Go with a fixed screen, unless you absolutely have to be able to retract it. I would consider an acoustically-transparent screen with nice in-wall main and center speakers behind it (unless you are planning to use existing speakers).

I have been very pleased with my Sony projector. It is very bright with good contrast and handles a decent amount of ambient light just fine.

I know a guy in West Knoxville that has done work for me on multiple occasions and really knows his stuff. Friends I have referred him to have also been pleased. He also has access to a couple of nice hi-fi speaker lines not available in retail stores and can get very competitive pricing on screens, mounts, etc.

I’ll look at the Sonys. Definitely plan on a fixed screen. Anything else in particular to look for?

Also, can you send me contact info for your guy in west knoxville?

I’m still trying to get an idea of what it will cost me.

I'm actually interested in this as well, also in West Knoxville. We're looking at converting a bonus room into a 4-6 person theater

Freak has my guy's info, I believe he can email it to you.

Epson also makes a good projector for the $.
