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.
