I've used a projector maybe half a dozen times, I"m not well versed with the technology, but have wanted one now for a while . Some relatives have a nice projector setup and I've been able to appreciate their system for the last few years.
So here's the plan, using components I mostly have and clearing out a room in my house that I don't use much.
Room Dimensions are 14' Long x 12' wide and I have a closet at the backend with a shelf about 6'6" high where I can mount my projector, dead center, kind of convenient that it's already there. The ceiling is 8' and the floors are maple, a few years old, and...under that is a concrete slab.
I picked up an Elite Screens Tripod B, 119-INCH Diag. , so I can get things staged, I don't want to do anything to the walls yet, this way if we change our minds, we have a little flexibility and the price is reasonable.
The idea is to stage the room, get a feel for the experience, and take it from there. Then we can design how to want to upgrade the room which will be for watching/streaming from my NAS server, Netflix, Hulu, and the usually available streaming services and BlueRay player.
I located a refurbished BenQ TK800m for the right price and decided that's where we'll start, not too much money and I think I can sell it, when I'm ready to upgrade.

My expectations are not high, but I'm pretty sure I can accomplish this setup without too much work, and take it from there. No furniture plans yet, we do have a couch in the room now as well. Electrician, more equipment, and much more research are next and while I'm researching, I'll have something I can relate to, i.e. a lab environment of sorts.
