hey boys and girls, i've been reading this topic and there's some nice setups in here... i stumbled into a projector setup when a friend of mine was upgrading to a z5 from a z2, basically i got the thing at a steal of a price and am well happy with it considering how little it cost.

the setup has evolved slowly over time and is currently where i'm happy with it. to be honest i don't use it all that much as i like to keep it 'special' if you know what i mean, when i use it, it's a treat.

it's a sanyo z2 so nothing amazing, but is certainly a jaw dropper when people come over to play some games or watch a film. it's being projected onto a grandview screen which is 92" diagonal and is fed pictures from a gamecube, 360 and a philips dvd player which'll read anything you throw at it.









eventually i'll upgrade to something nicer, i'll probably do it the next time the bulb explodes so i've got about a year or so of viewing (assuming this one lasts as long as the last one did) before i'll shell out.

also if you're interested the sound setup is a set of mordaunt short genies with sub hooked up to a cambridge audio 6.1 receiver. the tdl floorstanders serve 2 purposes, they get my front speakers at a nice height and they work off the cambridge audio stereo amp sat in the unit beneath for whan i want to listen to music properly.

Wow, is that an electric screen mounted upside down?

Ha, no it's a pulldown screen with a busted mechanism mounted upside down... the guy I bought the projector off had it going spare and seeing as I didn't (and still don't) have a wall to project onto nor enough cash to buy a proper screen, this did the trick lovely.

It's a little bit knackered and you can plainly see ripples on it but whatever, it'll do for now... I've just had to lay out $500 on vet bills so i won't be buying a screen this month :(
