    Thanks for the prises. :blush:

    It only hangs on the wall with two screws, you have to lift it with your hands and turn it around.

    Yes it's a good pj. Have been pleased with it.

    It's a quite old setup, not so expensive. The monetary value isn't much.

    Here is the setup specs:

    AV amp: Pioneer VSX-D1011 (7x135W)
    DVD player: Denon DVD-1920 (Faroudja DCDi)
    HTPC: DIY heatpipe cooled...
    HD DVD: Xbox add-on
    Projector: Sanyo PLV-Z3
    Front speakers: KEF Q15
    Center speaker: KEF Q95c
    Rear speakers: JBL LX10 rear
    Subwoofer: DIY 1x 12" SVS dB12.2 + 400W amp
    Screen: DIY Kapa mount 10mm 86" painted with light gray full matte colour (Gain 0.8)
    UPS: Trust 800VA (for the pj)
    Remote: Philips Pronto RU950
    HDMI switch: Belkin AV24502EA 3in/1out

    And lots of cables...

    Ok, the 7950GT had to go. I've got a 8500GT few weeks ago. It has passive cooling and hdcp protection. (Gigabyte GV-NX85T256H)
