I'm thinking of installing my lt150 in the ceiling since I am building my HT and have this as an option.
Here is how I think this might work. The projector would be placed between two floor joists(wood I beams) in my basement HT. This would be 12.5 ft from the screen location. The power cabe would be in the floor joists as well as the vga cable. The projector will sit on a 9.5 inch LVL(glum lam) which runs across the room. The projector will only be about 5 inches into the ceiling. The ceiling sheetrock would then be sloped at an angle to then matchup to the rest of the ceiling. This would be about 4 feet of sloped ceiling.
The project would be vented toward the opposite end of the joists which will remain open. I might add a fan to promote airflow. This will only be about 8 ft.
This would somewhat hide the pj and act as a hushbox. I would then slide a front access panel(painted board or polystyreene) with project hole in front.
Any comments or observations?
