well, the obvious answer is because I already have the Veebeam 🙂 Plus, the lack of surround sound or the 2 second delay won’t bother me since I won’t be looking at the original content anyways. In both scenarios however I’d still need to figure out the connection piece of how to control the HTPC.

I suppose I could use the Veebeam from my main HTPC, but occasionally my gf will be in the bedroom while i’m in the living room, so i like the flexibility of having a second system.

Not to mention…again…one way or another there’s going to be another system running 24/7–whether it be a standalone WHS2011 or something else 🙂 So why NOT use that one 🙂
