Non-ceiling mounted projectors?

[Beta Man]

Anyone have any asthetically pleasing means to setting up a projector (perhaps a shelf type thing behind the theater-seats that it can sit on top of)


Couple issues with my new attic....

1) heat..... I'm going to install an extra Theater-only A/C (in addition to the Central Air) but the room's temp is dramatically different when I feel the ceiling, compared to 6 feet up for instance (heat rises obviously...)

2) my ceiling in the attic is textured, and has heating elements running in the ceiling.... it's an older home, and this was a popular method for radiant heating back in the day, and running the wires, repairing the ceiling (plaster! yikes) and having an outlet installed, etc... is now a much larger job than origionally planned...... I was thinking about running the wires from the projector, under the theater-seats, to the crawl-space.... and drill out to the access panel behind the screen-area to connect it all.....


Other things to consider..... I have a separate room off of the attic that will house all of my media, so "shelves" aren't really necessary.... If it's something that can be used to create a "theme" for the theater (I need to paint, and replace the carpet still) that would be great!!!! I plan on running the plumbing from the bathroom that is in the attic, over to a bar area too, but that is a LONG WAYS away, due to the cost. Here is the attic, anything you can think of, in terms of how I could theme it, would be great too..... The room is only for a theater, so the windows will be blacked out (probably pond-liner, with black-out cloth curtains over it, so it'll have zero ambient light)

Sorry for the one crappy picture.... doesn't even show the theater "lengthwise" I don't think..... it's an angled ceiling obviously (attic... what can I say!) and you can't see the stairs going up (there is a door at the bottom, so again, light isn't an issue) the bathroom and additional room are on the other side..... I'll get more pictures when I can.
