Q. I'm going to be getting the epson 705hd soon to turn my spare bedroom into a home theater, yes i know it's only 720p but think of it this way, its better than my dying 24 inch 480i magnavox tube. Now I'm wondering how loud it will be, epson claims it is 29db in Eco mode but is this quiet for a projector? And I'm planning on making my own ceiling mount to match the wood on my doors, molding and wood siding on my house (i think it will look pretty darn good, and i save some money) and i was wondering how thick to make the bottom of the mount where the projector sits, would 2 inches be enough to drown out the noise? Obviously i don't know much about projectors, so I'm asking someone who does.
Thank you! Best answer gets best answer :)
I'm looking for experience, not something found on a website I've never heard of.

Answer
I've been around the 705hd and it runs pretty quiet. My own projector runs a bit louder than this one and I have no problem with the noise it makes. Personally, I think you'll be happy with it. You'll probably have to spend quite a bit more money to get one quieter with the same quality picture.
Despite the 1080p ballyhooing that goes on, you'll be quite happy with 720p as long as you don't go super huge on the screen size... probably 90" or less.
Not quite picturing your ceiling mount but it sounds like you're planning on a shelf-style mount. Be careful because it has to be very open to allow for air flow and cooling. Just as a suggestion, I made my own ceiling mount but I cut a 1/4" sheet of plexiglass, used the 3 mounting receptors on my projector, bought a ball mount on eBay for $15 and assembled it all together to make a very inexpensive hanging ceiling mount that is adjustable.
It looks a lot like this one on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/CEILING-MOUNT-EPSON-PowerLite-Home-Cinema-705HD-/370280442763?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item56366f2b8b
If you do go this route just make sure what you're attaching the mount to is VERY reliable (i.e. not sheetrock) and I make use of the security strap attachment just in case. I've had this mount for 4 years and it's been great.

Epson 3020 Projector screws to mount it?
Mark
I want find what size/thread screws to get for mounting the projector upside down. None came with the projector, nor did a manual. Epson hangs up on me before I ever get to a representative, and fheir site doesn't have it. Any help?
Answer
It may say the screw size right next to the screw holes - it will say something like "M8" or whatever - that is the screw size. If it doesn't, bring the projector to a hardware store that sells metric screws and try a few until you figure it out.
You really should consider buying a ceiling mount for your projector - it will come with the right screws for your projector:

That mount is designed to fit your projector - it is worth the money:
