Asssuming your room is at least 20' x12'

Dont worry about high ceilings, low ceilings are the problem.
You can always buy a universal mount which allows you to position it at any height.

Given your large room size I would go for at least a 120 inch screen

2 choices........buy something like a manual pulldown..........
Something like this is great value.

Or you can make one yourself.

For sound system, a simple store bought 5.1 subwoofer system is normally a good starter.

Projector.........

The projector you posted is an older model. (2.5 years old)
There are far better and cheaper models now available.

One of the most popular sub $1000 projectors is the Optoma HD20 (called HD200 in canada)
You can pick these up in the US for under $1000

A cheaper option is the Vivitek H1080FD

If you dont need full 1080p the Optoma HD65/66 is agreat buy at under $700
It throws a great picture for the money.

If you suffer from Rainbow effect then the Epson 8350 can be picked up for around $1000.
Its a fantastic 1080p LCD rather than DLP.
This might be the best choice if you cant control the light as its extremely bright at 2000 lumens

My advice is to read the following forum.

There are threads where actual owners give the pros and cons of owning each specific model.
