How close was your starting budget to the final bu


Hi Y'all,
Just thought this would be fun. My budgets are usually off by at least 30%-40%. The system I am planning now has grown and I am just in the planning stage. Originally looking at most $7k and I am afraid to start putting pencil to paper to get the current total! Yikes!

I don't know when I will ever be finished, but to this point the project kind of grew on me...
1. Started by comparing Tivo to the cable company DVR. So a few hundred or a monthly fee.
2. Moved to new TV only, thinking would be $2-3,000.
3. Decided to add new surround system and expected would go as high as $10,000.
4. After installation, and including a few minor upgrades in the year since, MSRP on the stuff was about $50,000. Out of pocket more like $35,000 due to taking advantage of specific equipment opportunities.

And worth every penny
