Could always have it further down in the cabinet and reflecting off a mirror.

Because when you want to watch a movie, you project it onto a wall or screen  ::)

As for design: remember you're looking at a European site (that's not Canadian french!) so the "Ikea" thing looks fine to me in that context. This wasn't made for US sensibilities, but clearly made by an "artist" to serve multiple purposes in a minimum footprint: gaming, tunes and HT.

Talking about projecting as a marquee.
gryhnd:
I'm not seeing where the projector has anything to do with displaying a marquee. It's just for movies afai can tell.

From the site:

"Il lui permet aussi bien d'écouter de la musique (musique en ligne, CD, station iPod), que de travailler, que de visionner des films, tout en créant un véritable pôle de convivialité où chacun peut partager ses contenus."

The rough translation (my french is rusty) is that it's a multimedia system: music, work, watching films...

This is also born out by the reviews on the site, which state this is a multipurpose unit: "bring(ing) together in one TV cabinet, computer , hi-fi iPhone station, turntable, projector."

The wouldn't call out the projector if all it did was display marquees  :D

Etc etc.

I get that Europeans have a bit different style than many American's do.  I'm just saying that the hollow core cardboard furniture style is similar to the look of this cabinet.  I personally consider that bad.  If Europeans consider that good, then these guys have possibly designed a juggernaut!
