Got it for £500 delivered last year, it's gone up in price a little but well worth the money

Cool
I am about 16ft away and the screen is about 11ft. The pic is playing mw2 and in my eyes, awesome
nice!
The one thing i have been wary about with a projector, is having the room very dark, is that true or can you use it with the curtains open?
You really do need a darkish room, Bright day light really dose make it difficult to see any dakr colours on the screen. I have put up a black out blind in front of the patio doors but still when the sun is out, it can be a little to bright coming from the windows in the other room

It's perfect for the winter though
still, i suppose its not that much of a big deal, i tend to be doing other things when its light outside
Awesome setup Cornwall
MW2 on a PJ =
DLowe - if you are thinking of a PJ mainly for gaming, then a 720p one will be ample, as there are very few games that are actually 1080p anyway (PS3), and none on the 360 as it can only output 1080i max.
The InFocus X9 as Cornwall has is a good choice, also the Optoma HD 65 or HD700X or GT-7000 are very good for the money (they're all the same).
Nitrodave - loving the HTPC
I was tempted to build mine in an old full size DVD player case, but I ended up getting my Silverstone case cheap, so didn't!! The boombox is awesome though!
Thanks for the info, when I am eventually in there the pj will be split 50/50 ps3 and blu ray/DVD so will probably want to go 1080? Or will it not make much noticable difrence?
FWIW buy a decent screen to go with the projector.
I've got a 1080P Sharp projector and motorised screen that I managed to nab when my old offices were decommissioned
Close up of pixels, not too bad really for the size of screen...Cool
If you play MW2 you will now how small this is in the corner of the screen
That is really clear

hallsy, any chance of finding a link for that tv cabinet?
been having real difficulty finding a tv cabinet that will take a full depth media center, also, was the fan system an optional extra or a custom jobbie? any chance of details on it if it was a custom job?
ta
bet that doors fum to get thru
I have trouble getting my media center into the stand it just fits with its feet, but the actual case overhangs the back of my stand by about 3 inchs
yeah my current stand now has no door and the media center sticks out about two inches in front
its also been modified with a circular saw as it was way to wide
