[QUOTE="JDragon, post: 5272278, member: 780"] OD, you actually don't have to worry about getting the projector out to the middle of your image. Most projectors are set up so that when they are on a table in normal use the bottom of your image is more or less even with the bottom of the lens and the image spreads up from the projector. I hope that made sense. So as a result, using the image Ferghis posted, having your projector right next to the support pole will not be an issue, because your image will go out from it. Another thing to be aware of with set ups like this is if the projector is facing straight down you could end up damaging it. This is because the hotest part of most projectors is the lens putting out all that light. Normally if the projector is sitting on a table that heat goes up with no problem. In the hanging set up that heat will go up through the projector, [u]possibly[/u] causing damage over time. You may be better off having the projector level with a mirror at an angle in front of it to direct the image down. Just a few more thoughts for you. If I thought my wife would let me get a second projector just for gaming I would be looking at doing a set up like this myself for when I do Cons. [/QUOTE]
