You will absolutely love the 3D on it. Its very bright, vivid and punchy in 3D. Better than any commercial theaters. I bought the 3010, did not had much expectations given the price. But that projector offers a LOT for $1500 and 3D is just awesome.
I have seen lots of hassle with playing 3D on the HTPC. Please rethink if you can on HTPC. Its not for the faint hearted. Also, you will spend considerable amount of time and energy on making it silent and take care of the heat.
I use a Panasonic 3D player (costs about $120) and a Media Player (costs about $90). Between these two, I think it will meet all your needs and pretty much makes HTPC not needed. Its way easier for families too.
