Powering a Front Projector

[halls1030]

Hello all,

Looking for some advice on how to best hook up my Epson Powerlite Cinema 550 Front Projector and whether or not I can run an extension cord to power it....See below:

I have the projector ceiling mounted roughly 16' from a 106" diagonal screen with a ceiling mounted wall jack to plug into which would of course be the easy way to hook it up. My dilemma is the following...I have a Monster Power Center that I have all my audio/video components running through for "clean power". All the components are hidden in the entertainment center up by the screen. I installed 2" PVC conduit that I run my component cables and HDMI cables through. I was wondering if it would be better to run a 25 foot extension cord through the conduit to the monster power center than to simply plug into the ceiling outlet next to the projector? What about if I use a heavy duty extension cord, one that would normally be used to run power tools....bad idea???

Thanks in adavance for any help anyone can shed.
