The hardest part about recreating that effect is getting all the Playboy bunnies.
For hushbox: obviously reducing noise is the main reason, but that's pretty easy. Just surround it with a box lined with something soft and you'll stop 80-90% of the noise. But cooling is also a key consideration. These beasties generate a lot of heat. You need to have enough room around the projector, and (quiet) fans to provide enough airflow, to keep the projector cool.

Under the Fooseball table. I like it!
That room screams de-modernize me! Have you considered vintage wood paneling and shag carpet? Maybe a nice mustard or bright orange color.

... the classic argument "when did Metallica sell out?" most people either say the black album or Load.... I like the black album too, but it not the same band, ,style or sound that put out those first 4 LPs... the last two albums have been total crap.
kind of like comparing the old Challenger vs new Challenger
sorry for the hijack NIN!!.... I am more of a goat metal guy myself.

That projector is an Advent Videobeam 1000, if you were curious.

Lets say I get the 909. How should I play retro-consols with 240P RGB the best way on it?
Linedoubler to 480P to keep sharp scanlines?

I find line doublers tend to minimize the appearance of scan lines on a CRT projector. I think you'd want to hook the console straight up if you want to keep the scan lines visible.

But will the Barco 909 take the 240P signal?

This guy use a Cine 9 to play NES on.

He use a XRGB-3 to linedouble the image. So I would guess that is one way to do it.
