hey,

60$, i find that hard to beleive, tell what to do, contact lilliput themselves, thats what i did, i buggered my monitor and blagged a replacement, if you tell them your interested in 20 units, pretend your from a company, and you want to get a sample, they will sell you one, costs, about 100£ if your a good blagger, its worth it mate, sweet monitors, and so easy to strip,

www.lilliput.cn

contact them, they will sort you out,
 
Ok, i have been looking at redoing my box as
1. looks c**p
2. made it to small (causes loads of problems)
3. cooling is not very good at all
4. i need something to do 😀

So i want to go for the same flat layout cant be doing like hillbilly, far to complicated for me lol

Just i have a 400w bulb and would like to keep it

I plan on having 2x 120mm fans for pulling air over bulb and out and then maybe 92mm or 80mm on the lcd etc

Also i plan on getting uv and ir glass to protect the lcd (need to get it from somewhere)

See attached image, can any one modify it and arrange it better so cooling would be best!

Thanks 🙂

So this is the current setup or there abouts

this is with a 400w bulb and the air on the rear frensel is around 35oC ish after an hour and thats the fans running full


the thing with your design is that your forcing all the air into the lcd etc bit and that will work but wont be that affective with hight W bulbs

Really there needs to be a fan blowing air over the light bulb itself

I have almost ordered some 1.2mm thick aluminium for my new projector (unbelivable hjavent finished the first one and going onto another :smash: )

Might be bidding on a touchscreen lcd depending on how much it goes for.

The main fan in the base is blowing air over the lamp and the light box, as this pressurises the box forcing cool air to go over/around the light box before exitting. The fan on the lcd is just a little help for the lcd.

I think in your current set up the in and out fans that are in line will not cool air well as it is just getting sucked back out as soon as it enters. Also i am going to try and keep mine quite, why do you need fans to suck air out, it's just more noise.
 
Design looks familar, your fans are ALL wrong mate, your using a 400w light kit, thats a LOT of heat man trust me, i was having trouble with the 250w version, try keep the freznals cool, as they are the main thing that get buggered by the heat, try suck air out form behind the bulb, that way, it will pass cooler air over the bulb, then have 2 fans, blowing cold air onto the lcd, and same for freznal, i got about 10 fans atg the mo, not fitted, just sitting there, trying to find best places before fixing roof,

laaaate
 
True, I have been thinking about a upright projector like hillbillys as it looks nice (well his does anyway) and it takes up less space and i would be able to mount it easily so I am thinking of going that route but how will the picture be??


Because with my current one the lcd is before the mirror so would it affect the image atall?
 
Well I have brought 2 angled bits of aluminium and 8*8 nuts and bolts 1 pack contains 8 nuts and bolts and its £1.30 think i got ripped 🙁

Goign to be using 6mm mdf for sides and top and internal parts
And the base will be made from 12mm mdf (left overs from last projector which was poor)
 
Ok bit p***** off cos i wrote a massive post and it said page cant be displayed 😡

So short:

I havent done any updates here in a while cos i been to busy away from pc building the projector and being ill

So here is the light box

So this is the back panel with the 120mm fan at the bottom (its going to need some sort of filter or something to stop light escaping from the box or i will have far to much light bounding around outside the box

Here is the tunnel in which the lcd will sit with the frensels and erm air 🙂

The lcd pictured is my broken one 🙁 as its my test subject for getting it aligned (to some degree anyway)

I need to cut a hole for air to cool the lcd and frensels
