Projector Location
VanillaGorilla:
bolt it to the ceiling. Only way to go, especially if you dont have a short throw lens. Seriously, just put it up there. Monoprice.com has great deals on the mounts too, like 35 buck, if its still the same as when I bought mine.

Nope. Cannot do a ceiling mount. I have been told by the powers that be, that my life would not be worth living if I embarked on that direction.
So it looks like a shelf.
I just need a 240v clover plug cord that can be flat enough to be flush with the wall. I have the VGA cable that is tiny.
Maybe it would be cheaper to get a 70" LCD instead... ;D

Do it anyway... life is too short.
What are you chicken McFly?
Although it is possible to put a projector on a shelf, it requires constant fiddeling as opposed to a ceiling mount, where the thing can't physically be touched or effected by foot stomps and therefore never needs adjusting.

Nobody calls me chicken!....except maybe one person in this house...and I just hate confrontations.
boykster:
Howard C hit the highlights - a properly done ceiling mount will be bulletproof. No fiddling or adjusting. You set it up once, and you're done. Shelf mounts (or super cheap ceiling mounts) will be a constant headache of messing.
If you do go shelf mount, at least consider rigging it up so that it rigidly mounts the projector. buy a cheap ceiling mount (or kit) and use the mounting plate / spider in some way that attaches the projector to the shelf. That way you don't have to worry about it getting bumped or something.
