Ace3000-1 : Where are ya gonna put the ITX motherboard for the full HTPC setup?...hehe...gonna add a room?
Pinkmouse : The MP3 player is for the KIA ...the projector just "looks" like a KIA 😉
The KIA goes "honk honk"....the projector goes "beep beep" (when there is a BIOS failure
)
What do ya think...cup holder? (don't say DVD tray...its a side mount 😉 )
zardoz...will build this thing into his HUGE desk once the "throw issue" is resolved...

Hmmm
Looking at that pic, Zardoz, makes me wonder if the ancient Egyptians were actually building DIY projectors when they built the pyramids!🙂

afterthought..
I'd be happy if it looked like my Cinqo it looks prety cool...hmmm a KIA mounted PJ...hmmmm possibillities
After all it's gonna have an LCD in it......just a matter of some power hungry lighting and a lens setup......

hey zardoz that projector of yours isnt too big, i would have to say it looks abit like "ET" though lol jk u could make it smaller now i know that yours has 1 lens in it and one mirror, i could half the hight of it by putting a bigger mirror before the lens, and having the lens at the right angle after the mirror that way the lens is more to the front wich makes the hight of the thing lower.

it is a normal lense from an ohp; throw distance to the screen approx. 80"; picture diagonal 4:3 scale approx. 80" (2,5m)

you could make the throw distance of your lense longer with a bi-konkav lense; may be from an optician; you could scale the distance you need and then buy one spectacles glas with that focus... in combination with one of those ohp lenses you'll get the throw distance you'll need... i treid it and it works, but i don't need that with my setup now because the throw distance fits perfect in my room...
