Hi i was looking to buy a new projector but my jaw dropped at the cost of replacement bulbs i saw a video on how to convert an old school projector to work as a home cinema .. but for the life of me i don't know how to connect it up can anyone help with this please, if you are in London or are willing to send a detailed instructions or a video recording on how to build it and connect the projector up i would appreciate it very much willing to pay for detailed media recording on dvd format or emil video.. but will only pay on receipt of dvd or plans i need to know how to connect the LCD screen to the projector and the conections used to connect it to the viewing item = ie - xbox- ps one/ ps two- sky box all have scart leads as well as standard connections i would like to convert it so i can just plug in and play also i would like to connect my computer so i can play my pc games on it to.
Is this to much or complicated i am good with electronics and general D.I.Y so it would be a great project for me do as well as being very cheep and cheerful in return i will pay you by postal order or by cheque..? only after i have received the plans and are decent not fake as i have been done before by improper plans or one one occasion never received them so i am a bit weary with parting cash now
can also pay by pay pal if necessary

There's a lot of info here on this site, but I also recommend - and very highly as well- you visit DIYPROJECTORKITS.com
Join the forums there & there are plenty of helpful tutorials and members there that will assist in all your needs depending on what you'd like to achieve. The online store also has pre-built enclosures available if you're not into constructing an enclosure as well as all other parts required to build
OHP projection is most probably the easiest method and should not be a problem to get up and going. (cheapest way to test is get a 2nd hand portable DVD player or some cheap LCD for a couple of GBP (there are some dirt cheap ones available), strip it -so you get to see whats inside a LCD panel and how to handle them - and place over your OHP!)
There are plenty of knowledgeable people on the forums here as well as a few other sites. Definitely check out Hertzblasters DIY projector from the Phillipines - it's mind blowing!
Lumenlab.com is also very good website to visit and have a very good Wiki to help get you started
Allinbox.com is great and they have links to all other websites around Europe (allinbox is french site so may need translation)
There are so many communities with a lot of information
As for a video tutorial, I am not aware of any full tutorials available. TESCORP from DIYPROJECTORKITS.com I believe is in the process of making some How-To videos and tutorials, but they are not yet available. Youtube may have some videos but nothing complete I'm afraid (maybe for one 6-part video)
