Now I’ve more or less completely replaced my Home Cinema for the umpteenth time, I'm now happy with the Grimleyplex at the moment. I’ve spent a lot of money collecting DVD’s over the years & I’ve begun to replace them with Blu-ray discs, which will be a slow & expensive process (I thought replacing my VHS video collection was expensive too!) All the HD-DVD’s I owned I’ve sold on ebay, I’m keeping an eye out for blu-ray replacements & getting them when I think the time is right. The dedicated Hi-def PC has become my gaming rig for when the nephews come round. If HD film downloads become common & affordable, I’ll upgrade the everyday PC to do the job! An upgrade to better projector & a bigger telly with freeview is on the cards, but not for some years, I’m not made of money you know, despite what some of my friends say! I just want to state on here (this my site after all!) I have NO INTENTION WHATSOEVER of ‘upgrading’ to 3D, because I think its crap & is a fad! I could be moving house at some point in the future, so all the gear & discs may well have to go & that will be the end of the Grimleyplex! (won’t know that until the move is made!) I’ve got I want at last (6.1 sound, HD sound & picture & a BIG Screen) I’ve accommodated the projector, but its ventilation may be obstructed by being in the wardrobe, only time & use will tell. (been OK so far though) To be honest, I’ve not used the Grimleyplex as much as I’ve wanted to since 2005, due to selling bits & pieces on Ebay & various forum classified adverts. I surf the internet most days too, so it has taken a back seat for some time to come as I now have other priorities. (I socialise a lot more than I used to since I became a member of my local Lions Club) I will try to use it more often as I’m now beginning to buy more classic films on disc & watch them on the projector just to see what its like to watch those kind of films on a “BIG SCREEN”! My bedroom is only 10' x 13', so it has been a lot of hassle to upgrade it to 6.1 & install a big screen, including wiring an extra speaker or via the loft. Prior to 2004, the last upgrade was the subwoofer (in September 2002) to a MJ Acoustics Pro 50 model. After over 20 years of system building and spending almost £15k on Home Cinema hardware & software, It's been one hell of a ride!!
