Apartment ceiling: how big of gap between drywall and studs?

Is there no shelf mounting possibility at the back of the room?

Just looked at your gallery... haven't done that in a while, love your poster art.... anyway... if you're still in the same spot what about opening up a section of the ceiling to get a better look at what your dealing with. It didn't look like you had a stucco ceiling so a patch job would be pretty straight forward.

I think the ceiling is out of the question, just to be on the safe side. I am investigating ways to maybe hang the projector from the wall. If the Epson 8350 was not so huge, I would consider putting it on a wall mounted shelf.
