I was wondering what my options are for placement of the Ruby. What I would like to do is buy a rack, table or something of the sort that will allow me not have to hang it from my ceiling and diminish installation costs.
I do have drop ceiling boards, I'll post a pic below so people can see what I am dealing with. Can I hang it from the ceiling with some sort of custom installation? Sure. Do I want to? No. I'm looking for the best solution possible, even if that does mean taking a ceiling panel out and installing something that fits into the frame there, which, come to think of it might actually be cheaper than I originally thought. I don't mind an 7-8 foot rack or something of that nature to place it on either. I really would like to keep costs at a minimum more than any other consideration.
My biggest worry is spending out of control. If I lay down 9 grand on the Ruby in a few months, I won't really have much left over to do any major house work in the room I am using.
I haven't considered the cost of a screen yet, which, unfortunately has to be a separate piece because my wall is not completely flat and has a hump in the center that is not easily seen unless you place a light off center. If this weren't the case I would have painted one on with one of those DIY kits. So I am going to need something that can be hung from the ceiling or wall and which has around an 80 inch viewing area. Does anyone have any reocmmendations for a quality screen that isn't outrageously expensive as well?
This forum and a lot of the people on it has been extremely helpful to me. ;x(
Thanks in advance to everyone,
Jeff
