Looking to the Future: Cabling for projector

["Don McAllister" <donmc@xxxxxxx>]

(Sorry for the cross post UKHA_Tivo members - meant to post in ukha_d!)

In the midst of some unexpected decorating due to a sudden urge of
SWMBO. 

I've put in an order for some of that nice hollow plastic skirting so I
can tidy up the bundle of wires going from the room where all the kit
is
to the room where the TV is!

I have this gut feeling that whilst I've got the room stripped and I'll
be channeling for some extra lighting I should really put in some
cables
for a projector on the rear wall. Well, you never know!

What should I be running to the probable projector location: power and
cat5 for a KAT5 module, but what else?

What is the optimum height from the ceiling this should be positioned
at? There is a maximum distance of about 11 foot between rear wall and
possible screen location. Thinking of something like an Epson EMP 51 as
per Ian Lowes recommendation. What size screen image would this
generate?

PS Did someone mention some sort of powered tool a while ago to assist
in channeling walls - what was it called and can you hire them?

TIA

Don
