Decorate your office for:
Left 4 Dead Posters (http://store.valvesoftware.com/productshowcase/productshowcase_L4D-MoviePosterPack.html) - $15 for four
22 x 28 inch Poster Frames - $10 each at Michaels
Crescent matboard 32 x 40" Photo Gray (http://www.dickblick.com/products/crescent-regular-surface-matboard-grays-and-blacks/) - $6.79 each (you'll need four)
Total cost - $82.16 + S&H
I use a Dexter Mat Cutter (http://www.dickblick.com/products/dexter-mat-cutter/) to cut my mats and I love it. After just a little practice you get superb mats at a fraction of the cost.
The posters come with simulated wear and tear. After cutting the matboard to size I decided to extend that wear onto the mats with some small sculpting chisels. The result is a completely custom look that fits the prints perfectly.

The final results look like this. Nice!
