Should I keep, or sell my projector?

So, I finally got my 1337 projector, capable of 600" images and what not. I could probably get around 2800€ for it (as opposed to 4000 that I thought, when I didn't know about what model it was). Having a big screen is nice, but I know I'm not using it to it's full potential as my room only allows for around 72" picture, and a lack of good projector screen. (Two wardrobe doors make up the screen, heh)

I could keep it, as it's worth less than I expected, but that would also mean either buying, or building, a good screen, along with a stand for it, but I could also sell it, and get anough cash to sort out all of my small things that need cash.

Help me, BF2s.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Ok my point can still stand if you hook up a theater PC. I would do it if I had the room.

I'd set up a drive through movie site somewhere. All you need is a screen and big enough speakers, or a bunch of headphone cables..

You don't have to necessarily play the latest movies (which would prob be illegal without the licensing) but you could play movies like Planet of The Apes and attract all the 40+ people who might still remember watching drive through movies and actually miss it.

I'd bet they would be willing to pay you for it too.

Maybe I'm misjudging the size of the screen though, cause I can't tell how big that house it. lol

Well the cool thing is if you only going to watch movies you don't have to spend a lot on a PC or even if you have one just upgrade it with a HDCP compatible video card and your good to go.

600" = 50 feet

I'd say that'd make a pretty good drive in movie theatre.

Sell it, get the money.
Use the money in a very public way. High tech gadgets, nice watch, nice clothes etc.
Women will want you no matter what, and you could get laid

Sell it and put it in a high interest bank account, keep saving up, then sell all the other crap you keep in your room, then you will be able to buy tech shit with the interest gained from the account.

Sell it. What the fuck do you need a projector for. I hate people like you who don't know what they're doing with things, especially expensive things. I couldn't care less what you do at the end of the day, but still.

I know you're only like, 15, but you really need to develop a sense of ....what's the word to use, I dunno. You need to sort out your priorities.

Nope, just gay.
