    timber was about 350, as i bought plained 3*2s which aren't cheap...and 4 sheets of 1/2 inch ply..there is a lot more wood in it than you'd think.... cant remember exactly how much but about 20 or so 16ft lengths went into it...

    i have the plans somewhere so when i find them ill give you a better overview...

    80 euro for varnish. Serious stuff too, its the kind of stuff clubs use on dance floors...

    screws glue and giving my bro a few bob for helping made up the rest of the cost...

    I was beginning to wonder if Cod players on the Wii existed. If the pc and PS3 are having playing problems, I dread your's.
    Nice set up though.

    A friend of mine with a 360 thinks it's criminal of me to not plug one of them in there but I'm a ninty fanboy 'til I die...you might've noticed the snes and n64 and to be honest, I've got a bluray/pc hooked into it for my hidef needs; don't need anything else :-)

    my Atari 520 STE died over xmas , i had it 24 years lol sad day .

    Started gaming on that same atari myself along with a commadore vic20. Have a dreamcast set up in the other room and a collection of gameboys/virtualboy/nes/gamecube/ps1/pc with momo wheel/pedals in my study so you can probably guess that I love the gaming too :)
    I have a 360 plugged into this screen on a rare occasion where a friend pops over with his but while it's nice to look at and all, I just don't like the auto aim on 360 cod compared to the wii one. I know exactly where I'm shooting with a wii remote (my control settings are set very sensitive) and find it a lot more intuitive but maybe it's just that I'm more used to that compared to old-style controllers like the 360 one. Either way, (and I know this is becomming a cliche coming from a wii owner but..) I am all about the gameplay and control, always was, always will be.
