A Buddy of mine is renovating his house and wants to build a home theater. He has alot of money to spend so opinions wanted please ;)

He wants a 1080p projector
Scaler
Amp
Media Server
HTPC
Recessed speakers
Killer sub

I know this is very vague but to more answers the better!
 
amblix, is the $10K the real budget? If so, it will go very fast with the list of components.

If you are using a HTPC for video rendering, you don't need a scaler.

Don't forget about a screen for the projector.

Wiring too.

5.1, or 7.1 system? Light controlled room or not controlled?
Recessed speakers including sub? What is the construction of the room - 2x4 / 2x6 / no stud basement? Size of room (including ceiling)?
 
No kidding. My projector was about $7k and it's not native 1080.
A good scaler is a couple grand or more... or the Htpc might be similar.

It can be done, but realize $10k is very little money for this sort of project - and I'm pretty cheap.

How 'bout info on the room to go with the budget?
