Default Projector advice? (cheap, gaming, shelf-able)

So I had been looking at the Epson 2040 and it seems to be a good price, cheap replacement bulb, and good low input lag.

However, the main issue with it is: the lack of lens shift and the short throw distance give me very limited options on where to put it, and we have a small apartment so it would most likely be in the way(unless i could find a mount that easily swivels it up 90 to the ceiling and back).

If I can get around having to mount it, and can just put in on top of a shelf in the opposite corner as the screen, that would be ideal.

So is there an LCD projector(rainbow effect bugs me) that is 1)AROUND $1000 or less, 2)that I can put on a shelf about 13-16' away from a 106" screen, and 3)has input lag comparable to the Epson 2040?

Thanks for any recommendations!

Yeah that one and similar BenQ's seem decent, but I'm worried the rainbow effect would be distracting for me :\

Try the Epson 3000 for $729 Horizontal and Vertical shifting, and adjustable zoom. Although lag on fast mode isn't as good as the 2040
