- Projector Mount
The mounting height and distance from the screen is dependent upon the specific model of your projector. Check out this tool for calculating setback distance.

You will want a setback distance from the screen to give you full coverage for the projected image. The projector will need to be low enough to just peak under the top skin of the enclosure.
I recommend a quick validation check. Turn on the projector and connect it to your HDMI cable. Hold the projector in your hands and stand at the approximate setback location where you expect the projector to be mounted. This allows you to quickly experiment with the setback distance by taking steps forward/backward to judge how the projected image will fill your screen. It's best to experiment this way before committing to a new projector mount suspended from your ceiling. Even getting up on a step ladder so you can see the projected image from the approximate height.
- Secondary monitor
Will your setup have three display devices: one projector and two monitors? Please confirm my understanding that your PC is not a laptop, so each of the two monitors will not be integrated with the PC. Will both monitors be PC monitors, or will one be a TV? i.e., a large screen high definition TV, with either 4K or 8K resolution? I'm inquiring about the higher resolution TVs, because we did encounter a customer who had difficulty integrating the TV with his simulator.
Most dedicated graphics cards will have at least two output ports. Sometimes, they will be a combination of at least one HDMI and at least one DisplayPort. You can have an independent cable connecting the HDMI port to your projector, and then have your two monitors connected via a splitter coming from the display port. The image appearing on each device will be equivalent. It's probably best if the screen resolution and aspect ratio on each device are the same to avoid distortion.
