Total of all electronic components with wiring and such came to around $5,000.
All lumber used for coffers is 1x finger jointed poplar. Used 1x8 ripped to dimension for verticals, 1x10 for horizontals. Sizes were dimensioned based upon the depth of the gimbal lights above the columns and the width of the column capitals.
Base and casement trim is also FJP, crown molding was MDF due to the major cost difference. Doors are Western solid cores, knobs by Emtek.
All speaker wires are 12 gauge UL rated for in-wall usage. All other cables and connectors are from Monoprice as well.
110v wiring is all 12/2 with 15A receptacles.
Gimbal lights from Lowes, wall sconces are Minka Lavery.
Total for all building materials came to around $2,000 (much of it in the coffered ceiling materials).
The project took around 2 months to complete from start to finish, of working on it after work each day. I'd estimate that there was about 100 hours in the ceiling construction, a great deal of that in paint work.
The columns/trim/doors/coffers are all done in a BM satin, which is the lightest shade of brown. The walls are of the same swatch, only one color darker, and in flat (to prevent light reflection from the bright projector). The ceiling is one color darker on the same swatch, also in flat. The vertical insides of the coffers behind the crown was also painted with the ceiling color to make the crown stand out more. The dark colors were all chosen to minimize any reflection from the screen.
Now that the room has a closet and an egress window, it can technically be counted as a 4th bedroom in my house when it comes time to sell.
i'm planning on putting backlighting behind my screen. I have this one. I've yet to install it since I just finished drywalling by media room. The backing of the screen is a stretching black rubber which I am sure will absorb some light, but I'll probably only use the lighting when I'm not doing serious viewing. I'll install it mainly to look cool :P
For those of you asking about the screen, here is the link to the one I used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00366KE3I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
There are hundereds of other choices though...
Screen was 250 from Amazon.

As far as other costs you'll probably want to get a receiver and speakers too because the sound on any projector sucks. I think I have my full build with the benQ, a receiver (already have speakers) and screen for around $1200. Hoping cyber Monday will make that a fair amount less.
