god when i see 1.6 i wanna cry.... thats nice... projectors are nice... mine will be much better though as im going for a true widescreen ... viewsonics have nothing that does what i want... i want to play on a 16:9 chip and not a 4:3... but any projector is awesome... i would do the write-up but since im gonna be working hell OT till i hit my unknown goal or till christmas I don't have too much time.... I will definitely post a post-purchase writeup with pictures of my room converted into a gaming heaven. i am sorta stuck on the sanyo plv-z3(plv-z4 if i get teh dough) and the panasonic ae700u(ae900u if i get the dough)... with those projectors they have consistently followed a linux like steady release and upgrade each year so the higher models are simply the lower ones with better scaling(i hope) and better contrast ratios.. something like 7000:1 versus 2000:1... a great change... but i doubt the real world is that much... i just pray that i can get the dynamics in lighting that i enjoy on my dell 2005fpw... i like to have the game just bright enough that i can still see my cursor in dust.. the only map that gives me issues if my gamma and such are too high... bla bla ramble ramble... my next question is how do i go wireless... i saw a thread where __TRONIK__ says he has his HTPC wirelessly sending the video signal.. please how do i do that as that will solve my current problem 1 of 2... the other is chucking my two 220cfm 120mm DELTA fans(too damn LOOOUD) for some stealths as the overclock is both not helped enough to justify them(if at all).... and i need to go as wireless as possible... as my pc is int eh left corner of my room and my tv/stereo/ghettertainment center is in the right... with my pc chilling on my line6 spider212 so that the AC hits it just right... oh god...!! i just realized a bigger flaw... the place i plan to put my screen blocks my A/C Unit... hmmm perhaps i can use my other wall... that might work out better... just gotta see the distance to see what sort of picture i can still get... and i will have to create a new shelf to mount it that way... and i will probably definitely need at least a 2.0x zoom which means that a plvz3 may be out of the picture... but a plv-z4 is not... and neither is both of the panasonics as they sport 2.0 zoom... im shooting for 120" or bigger... or just something to brag about... and i will be making or buying a screen because projection on a wall... is weak, ugly, and not practical on my black semi-gloss walls... but yea./..... im gonna treat myself to stealth fans for my water.... an xbox 360, HD projector and screen... and a real 5.1 or 7.1 surround system(as opposed to my 60$ durabrand(yes thats walmarts inhouse brand.. woot 2AM shopping sprees)) and i plan to get a 1000-1500$ hdtv for my folks too if i can work in the OT to get to that too... im looking at an expensive christmas... but my household needs to "technologize responsibly" ::echoes::intechxication:: haha i typed all this in a quick reply?!
