As per title. There's a room and the wife/missus says its yours,do what you want. What would you do?

(along the lines of games,music,small cinema,what decor etc,etc.)

well, under the presumption that I already had a computer room, I would install a gym (something which I have just done in my garage and it's great!)

If you had a computer room what would be in it. Just a desk,desktop and chair?

Everyone,use your imagination. Its a room with no rules,its totally up to you.

Sonic would probably have all his recording studio set back up, if the room was big enough

Yep,
Been there, done that.
Well actually still in the middle of doing it.
It was the Dining room, massive table in it 12 or so chairs round it and no one had sat in them for a good few years..
Suggested I need my own room as the bedroom was just not "cool" to have friends round (unless female)
So I stripped it out, put up some sound deadening, blocked off the double doors to the Living room and turned it into my own little entertainment room.
43" plasma,
Denon amps, DVD player and reciever.
PS2
Leather sofa
Beer fridge
and networked PC linked into 5.1 and the plasma.
Easy boy chair for myself and we're sorted..

Well almost... just have to get rid of the flowery curtains and the transformation will be complete.

who needs HD

Not that effective when the Denon is on -5dB

75x50 battoning and rockwool then plasterboarded over.

plates hanging on wall in living room still rattle and hum.

nice list,think i'll put me size nine down with a bit of weight now. BEER FRIDGE how the hell did i miss this of my want list.

for sound proofing stud out the walls with 75x50 fill with 75mm acoustic roll insulation. then plasterboard with gypsum soundbloc plasterboards. or cover the walls with egg trays
