Lately, we have been using good quality computer speakers, as they are cheaper than mounting speakers and amplifiers. Not as pretty, but functional and affordable.

We also put a four gang deep box about 4 foot off the floor with two 1" conduits in the wall stubbed above the ceiling so we have room for additional cables and can add more connectors/inserts if needed. The viewsonic is discontinued. We now us this box from Impact Acoustics. http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=3103&sku=40972 RapidRun: http://www.cablestogo.com/categories.asp?cat_id=4100 ----- Tim Buenz Director of Technology Jefferson-Scranton Comm.

So I am working on the first step in mounting projectors and all the wiring . . . Do you have a box on the wall to connect everything to, and then run the cables from there to the projector. . . or would you recommend (if they even still make these) the boxes that everything would plug into and then run one cable from that spot to the projector. (were they called a video processor or something--View Sonic made if I remember correctly . . .) I want ports like the picture below . . . but will need another of the 15 pin connectors --one for the computer and one for a document camera. What is everyone using/recommending?
