I recently got a Mistubishi 52" WD52525 DLP Projection TV.

It retails for $3000, I got it for $1700 from a local "scratch & dent store" becuase the bottom gray front panel is "loose".  The guys delivering it to a house broke one of the internal plastic supports.  Other than that it's never been used.  2 dabs of crazy glue, and I have a beautiful new DLP Projection TV for nearly half off.

Picture here:

I plan on mounting it in-wall in my finished basement.  Problem is, this thing has a TON of inputs on the back of it, and I don't want to have to pull it out of the wall to hook something up to it so I was hoping to be able to extend the inputs somehow.  However,  I don't know if there's an efficient way of doing it without introducing line noise or reducing image quality.

Inputs: 2 component video, A/V with S-video, 1 DTV, 1 PC, 3 FireWire (IEEE 1394), 1 HDMI, 4 memory card slots, stereo audio    

Does anyone know of a way to do this efficiently?

Thanks!

I don't have an answer for you, but I have the same tv and it is a thing of beauty. :)

Just use a high quality switchbox and run cables to it.  I use this one and it's VERY good at the price point (it's $80 now):
