*looks at raised fists* don't hurt me!



ok,  I've been thinking, and I'm fixing to start a new project, but, instead of a cabinet and buying a new or used tv, what about a Nice CP like half of a Dyanmo Showcase) and using a projector in my game room for the mame and PS2 games? Alot of projectors have DVI output, which my 9200se has. I know it would have to be fairly dark, but what do you guys think of this idea for just an "ultimate gaming" type thing, and not so much a "classic feel" type thing?

Should I move this to Main?
