    Default DIY HT Projector

    Perhaps you have seen this........perhaps you haven't....

    ....but here is a US site and links to a community devoted to the construction of HT projectors...

    Ours is not to reason why.....only to point and giggle.

    Is it really worth the effort?

    You can get new ones on ebay under $600 au including postage with spare lamp.

    Check out Barry White's extensive thread following his construction a few years ago.

    Maybe with prices so low it isn't any more, but I gather the quality of the home-builts is waaaay more than you get for $600.

    cheers,

    You lucky bugga! Looked at a couple of 2nd had units before I bought my Hitachi (LCD). Absolutely sensational (sony from memory).

    But the cost / size / weight / missus all said no.
