Well done for getting your two screens to work, I would have no idea where to start there! Did you notice an FPS drop running both displays?
Ill keep you updated with my progress on the back projection. My first challenge would be working out if I can do DIY back projection paint job on a piece of glass, and see what the results are. My idea is a thin spray coat of white paint which will be bloody hard to get even!
Another idea which appeals is using a geodesic type tent-frame/cover thing made from cheap white cotton sheet. Again a small scale test will confirm whether this is a go-er or not. I like this idea more than the skylight as it is something I can totally DIY, and is potentially foldable into 0 space which is great for when I want to watch movies in the spare room.
