A problem emerges

The main problem with the Wii, if we should say it's a problem at all. Is that it really requires one to have a much bigger screen then 12". The solution to this problem is not as simple as one might suspect. Sure, you could but a nice big TV, but, honestly, who really wants to shell out the $3000 for a nice 43" LCD TV. Your other option, of course, is to buy a projector. However, once you have a projector, you need a screen. Not to mention the expensive replacement bulbs.

Now, projectors have the coolness factor going for them too, not to mention the option to create a 100" screen. What self respecting geek could turn down such a Nirvana of video delight. I think it's simple enough to say that I want a home theater. Not a simple TV, but something that I can add to over the years to create a Mecca of home entertainment.

So, the problem in front of me now, what equipment do I buy?

Well, the first requirement is a projector. Good, HD projectors will run over two grand. I don't really want to start that high. So, with the plan to start off small I stumbled across the Evo. Not the be all, end all of projectors, but certainly enough to get me started and definitely right for the Wii. So, it's been ordered.
