So, I'm thinking of taking the plunge if the wife lets me, especially at this price. I'm lucky, my wife is VERY tolerant/understanding of my HT/Music craze. Anyways, word is this infocus which is pretty highly regarding will be avail for $999 in Costco w/ 76" draper screen after $100 MIB. From the discussion, sounds like it works great.

Out situtation is such that I'll be using my regular tube TV for regular TV watching and the projector for movie watching, so most use will be at night so lighting won't be a huge issue. The windows have blinds and curtains, so that should be sufficient too.

While the screen may not be fantastic, I think it should be more than adaquate to start out an experience in front projectors.

Anyways, my question is, once and for all, can regular high quality RCA cables be substituted for Component Video cables? Are they the same thing? If not, what exactly is the difference?

I think I'd like to take the plunge, especially at this dirt cheap cost.
