Hi ACE,

First of all I would like to say thanks for all the pics and comment.
You are doing a great job.

Just a question:
I saw you used the original Lilliput window to hold it in place. How did you mount this to the outer tunnel?
Is it glued?
Same for the fresnels?

Heya buddy, all i did was use a few strips of thin plexi to make up like a barrier so the lcd and frensel sit against them, they cant move forward then, the back side of the frensel pushes on the lcd frame from the pyramid, wich is pushed on the back of the pyramid at the rear where the condenser is, its all sitting in place and cant move, there is enough room this way for exspansion aswell, and nothing can get damaged and all stays well aligned.

I hope u get what i mean lol

Hi, ACE... just wondering if your plan is ready for sale?

[fonzki]

hiya trev, just wondering what games have you played on your projector. Have you played games like Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, Return to Castle Wolfenstein type of games there? How was the response?

Thanks.

Heya Fonzki, ive played SOF2, Battle Realms, Quake 2, Moh 2, and quite a few others on it in the testing stage and there was no problem with ghosting.

Generally if you see any ghosting while watching tv on a lcd you will see it in games.

Thank you thank you.

I needed that reply to be able to finally decide if the lilliput is really for me. It's a great help.

G'day ACE

I also have read the entire thread on your pj project (took me 1 week to read , I have 3 children ages 6, 3 & 2 lol).

Firstly for all the people that have bagged u ACE, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME (Darren Hinch rip off anyways enough of that shite.

Im the type of person that loves to mod.
Examples are:

Small fold chair attatched to front of pram + push scooter attatched to side of pram, that way all 3 of my children are together and saves space and money

Computer in a silver tool case that sits ontop of my 17" CRT, for LAN's, this way only one trip from car to building + easy access to all components + safety from children "grabbing things"

Fitting 15" LCD + computer system inside a gutted 17" CRT, even better idea than the above one.

Ahh its all good lol, sry getting carried away, just wanted to show u that i understand & appreciate the time and effort that goes into DIY projects.

After several minutes of rambling i actually do have some questions for u ACE.

1 I definately would like to purchase your plans.

2 As I live in Australia, in your entire project how many parts will need to be modded or converted to function properly if i bought the parts from u. Reason im asking is here in SA a ballast for 250W MH costs 220bucks and the globe costs 50bucks, big money doh! (will investigate how to make my own aswell) Just trying to cover all courners

3 Hope and pray u still have a copy lense for sale, if so i have money ready

4 I regularly read a comp mag called ATOMIC. A few issues ago showed plans on how to make a HTPC. But it was just a box, mind u it did everything hehe. What i want to make for my family and my mother inlaw is a true HTPC, which does everything including a huge screen, thats where u fellas come in. I want to combine your projector with something like a shuttle box comp system (size of a shoe box). I want to encase both together in a stylish setup along with an automatic screen that will be mounted on a selected wall, be remote etc. This way there will be minimal fuss which suits my mother in law just fine lol.

Lastly (for now anyways hehe) just wanted to say to u ACE that your work is impecable, both research and practical. I believe if someone wants to build something i thought up, that to me is the best kind of flattery. As long as u have permission and dont sell for self profit etc. And who knows maybe latter i might come up with a revolutionary idea (NEVER close your mind to anything)

An example might be from this link http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/laserfaq.htm#faqtoc

If we could implement laser tech here, no heat, picture a mile away will be just as good as a picture 1 metre away woohoo. Just a thought.

Anyways i have indeed enjoyed this entire thread, i love being around people that look outside of the square, well done everyone, and ACE as a lot of people have typed you da man
