    My "cave" is basically my home office. It looks like a cave where a gigantic pack rat decided to store everything from computers and fax machines to dumbbells and gun safes. I'd really have to use my imagination to fit a big screen TV in it.


    My only entertainment is an ancient "boom box". Guess it will have to do 'til retirement.

      That's me, minus the gun safe and boom box. If I want music, I open iTunes on the computer.

        The boom box is a relic from my youth but still works. I'm usually right in front of the computer and could listen to about anything without turning the old radio on but I turn it on anyway. I've just done it for so long that it's ingrained.

          Hubby doesn't have a man cave yet but as soon as I buy a large chair and lamp for the library, I am pretty sure that will turn into is version, lol.

            Most of my home is man-cave-ish, but the "official" one is in the basement great room. I've got a projector throwing up a 160" picture for screening movies or gaming with the XBOX360, with auxillary 32" LCDs mounted in the corners. Theater-style seating and a couch for lounging. Dolby 5.1 digital surround sound, naturally. HTPC with 2 TB of storage feeding it all. And don't forget the mini-fridge/freezer and kegerator. The "men's" bathroom is down there, too.

                  Um, well, DH has a shop that is bigger than the house. The house is 1024 sqft, his shop is 1080 sqft. He has all his guy crap out there. But, he also uses it to work on the cars, which saves us a ton of money. So, I figure his shop earns it's keep.

                    I'm unmarried and rent, but my quasi-man-cave is the garage. I spend a lot of time working on my car.

                      I have a "girl cave" which is where I keep all my electronic toys. I also call it the bedroom of my youth

                      But I live alone in a two bedroom apartment, so it's really just a spare room where I keep all my toys that shouldn't be cluttering the rest of my apartment, with a girly touch.

                        I have a split level house which is basically 4 floors and my man cave is pretty much an entire floor... it's an open office with a huge tv and a bathroom. Pretty sweet.

                        The garage is also my domain as well...

                            No man cave for my husband. He works all the time and doesn't even know how to turn on a computer! Our tv is 20 inches and about 15 years old.

                                One day I hope to have a man cave. I've always wanted a room with a pool table and a big screen on the wall. I have other goals that need to be accomplished first, but once they are the man cave will move it's way up the list
