What my question essentially boils down to is: What tools do I need to setup up the best possible calibration which I can do myself and not need to have a professional come in and do. I'm on Windows 7 x64 w/ latest madVR. It's not that I don't want to spend money on a professional calibration. I'm just interested in doing it myself and learning how to do it rather than have someone else do it, even if costs more in the end. Thanks!

If you do end up buying a colorimeter/spectrometer, you should try going for one of these:

Yes and madVR runs off 16-bit processing, and uses 16-bit LUTs. Even if the projector is capable of 12-bit internal processing, how many samples does it really store?
