Any X1 projector owners out there?

I'm just curious if any of you own the Infocus X1 projector, and what you have hooked up to it? I've had mine about 4 months and I love it. I have the Dish Network 811 HD receiver, OTA antenna, and DVD player hooked up to it. It's not an HD projector, but the internal scaler is excellent, and the picture with HD is great. 106" of pure beauty, and the best part is I paid $799 new.

I dont have that projector, mine is the NEC LT260K.  I chose mine because it was one of the brightest around (essential because I have a bit of ambient light) when I got it 18 months ago.  Mine is also not quite HD (its XGA) but the scaler is so good that it looks better than most HD sets.  Best of all, I dont have some big ugly peice of furniture as the central focus of the room.  When Im done watching TV, I can simply retract the screen.  The only downfall is the 3000 hr bulb life.  However they are fairly inexpensive and I probably will go about 4-5 years between replacements.
