Servers that store the cached digital movies. There are a bunch of Dell servers with RAIDs in there. Our tour guide (a very nice projectionist) said the movies are only about 60 GB. Good thing they haven't started showing up on Kazaa :).

Not fair, they can continue to watch the movie when they go to the bathroom. Lucky projectionists.

This is a sweet little DLP chip (one of three per projector). On that reflective surface are tons of mirrors (I think a few million). It is tinier then I thought it would be. When it was described as lots of moving mirrors, I thought it would be like .4 m

That isn't a very big screen. And it's in black and white. And it's mono.

Okay, that's better. You can see the projector change as a bar on the left 1/4 of the screen.
