    How are cases compatible with mobo's onboard USB 3.0 header

    Many thanx for great info, Yes, I knew this Mobo is blessed with many i/o ports, my doubts are mostly about the different cases' connectivity options - in general. So I guess, I should look for cases with USB 3.0 wire connector, which will always be compatible with a Mobo's internal USB 3.0...

    Great thanx Godmachine, Nenu and TESLA! Many thanx for thy fine, detailed responses. They come in handy, and were taken into consideration, but seems, only BenQ 1070 (~24ms input lag) remains because of mostly country specific limitations, otherwise possibly an Optoma with about 17 ms input...

    Projector 1080p for easy gaming and movies, < 1k $
