The ballast is remote mounted in an old computer power supply case, keeps it small and less heat. 😀
The screen is the one form Cunck tire and not with a dvd player. Just composite in didn't think there was any need to play around with vga as te res just isn't high enough.
Materials.
1 - 175 watt halide 4200k with m57 ballast
2 - 3 page magnifyers from Staples. (could have done 2 with more space between light and freznels)
3 - 1 4" fan with 12v power supply
4 - Kwik Kopy lens (had on hand or i would have ordered)
5 - Aluminium sheet from Revy
6 - 1/2" MDF cut to spec
Total was around $320 without the lens. Hope that helps you guys out.

Clinton,
About your lens, what are their specs and where can i order them from? I am having a bicth of time finding a 80mm triplet w/ a +300mm FL.
And did you wire up your light bulb? I got my HDI but i need to wire it up. If you have instructions, please do share. Thanks 🙂
This is what my bulb stuff look like, right now. ----

Here's a diagram for wiring up your ballast. http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/lamps-now/m57.pdf
I don't have any info on the lens (couldn't find any. All i know is the focal length is approx 8.5" . That's all i know and i bought it with the Kwik Draw projector. Tha art store i bought it from ordered 2 more lenses for me just so i have a spare for $50 each. Here's a link to the manufactures page with the lens i have. http://store.kopykake.com/cgi-bin/store/LA001.html I bought mine from here http://www.artistsupplies.com/Store Locations/Store_Locations.htm They have a location in Winnipeg if that's close enough. Hope that helps you out.
