Looks awesome. I may have to buy a bigger house just to fit something like this in. :D

Now, THAT's my kind of bezel management. ;)

Have you considered any golf software?

Na, I need the exercise from real golf, more than I need to simulate it. One would think this would work great with a golf sim too though. The basement room this is in has a low ceiling, so it's not going to handle any golf club swinging. My gaming interests are mostly MMO, strategy and flight/racing sims, although I'm only decent at MMOs. My main goal is to do life size immersive projection on a budget and see if I can pull it off. So far, so good imho.

I didn't make any progress on the room today. Putting up the ceiling the other day really wore me out. I really need to get the side walls up and everything painted so I can put in the circular screen mounts and the projector mounts to finish out the room. I am really itching to get the 180 degree circular screen running. According to shipping information my wall screen arrives today. Hopefully I'll have that screen built in short order, but for now the goal is to finish boxing out the room and painting it. That still leaves me wondering what mateial to velcro up for the circular screen as it's got to be a light material yet have decent screen properties and not cost a mint.

I want to play Eve Online and have it look like the Enterprise-E Stellar Cartography: :shock:

If you do, I think you might have AMD wanting to take pics... 8)

"This is something you can do with EyeFinity!" (obviously it would probably be doable with TH2Go, as well... ;))

Considering I'm currently using DH2G Digital and TH2G Digital to prototype out the screen setup waiting on the 6-port EyeFinity card....yes, you're right. :wink:

If they want me to demo the 6-port card in a real world hobby environment they can send one my way with whatever NDA is required and I'd be happy to do a writeup on it and compare it to the TH2G. While it's cool, this is formerly a spider infested unfinished basement. I'm sure they could pull it off in much grander scale with less spiders. My goal is to go 6-port card once it's available. All I'll have to do is drop it into the system and away we go. Also the room was specificly framed out to be a perfect square, so I can come in later and do the back 180 degree screen as budget allows. :D

Currently:
2.39:1 2-projector wall screen DH2G Digital.
180 degree 3-projector circular screen TH2G Digital
Vista 32 Home Premium
Sol7 Home Sim Edition

Future:
2.39:1 2 projector wall screen EyeFinity6.
180/240/300/360 degree 3/4/5/6-projector circular screen EyeFinity6 (as budget allows)
Windows 7 32 Professional
Sol7 Home Sim Edition

I'll be updating this thread a bit today with a backlog of pics and build log update. I've changed the title of the thread to "Gaming Room Circular Projection Build Log" to better describe the current configuration of the build (and lack of the EyeFinity 6-port card at this point). Right now I'm finally about where I planned on being about this time last week. I think there is a saying that goes "the best laid plans..." :lol:

Anyways, pictures to follow later on today. :D
