to handle that.

Please let me know if I left any information out that would help you help me

Thanks,

Dom.

Ditch the HTIB, not only can I not stand them (wait, why does that matter?), but they are horrible. I bet that with a bit of searching, you can very easily put together a very nice home theater system using REAL speakers. A 15" in a low (~20hz) tuned box or a horn of some kind (if you have space), a secondhand receiver, and some nice speakers will have that COD knocking down the house.

I ain't lying, secondhand really is FTMFW if you know what to look for.

EDIT: Just so you know, my subwoofer (15" infinity BETA in a homemade box) cost more than the speakers, amp, eq, tuner, etc. and it still was far less than your budget.
