Interesting. I'll have to see if this can also be done with the regular Connect. The video is still the tougher part for me. The only 2 solutions I have are:
- Connect video from computer to an Apple TV that is connected as a "line in" to the sonos system. This will require the tv to play the same as the projector.
- run a really long hdmi cable (how long do they make them) from our cable box to the projector and connect my receiver to the Connect like you mentioned (if possible)

From what I could tell, the connect has a line in jack, so you should be able to get your TV's audio into the sonos environment that way.
As far as long hdmi cables, check out monoprice.com. Best prices I have ever seen on cables and tv mounts. It'll just take a week or so for the package to get out your way. If you need longer, you can get hdmi to cat 5/6 cable systems (I believe monoprice has those as well) where you'd be able to get about a 330' run (or longer)
You may want to look into the optoma projectors that can use their wireless hdmi system. The wireless part is about $200 on amazon.
Another way to approach it might be with a play 5 speaker (it also has line in jack) and a cheap blueray player (or Roku/apple tv/etc.) outside with the projector, and just plug it directly in to the projector and the audio into the sonos speaker. Then you could group all the speakers to the line in, and get sound that way. But the play 5's are only $500! Since my use will be occasional, I can live with a bit of a kludge.
All part of the fun, right!

I don't think so. I had a friend who worked there so I saved 20% :-D

The only thing I've ever seen is when they sell two 1s for 350 bucks, which is 50 bucks off. That or use Best Buy discounts and apply them to Sonos products. We got some of Sonos products at 10% using Best Buy discount coupons.
I was worried about that! But at least it makes me feel a little less silly about impulse buying another speaker the other day! I normally don't buy anything unless it's on sale..LOL.
