That must have still cost a lot and still be very powerful. I still think no matter what you use a traditional projector isn't going to give you a bright picture unless you are in the dark. I want someone to figure out how to make a DIY Plasma or a DLP style projection. What about projection screen cabinets, that would be a good idea for all those projection tubes that break.

I started working on one of these, but I decided to go with the $800 Sony VPL-AW10 Bravia.

I could make one cheaper, if my time was worth nothing.

I applaud the nice work I see here.

]]> <![CDATA[Projectors Made From Trash Deliver HD Video and Stereoscopic Movies]]> @shawn_dude: Have you *seen* the size of these DIY projectors? You're easily talking the girth of carry-on luggage if anything. Granted, there are more space-efficient designs now, but finding a 720P panel small and inexpensive enough (in addition to light source, power, optics and mirrors) to build a box smaller than your typical PC is the biggest roadblock to a compact chassis.

]]> <![CDATA[Projectors Made From Trash Deliver HD Video and Stereoscopic Movies]]> It does take some effort to DIY a projector from a hodgepodge of parts. I started putting together the guts of my projector years ago using a $30 HID bulb. Had a functional prototype testbed even, but never built the cabinet out of anything more than temporary cardboard to seal the deal. I think I'll have to get back on the horse after seeing all the inspirations here! =)

]]> <![CDATA[Projectors Made From Trash Deliver HD Video and Stereoscopic Movies]]> This is the result of a condition in which someone with some electrical knowledge thinks "$3000 for a projector? How about I spend a week making one for $800 that is seven times the size of that and twice as loud..." My uncle has such a condition.

Big props go to the guys who did it with some panache.

]]> <![CDATA[Projectors Made From Trash Deliver HD Video and Stereoscopic Movies]]> That's some hackin' right there.

Well done!

]]> <![CDATA[Projectors Made From Trash Deliver HD Video and Stereoscopic Movies]]> My problem is a have the skill to do it, just not the patience. I'd just have a bunch of stuff in cardboard boxes that made a descent picture and call it good. I keep saying one of these days I'm going to make one, plus a wooden computer case, but in reality, I'm just too lazy I think.

]]> <![CDATA[Projectors Made From Trash Deliver HD Video and Stereoscopic Movies]]> I wonder if any of these manufacturers were faced with the option of a 'Brand New Senera Torpedo Entertainment Projector' or 'that pile of trash over there'... The obvious response being: I'll take my chances with that pile of trash.
