I got bored and decided to snap a pic of my system playing Orbiter, a space simulator game. The projector is 1280x720 InFocus SP5000, while the bottom 3 screens are Samsung 17" with my Matrox TripleHead2Go. Got an EVGA 6800U and 7800GTXKO in the machine.

The camera flash did evil things to the projection on the wall but you get the idea of the setup. :)

I need to see this :P pics are not working currently though.

Edit: yay it loaded.

So do you feel its hard to look up at the projection screen when sitting at the desk. Like neck pains, un-natural, or just looks too bright or quality poor having it projected on the wall?

If thats the case I am thinking of doing this same thing but have a pull down screen infront of the monitors for the projector to use.

Amazing! How did you make this setup???

Wow, talk about zombie thread. Not used that setup since 2007. :wink:

Yes, looking up at the projection is a bit awkward. I do still use overhead wall projection with the tri and quad-24" setup sometimes. Mostly to watch HD cable tv on though while gaming.
