First, let me state i have this already and wanted some opinions before i break down my office and move my PC downstairs. I know i can try it and see how it turns out - but i dont want to waste several hours to find out it sucks.

I am wondering how this would look using a DVI to USB cable to the projector (6 foot distance) on a 120in screen. I currently have my ps3 hooked up to it and love it. Its perfect clarity and brightness and the color is beyond fantastic to me. I am not video guru, but i love it. I play PS3 games and watch blue rays on it all the time.

If it works and looks good, how do people deal with a keybaord and mouse without using a desk? I would have to sit in my lazy-boy or on the couch - so i can use wireless, but i would need a tray of some type.

Thanks in advance.
