Just wanted to post up a few pics of the new projector i just finished. It uses a 15" Multisync 1560v+, 400 watt halide and a lens kit from LL. The HTPC will be built into the frame when i have more time to work on it.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Very nice work! Love the metal.
It looks like you might be having problems with dark edges, or is this just the camera?
What projection lense did you go with?
Again, nice job 😉

Very nice work.
The edges are darker on all 15"+ monitor projectors that don't use a precondensor - it shows up on camera much more than it shows up IRL.

Very nice work , I like that you used a 15" Display LCD. I was thinking about ripping my free 18" Dell apart and using it , but that would be a pain and it has dark spots.
I really like that design , got any schematics on it?

Yea, love the metal finish! Really really do! And the screenshots are good too, is that SharkTale in the first one?
What a massive image!
One comment - whats with the very yellow tint? Really messes up the colors!
Overall great job! How'd it feel to see this baby light up a 140 inch image?😀
Oh ye - lets see some of the insides🙂
Cheers,
Alex

Thanks guys, there are no real dark edges unless you look really hard the camera does this all do. The yellow tint is also the camera, just bought it yesterday and haven't had time to mess with the settings yet. I'll see if i can get some images of the inside posted up, oh and it uses the lens kit from Lumenlab.

Played with all the settings today and got a much better looking image. Here are a few more screen shots and a few of the insides.

I second that.
Man standard lightpaths that most people use are such a waste of space though. Look at a commercial projector, there isint any emptyness in any of them!
Anyway - well done Clinton🙂

I especially like the Shrek shot. Really good colours and very vibrant. Also can see you taking the picture in the reflector!
Keep up the good work

Does it have any heat problems, I see you don't have any cooling method? Metal does conduct heat much better than wood, so I guess the whole thing kinda acts like a heatsink right?
I'm in awe man, that's AWESOME work!

No no heating problems, those 2 80mm case fans above the light in the back (second pic of the insides) do a very nice job of cooling. The LCD stays at 82 degs F for as long as you want to watch.

Looks great, probly stupid question, but i'm new to all this but why hasn't some1 did this kind of design with a 7" lcd?
Very cool! But be careful where you point it. I swear that Flash Gordon used something that looked a lot like that to blow spaceships out of the sky. It's nice to see a new design, so many people seem to be following the same path. I think that since this is not your usual type of 'hobby' the projector can be a conversation piece when not in use. Why not make it look cool.
