Let me know how you like it, noise levels, etc. I still want to get one for movies and games, but I learned a couple of lessons about projectors when I brought one home from work. The two biggest problems were fan noise, which was very noticible when watching movies and you were in a quieter part, and the contrast ratio which meant that what was supposed to be black was actually kind of dark grey.

EDIT: looked at the specs, it doesn’t look like it would meet my needs. Contrast ratio is pretty good, but it isn’t bright enough for my application, plus I want at least 1024x768 native resolution.
