i'd like to offer a small piece of advice. i have a gameroom myself and i discovered that having carpet is not such a great idea. beer, paraphanaila liquids, cheese dip, and god only knows what else gets spilled on it and it starts looking amd smelling like discolored ass within a year. no matter how much you clean and vaccum carpet it still accumalates dust, dirt, and other nasty crap which is unhealthy for high end electronics.

skip the permanent carpet idea and use your existing subfloor. if it's wooden flooring then all the better, if it's concrete then paint it to match the room, or do what i did and get a nice large area rug. it's much easier to take a rug outside and clean it than it is to do inside without throwing the dirt and everything into the air where it could damage your equipment, or as is the case with my girlfriend, screw up her allergies.
