"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid!"
Here's my theater setup:
HTPC: Well you can see the components to the left
HDTV: Olevia 232T
Projection Screen: Elite Screens 140" Manual
Projector: BenQ MP610
Audio: Onkyo HT-S3200
Here's my small apartment. It isn't much, but it works for me. Note the black out curtains. I really need to get rid of the futon and pick up a stand for the center speaker.
This is the every day setup. The sound system isn't used, here. Audio is just through the HDTV.
Here's my baby. The BenQ MP610 (I need to dust). With about a 19' throw distance, I can get about a 135" diagonal on the screen
With the curtains drawn and the screen pulled down, it get's plenty dark enough; even in the middle of the day.
Here's the display (without the camera flash).
Just for reference, here's the seating arrangement.
Like I said, she isn't much, but she does deliver. Now that I'm working again, I'm drooling over a new 1080p projector and adding a Blu-Ray player to my HTPC.

Milli - If you've got the space for one, you gotta get one. The only down side for me is that I have to wait three to six months for a movie's DVD release (as opposed to seeing it in the theater). Otherwise, it's better food/drinks and no one talking around you. When was the last time you had deep fried shrimp, chicken wings, a philly cheesesteak, or even a full blown dinner at a movie theater? And for me, it's not just movies. Sundays during (American) football season are Heaven!

Very nice! that big screen looks amazing, I always fancied a projector and screen but my living room just isn't big enough I don't think!
