These medal rods connect to the ceiling and hold the projector in a floating position towards the screen. I can tell you Atdec makes a projector mount for under 100 dollars. If using a LCD buy a wall mount. After the electronics are placed and the wires are hidden, it is time to add the home theater system lighting and room décor.  

As far as lights go, track lighting built into the ceiling is best but anything that has a dimmer will work. Before adding the couches and DVD home theater stands, diffusers must be added to the walls.

Diffusers are used to eliminate slap echoes and keep sound crisp. They can be seen on the walls in the picture above. Diffusers add depth to the walls. A do it yourself diffuser could be a bookshelf with the rows of books placed at different depths. When completed it will be time to start adding to the DVD collection. Congrats, you are now on the way to an affordable home theater system.
