You all may remember how my HT room has a register but not a fresh air intake...and how I discussed how to keep the room at a decent temperature especially given the extra heat our new projector throws off. Well, I could just crack the door, the window, etc...but I still wanted to do something...so here's what I've come up with:
First I'm gong to punch a hole in the wall that adjoins the family room in the basement.
I'll attach one of these
to the outside wall. The rectangle opening will face the theater room.
Then I'll connect some flexiduct
to the fitting attached the the wall.
After about 2-3 feet or so I'll install this inline duct booster
that will draw the air from the theater room, which I will then vent into the family room.
I'll then cover both openings with one of these
painted to match the wall color.
To power the inline duct booster, I just have to run normal 120 to it which I can branch off from our existing wiring in the ceiling.
To turn on/off the duct fan I'll install one of these
that I'll be able to control with my X10 gear! 
It's an inline relay that allows you to turn things on and off without a hard wired switch!
So basically I'll be able to hit a button on my remote that will turn on the fan, pulling any hot and stale air out of the room!
All of this will be built in a soffit on the family room wall, mirroring the other soffit on the adjacent wall that already houses duct work...so it will be nice and balanced! 8)
I'll of course be documenting every installation/construction step on my website, but I'm just happy to have finally found a solution other than cracking the door! :-y
