Here is my setup in my unfinished basement. It isn't the most visually stunning but it works for me. The height from my floor to the floor joists is roughly 9.5 ft. and I have plenty of clearance swinging driver (I am 5'10").
My screen frame is roughly (inside dimensions) 9 x 9 ft. 1.5 inch PVC. My screen is the PR20 white net/screen from West Coast Netting (roughly 8'10" x 8'10") to allow for an inch on every side. I just zip tied the net to the frame using the grommets.
My mat is the Ulti-Mat 2 from GolfSimulatorGuys with the Optishot insert. I absolutely LOVE this mat. It sits 2 inches off the ground. Slightly on the expensive side but worth it to me.
I have a BenQ W710ST Short Throw HD DLP Projector. I have it sitting roughly five feet from the screen. Works great.
After seeing after other setups I decided the best thing to do was create direct overhead lighting by constructing a PVC frame and using clamping shop lights with CFL bulbs.
I also am using Almost Golf balls.
After a few weeks of playing, I got very tired of walking back and forth to the laptop to change clubs/distance/shot so I decided to get 2 x Scythe Triple Foot Switches. Makes things much easier for me and a little more realistic is adjusting my shots while looking at the screen.
All in all this came in around $2.5K.
