Anyone ever converted their garage?

I have a big two car garage attached to my house with access through the kitchen. It is as far away from the bedrooms and other living areas of the house as possible. It seems like it's always full of junk and sporting gear to the point where the cars are in the driveway. My wife threw the idea my way today of converting the garage to audio room and putting a shed out back for lawn care equip., and keeping all the sports stuff in our walk out basement.

Anyone here ever convert their garage for audio? Seems like a good way to go: electrical service panel right there, concrete floor, structure already built, etc.....

I converted my garage and am very happy with the results. For one thing I can play music at any time of the day or night without disturbing the rest of the family.
One of the best things about converting a garage is you are starting with a blank slate. Before you move in any audio equipment or furniture give thought to any need of changing the room dimensions, insulation, wall stiffining, etc. If you get the room right it will be like you bought all new speakers and electronics.
Also, think about heat in the winter, how to keep it cool in the summer.
