Yep thanks to Hommie.net
That is the basic design I used for my projector except mine is vertical with a lens & mirror from an ohp. I am currently in the process of dismantling it and will be selling off my projection panel (proxima ovaition 944 +). I just wasn't satisfied with the size of the final design. In the next 6 months or so I'll be going for a lcd monitor projector and a double ended light source (haven't decided on wattage yet).

OR you could be like me and a VERY few others who are getting cheap lampless commercial projectors on ebay and throw a double ended mh in that... (even though i havent done any of this yet and probably just jinxed myself, and i will end up getting a doa projector)... anyway like i was saying... come to the DARK SIDEEE MUAHAHAHAHA. jk im still diy at heart, and i plan on making a complete diy projector out of my telex magnabyte m2x.

Whats the difference between electronic and magnetic? Does it really matter, if not i definatly want the cheaper one, which ever that may be.

from wat i know the electronic is smaller and looks better,(from wat i know) but the coil/magnetic should work the same,they are just harder to find.
Electronic ballasts are (usually) smaller, quieter, and put out less heat. Some of the HQI MH bulbs require them because they manage the startup and continuous current better. Makes for longer lasting bulbs, too. Upshot, of course, is that they cost more than their magnetic siblings.
