Let me know firts of all if your Dwin Projector has component input and if it can display 16:9 aspect ratio movies.
I'm currently usin a Dream vision 500 with a dvdo doubler. The dvd is connected to the dvdo s video input (I'm waiting for them to make it with a component input) and de dvdo in conneted to the rgb input of the Dream Vision. I've compared it to a Sharp 96 and to the last model Sharp 99, and belive me there is no comparation, Dream Vision/dvdo convination is far ahead.
I'm telling you this because I know you are using a projector with dlp technology (I've never seen that projector), and maybe other people that write to you have never seen a projector using that technology.
Remember that picture quality is more important than the noise it can produce.

Frederico makes a good point and I didn't mean to imply that the Projectavision has a poor picture. In fact, I'd put it up against MANY CRT's in the under $20K category. A 2 chip DLP has no pixellation even from 2-3 feet, and I'm using it on a Stewart 130 screen that is 16:9 and 10 feet wide (not diagonal). Despite this, the DLP puts out a very bright and clean picture. It isn't, however, as sharp as some of the CRT's I've seen such as the Sony and Dwin's but it is quite good. I will say, however, that the fan noise is significant and distracting even though I have it built into an enclosure and sitting on top of a 7 foot high cabinet. I understand that the new Projectavision (I got the 1st generation) has a quieter fan and some other features (but still not anamorphic or multiple aspect ratios).
