Man builds $70,000 Stargate Atlantis home theater

This. Is. Cool.

Stargate Atlantis fan Jacob Yarmuth has built a custom-made, state-of-the-art home theater themed to Stargate.  It includes a Stargate around the 96-inch digital screen, a starscape ceiling, and an Atlantis-style entryway.

The hardware includes a 7-channel surround sound system, Sony “megachangers” that can accommodate some 800 DVDs, THX speakers, and more.

The whole project ran an estimated $70,000.

Check out more photos at Electronic House!  And Jacob, you can invite us over for an SGA marathon any time. We’ll bring the tava beans.

  • This is AWESOME! it is actually my dream to model a house after Destiny! bridge = ultimate gaming room. obesrvation deck = home theatre (window is a giant flatscreen.) mess hall = dining room. gate room = grand entrance room. hydroponics = indoor swimming pool and garden. and have all the doors working in the same fasion. It would be awesome!

  • Agree about the more money than sense thought, but look at all the work and money he gave someone (or many someones) to get it built!

  • Its a beautiful and amazing piece of work, worthy of the USS Enterprise D bridge that was constructed for the Star Trek Experience.
    However - (I cringe at pointing this out) The Gate itself is inaccurate! Its using the Milky Way constellation glyph patterns from the SG1 Gates, rather than the dot matrix style ones of the Pegasus gates.

    Darren what are Tava beans?

  • Man...ppl like this make me convince that Stargate Atlantis movie can be made with kickstarter effort. Make it happen already!!

  • Tava beans are a common crop in the Pegasus Galaxy. They got several mentions in Season One when the expedition was cut off from Earth and looking for trading partners for food and supplies.
