I wouldn't worry about a scaler. Digital projectors com "pre-scalered"

Also there's a dedicated Ruby forum right here

What happens when it gets Dish feeds, DVD,VCR, does the Ruby scale them all, or How do you deal with all the different cables: comp.,dvi , hdmi ,S ???

Yes it does,

an external scaler might do a better job,

but the ruby does all that.

If the ruby has enough inputs and you don't mind all the wires,

then that's settled too, you just select the source by remote control.

If you want only one wire going into the ruby (apart from the powercord) I would suggest a scaler that upconverts to HDMI.

You could ask that question in this forum:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=37

And as tryg said, there is a dedicated forum for sxrd/lcos-projectors

and since the ruby is the newest and hottest thing around, it's almost as if it were a dedicated ruby-forum:
