cheap PC speakers mounted by the projectors. The VT700 projectors that we have do have a very good speaker in them, so in some classrooms I don't put in anything.

So what does everyone do for audio? Mount speakers. Dolby 5.1 Digital Surround, cheap PC speakers?

We do that same as Karl w/ RapidRun cable and their wall plate inserts. We also put a four gang deep box about 4 foot off the floor with two 1" conduits in the wall stubbed above the ceiling so we have room for additional cables and can add more connectors/inserts if needed.

The viewsonic is discontinued. We now us this box from Impact Acoustics.

Hi!  So I am working on the first step in mounting projectors and all
the wiring . . .   Do you have a box on the wall to connect
everything to, and then run the cables from there to the
projector. . .  or would you recommend (if they even still make
these) the boxes that everything would plug into and then run one
cable from that spot to the projector.  (were they called a video
processor or something--View Sonic made if I remember correctly . . .)

I want ports like the picture below . . . but will need another of
the 15 pin connectors --one for the computer and one for a document
camera.  What is everyone using/recommending?

Thanks!
