For all you build it yourselfers out there..

Im in the process of building one. I wouldnt use a laptop and the psone screens look like crap. Try to find a used lcd moniter with the backlighting burnt out. I picked up a 17" one for 60 bucks. because you wind up taking it apart and ditching the backlighting anyway. The plans are pretty simple I got my deminsions off the project gallery. Just eyeballed it. When I get the time Ill make up some drawings. But i want to test my design first to make sure its right. The bulbs are cheaper at like home depot you need at least a 400 w MH bulb with ballast. And buy the lens from the lumenlab site they are the cheapest. I built one out of a cardboard box to get an idea and I got a 95" diagonal screen outa it. I think the design could use some work. And if enough of us work on it we could make it better and make the plans free. Because thats what BYO is about..cheap or free.

They work very well
But i cheaped out and used a Overhead projector :D
and seeing space invader on the big screen made me @#$%^& in my pants lol
they work very well but use a XGA monitor as you want high def quality otherwise it looks a bit blurry
i plugged in my Digital set top box to the 7.6" lcd (OEM LCD FOR $130 ;) ) and it was crystal clear compared to normal tv tuned in or even cable
I have some pics of the overhead projector in use but i can't be stuffed finding somewere to upload em.
