wondering...

hey chris. your xbox supports (well, did...) hidef through the RGB cables. example:

I wonder... if i use the above mentioned cable, can i use a RCA gender changer and input hidef into the projector via the DB15 monitor plug? :)

The other reason for my curiosity... i moved my living room around today. now all my a/v equipment's above the tv, along the far wall. the projector will be the only thing behind the couch. i think i'm just going to get a simple cheap white shelf for it to sit on above the couch. but, in order to get the VGA (or yellow RCA) video to it, i need to run some cables. preferably through the walls.

to get vga from point a to point b,
solution a)
50ft DB15HD w/ ferrit core: $15.72
pro: one cable, no format change
con: can only be used for pc output, to high quality input (tv, projector, monitor, etc)
solution b)
6ft DB15HD-M to 3xRCA-M $3.54
50Ft RCA M/M $19.71
12ft DB15HD-M to 3xRCA-M $4.26

ok. never mind. looks like it's solution a :P

ok. i'm going to order some speaker cable to run my two rear satellites to my back wall, a vga cable for the projector from the laptop, a rca cable for the projector from the vcr, and... oh yeah, a network cable for the laptop :P i might as well run (2) cat5's, so i have room for expansion. i might put the pc back in the living room, who knows.
