Thanks ever so much Randy. The ceiling is the last bit I will be installing so I have time to play with the end projector mounting location. I will look into this further. The one thing that I do know so far is that I will be going with a LCD projector over the DLP. There seems to be better pricing and a little more flexibility.

I've heard some poeple say that HDMI was yielding a "better" picture than component connectors. I find that difficult to believe (have not seen any demo examples). There is also other information that seems to indicate degredation in signal quality with longer HDMI runs (typical of a front projector system). Have you come across anything to confirm of deny this?
