Hey Guys i'm new to the DIY projection scene.... i'm still readin and dreamin 'bout how i'm gunna do this. One thing i can't figure out though (can't find info on this) and i might just be a dumb Q but i have worked with comercial overhead projectors and they all have focus rings on the front. i don't see anything to focus the picture on anybodys diy pj. does the pj just focus itself no matter what... or what.... here is my plan so far...
Nview Z series projection panel (biddin' on ebay right now) - $100 or less
400W Mh bulb, 36000lumens, m59 ballast
$20 from bulbsource.com
400W magnetic Mh ballast from hellolights.com
$53
240mm Fujinon copy lens from surplusshed.com
$11
not sure about fresnel lens yet but hopefully salvage one from a broken OHP for about a buck or two
$2
other building materials
$50
shipping and handling
$50
Total = $286
do you think these materials can provide a decent screen for movies and PS2 games, and if anybody has advice i'd love to hear it. Thanx in advance guys, i apreiciate (or whatever) all you guys have put into this forum.
