Saving up for a Barco Graphics 808s at the moment - maybe next
Christmas :-)

Nice - My projector is housed in a coffee table like box on the floor
between
a couple of 2 seater sofas, it does mean it occupies the best seating
position,
but the ceiling is way too high to mount from. I wanted a few rows of
cinema
seats and darker walls but got told that was going too far. :-(

I installed blackout roller blinds behind the curtains - just need to
make up some channels for the material to run in to stop light
bleeding in from the sides.
