Hi Moli and Rob and evryone,
The Crestron... (oh man I love this thing!!!) The 3 touchpanels actually all came from ebay. They are not the newest, sleakest looking touchpanels Crestron makes, but they are color and they are a pretty good size. They were all under $250.00 each. As for the processor, I will just have to leave that with... I got the deal of a lifetime. Although, my buddy just purchased the same one (CNMSX-PRO) off of ebay for $400.00 I have done a lot of the programming myself, and actually have completed the first Crestron training class, with plans for taking the second this summer. I can make the crestron do about 90% of what I need it to do with my programming knowledge, but there are a few of the more complex RS-232 commands that I had to have someone I know write.
As for the 2 projectors, Honestly, my answer would have to be, because I have 2 (really good) projectors. I use the 6300 mainly if I am using a computer, bucause the computer is probably the most likely source to burn the CRTs in the 808. I also tend to use the 6300 while there is daylight, because I have not finished the basement all of the way and light still comes in through the windows. The 808 is bright enough with this light, but the 6300 is brighter. I guess it also provides as a backup incase the 808 ever were to fail durring a big event, when a lot of people are watching and there is no time to try and repair. The 808 is obviously the one I do prefer to use, but the 6300 has racked up it's share of hours as well.
Thanks for the questions,
DG
