I have a game room (upstairs, over the garage). Pool/ping pong table. Couch for watching movies/sports. I went with a Viewsonic Projector I got for around $700. I put drapes up over several of the windows/french doors. I painted my own...

Viewsonic (and many more) are on sale today at Newegg. look that the other thread here! Viewsonic Pro8200 ends up being $679 w/ free shipping.
