I was just in Best Buy today and saw the BenQ 6200 for 2000 (with a mail in rebate). I've had my eye on the following:

Sanyo PLV-Z2
Panasonic PT-L500U
InFocus ScreenPlay 4805
Benq pb6200

I'm leaning more towards the DLP technology for many reasons which is why I like the BenQ series. The only drawback is the lack of a DVI port which kinda irks me because of the loss of the great picture quality you can get from a PC via the occasional game. I'll have to run it via RGB cables which makes the signal analog.

If I get over my LCD feelings I woud get the Panasonic as I've heard its the best bang for your buck at this range.

I plan to build my own screen as well but have yet found a place where I can buy the fabric material. I have seen some awesome screens made for about $50.
I would think that RGB vs DVI for computers wouldn't make a whole lot of difference. I've compared DVI vs component(analog) for HDTV and hd scaled dvd players, and I can't tell the difference.

The one thing about DVI though is that eventually you will only be able to get HDTV in full resolution through DVI.
