WOW that baby looks amazing!!
I believe you have inspired us all. Could you post another pic with dimensions or maybe an everyday item in the picture as well so we can get a sense of scale??

the size of the thing is about the same size of a vcr but twice the hight, the sizes are 32cm deep by 39cm wide by 14cm high its about the smallest u could make for a 6inch lcd screen, the thing is very compact, trust me or just ask my hands lol it couldnt be anymore compact.

ok this is a shot of the back with the input sockets and the power, main power switch and the fuse holder, the main power switch just isolates the power from when u plug it in as all powers on when u plug it in, once the unit is plugged in and on u can turn it on and off as manny times as u want via the remote as it has a standby system. If u care to look to the front right u might be able to see the 2 relays i made for all to power on and off via the remote wich are tapped into the lcd controler board via 2 wire's

Hi all,
I've been monitoring the posts, and working on a projector for about 3 months. I got some parts from Alan Staples and came up with this...

I will add some design info soon.

Nice man, Nice.
Reminds me of one of those old style telephones, the ones with the bell on top....or maybe a bank machine...Looks good...Is that a fresnel between the panel and objective?

HEY MCar looking good, few questions what type of bulb are you using, do you have pics of the inside of the projector? also did you take any Flat cable lengtening pictures? how long did you make the " splice" Pics pics pics
The bulb is a regular 400 watt MH400U. I just took a bunch of pics that I will post in the morning. The cable was a .5 mm pitch with 10 conductors. I used an exacto knife to split the lines and very carefully soldered some flexible 7 inch wires onto it. I soldered another 4 inch piece of ribbon cable that I purchased that would plug directly into the socket that the original one cam out of. It took about 2 hours. Check my site tomorrow. Thanks for the interest. I took some cool pics of my PC on the wall too.
