I have a IN74EX Infocus DLP PJ. They are about $1300 now. I simply built a drywall frame and put up drywall that's 10' wide by about 6' high. It's huge. 4" of black curtain on top, right and left sides. I have a aluminum bar that holds up a curtain on the bottom. I can raise this to multiple settings for different aspect ratios for movies. The right and left curtains expand inward to box in a 4:3 picture from an old movie. The PJ is about 17' back. I just painted the drywall with Behr Ultra White Flat paint. 3-5 coats and you are good to go. No wrinkles or nothing. Maybe every once in a while apply another coat, but I haven't and it's been almost 2 years. Easy to patch, clean, paint over marks.etc. HD looks awesome.
Went kinda risky this weekend and decided to just attach the screen by staple gun to the drywall and stretch. Worked very well, had no problem with the staples holding (put a stable every inch basically), but this is a cheap way to do it, just staple it up and then frame around.
There's more to PC games than computer towers and input devices... Enter the CM Storm Sirus, the outfit's first foray into the world of gaming headsets.
