Oooh, good find, I've seen this screen stuff on ebay sold for crazy prices.

The specs on the projector rock.  For anyone else investigating projectors,
I recommend avsforums.com.  They have an under $2500 projector forum that is
filled with knowledgeable people, and is the basis for my purchase decision
(btw, the HD1000U, also described as a 'light cannon', is only costing me
$900 new).

Also found this thread, which will save me a bundle:

I'll be stopping by Menards soon to pick up an 8' sheet of durotherm for
$15 that will serve as my new screen - according to the specs, it's better
than the expensive glass bead da-lite screen  I'm currently using (and
bigger).

I've always been a little squeemish about DLP tv's... Sometimes an moving
object can get a little a "fuzzy" around the edges. However the spec's on
projector you picked, talk about a seven segment color wheel which gives a
faster refresh. It also has a fairly high contrast ratio
(2500:1) which leads me to believe this projector will have an above average
picture.

I can't to wait to hear how it turns out!
