Build It: Convert Your Home Office Into the Ultimate Home Theatre

By MaximumPC, published 27-06-2011

Is it possible to convert a standard home office into a surround sound home theater with minimal fuss? I have an average-size spare bedroom that mostly functions as a home office and gaming room, and has been used primarily by me. Given the cramped quarters of San Francisco apartments, I set out to make the room less me-centric and more family-friendly by transforming this home office into a home office theater. The goal was to create a room suitable for three things: normal PC computing, big-screen surround sound movie viewing with no reconfiguration needed, and big-screen gaming. Ancillary goals were to make the room feel less like a cluttered man cave, and to avoid breaking the bank. For the most part, I think I got this one right.
