my setup
I'm using a polaroid polaview 3000 via vga to my computer. I bought some screen material off of ebay which i wrapped around a 4 x 8 board and am using a dukane 4003 projector. I've been very satisfied with it but I wanna upgrade to a dismantled LCD monitor so I am waiting on a viewsonic vg150 in the mail. I am also thinking about building a wooden frame so i can stretch the screen material more to get rid of some wrinkles that are in it.

telex m2x (640 x 480)
dukane 4003 with enx bulb (3000) lumens
dimage z1 camera taking a 99% acurate picture
baer silverscreen paint (home depot)
7.3333 ft screen size in dark room
Over all, the quality is awesome. The only - is the sde if you get within 5 ft. of screen.

Yes, we go through a lot of torture to build these self-contained units, which really aren't that portable. At least 95% of the time, it'll be pointing at the same place. It almost seems easier to grab some 2x4's and some drywall, and build a small A/V closet in the back of the room with just the lens sticking out. Run a vent to the basement and the attic, leave everything open to the airflow and stick your computer gear back there too. Then get together with five other buddies who did the same thing, and chip in on a communal $1200 1000-lumen DLP for portable use when someone needs it.
It all makes sense if you own your house....

Re: nice
Actually DIY has surpassed that.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Brightness is a bit crazy on the camera, the projector is perfectly clear in real life though!
Re: Re: nice
Blake I am a noob and seeing your picture of yoda i would guess you have a really good setup and i was wondering what you used to build your projector, Sorry I dont know if you have posted this in the past but i was just wondering.
another noob question: out of the research ive done so far i would like to say as from a noobs perspective is that what I wonder most about is that how do you know the distances between the light+LCD+fresnels and all that in the projector.
again i dont know if this has been posted before. Sorry.
thanks alot

yes the image is pretty big... I would say it is about 120''. and my room is about 4 by 4 meters.
but yes it sometimes it too big, I now have it in my bedroom and it is not prefect to watch movies (no goodplace to sit). but the image quit nice. few days ago I organised a movienight in the living room. It was awesome....
