projector

 

It’s time folks!! We all have a TV in our Man Cave but how many of us have a nice wall projector for that great Cave Theater experience? Well it’s time to review a few of the beasts and see what all the outside world has to offer. I like to call it our own little slice of Man Cave Heaven.

A common misconception when it comes to projectors is they cannot get the resolution that a normal TV can get. This is not true at all. You can easily find quite a few projectors that get just as high of resolution as your favorite Big Screen TV (Full 1080p) at half the cost. Plus with the right environment you can get a picture that is twice the size of the biggest TV’s! One thing you do have to keep in mind when buying a projector is what kind of lighting do I have in my Man Cave? The reason you need to ask yourself this question, is how much light you have in the room WILL reflect on a projectors picture quality! Luckily most of us like our Man Caves nice and dark so it shouldn’t be to big of a problem. Next up are our reviews of some of the best projectors out there for your buck!

7.1surround

 

Have you ever been over to a buddies house and wondered how he has speakers half the size of yours yet it seems to sound 100 times better? It’s time to do something about it! It’s time to talk about how you can get the best sound for your Man Cave while still keeping within your budget.

The first thing you need is a surround sound system. Now for those of you that are new to the surround sound arena let me give you a few tips.

  1. You don’t need to buy the most expensive system to get great sound! (although it is good to have some high quality speakers.)
  2. Know what you want! Do you want Dolby Digital® 5.1, Dolby TrueHD® 7.1, or DTS®
  3. What is the size of your room? Do you know if you are going to go wireless or not? (this is technically one question. Based on the room size and shape you may opt to go wireless.)
  4. You need to know how much you can spend before going out and setting up a system. Do your research to know exactly how much it will cost for what you want so there are no surprises.
  5. Get ready to live!

Now that you have figured out exactly what you want how do you go about choosing? Well you could take your friend who has the great sounding surround already… Or you can jump online and see what others have gotten and how they rate the things in your price range. You will come to find out that like I said earlier, it’s not always how much you spend to get great surround. Click the read link to find out how to setup your new surround system. continue reading…

Man Cave VS!

 

So the age long dilemna in every Man Cave has been Foosball table or Pool table (don’t get us started on darts, thats a whole different post!)? Well for the purpose of this exciting little foray into the man cave psychy let’s talk pros and cons! First you should learn about the history of both sports.

To find out the history behind Foosball check out The history of Foosball over at www.foosball.com. Then to learn a little more about Pool why don’t you head over to Pool and Billiards history over at www.poolhistory.com. Now that you’ve read the exciting history of the two sports we can summarize them both in one word, and that one word is “Awesome”!

Now to make any major decisions you have to ask yourself a few simple questions like

  1. How much room does my Man Cave Have?
  2. Is my Man Cave inside a frat house, and if so is the said table going to be used for beer pong tournaments as well? (Very important question!)
  3. Do my friends mind the one wall that will make almost any shot impossible?
  4. Do I need ample room (on said table) to sit my beer and cigarettes while I play a game?

Based on your answers to these four basic questions you should have a clear idea of what form of table fits your Man Cave the best. Now if you still need a little more info to help you choose what table is best for your Man Cave, leave us some comments and we’ll be sure to help you out!

By the way since this is about what you should or could have in your Man Cave so here are a couple of the higher end tables just to get you drooling!! Enjoy!
