Ah didn't see the "for mame, for a build" part. Nah, don't think I'd bother with one there. |

Hrmm... disappointing to say the least. What about wireless VGA, anybody messed with that? I have an idea but it is 90% less cool with a monitor attached to the build and 100% less cool with cables. |

If you planned on putting one in a cabinet that would be a no go. They get way too hot to be in enclosed areas for any sort of extended period. |

A pedestal build with a projector built in could be kind of cool, assuming you could get the keystoning correct for the projection angle (and I'm betting that wouldn't be a problem). But wanimal is right, they get frickin' hot! I bought (and returned) one of these at one point. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=683807&Q=&is=REG&A=details Pros - they're SUPER small (intended for portable use with laptops) - super bright image (I had no problems seeing the screen with full sun and lights on in the room). - Seems to do a fine job with computer displays - LED and lasers means there's no halogen bulb to burn out. Supposedly a very long life for the things and more robust to boot. Cons - The picture doesn't do movies justice AT ALL. Not sure how emulated 8bit arcade games would look on - there's no lens adjustment at all, you have to mount the thing perfectly straight. - The lens is pretty minimal, so you don't have near the number of options of screensize/throw length, etc that you do with the bigger projectors. Short version, I didn't like the picture quality for movies, so I returned it, but just about everything else was passable or better. Might be an option. |
