The next logical step once you have a home theater room is to find a way to make it truly unique. Some people do that by having it look like the interior of a real movie theater while others are more interested in turning it into a luxury den. But one home owner in Palm Beach County, FL took their love of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” to its fullest and transformed their home theater into the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D. Geeky? Yes. Something that you are envious of? That too.

The entire Star Trek rec area measuring 70 feet by 22 feet and is actually three rooms: the viewing room, a bar and a lounge area with its own life-sized Robby the Robot model. This Star Trek nerd heaven took six months to build from start to finish and uses one of the largest Kaleidescape hard drive storage systems ever made that contains a whopping 3,816 DVDs worth of viewing material. I bet that half of them are old “Star Trek” episodes. (Sorry but there isn’t a working transporter included in the package.) The doors are motion controlled just like on the real Enterprise and with the touch of one button the room captain can dim the lights and create a Red Alert effect.

If you want to make your own home-based starship you will have to ask the builders at Acoustic Innovations as the cost of this set-up was kept confidential.
