I too have ran a LCD Projector from my HTPC via a 10meter DVI to HDMI cable with excellent results. The image was great. I ended up selling the Sony-hs51 and going back to CRT. There is just no comparison.

Side note, welcome to the NorthWest! Just remember to tell everyone "It always rains up here, It always rains up here."

Have you had a chance to see much of the country? I can think of few places with as much geographic diversity. It's truly beautiful here.
