    I think the only way to improve that is to use insane amounts of gaffer tape to attach the projector to the roof rather than bolting it on!

    Is it just hanging from the cables? There's enough wire there to support the projector without a ceiling mount!

    I do think the installer needs more practice before getting GCSE macrame!

    we had two projectors held in the ceiling (similar setup to that pic) by screws that barely made a hole.
    we had a a comms cabinet that was so badly installed it was hanging off the wall ready to drop. and we have two IWB installations on the p!ss and so low that the teachers desk is in the way.
    so we could probably rival you overall

    i did have one of these fall down it was held in plasterboard by normall screws! It was above my desk and i was putting a cable and fell down in my hand. I shouted to a few coleagues and they ran and got a long bit of wood that we propped it back up with whilst i dismantled the cab and put the switches on a shelf next to it. I then tied the switches round a pipe with network cable to stop them from falling off! Hang on its still like it nearlly two years later!!! :P

    Power cables can get very hot when coiled like that, very dangerous.

    Not to mention the increased resistance.
