I am an experienced pc builder / overclocker / breaker of pc components
and am fascinated by the idea of building a projector to complement my gaming rig.. I dont have any experience in wiring etc, and I am in the UK which makes getting parts problematic to say the least.. Anyway, I have hatched a very early plan for building a projector..
Im looking ideally at a 17 inch screen cos of the 1280*1024 res, esp since the price of 17 inchers over here is almost the same as 15's.
Wiring im unsure of, really unsure, and somewhat scared as well
I am planning on minimising my exposure to messing up the wiring and killing myself by using two 'mini circuits'.. (I assume when i strip the monitor I use the built in power cable and dont have to do any fancy business here..)1)the wiring for the lamp / ballast
2)the wiring for the fans / fan controller. I intend to use an old power supply and the wire trick so I can use this power supply to power the cooling. (being a silence fanatic I will use a pc fan controller with multiple 12cm fans to get the quietest possible cooling)
Now, the lamp /ballast/ wiring, im looking at getting http://www.diyprojectorcompany.com/catalog...&products_id=87 - the 210-240v one (which will work over here in the uk right?) - they wire it up for an extra 10 dollars or something.. Is this lighting kit up to scratch? (i know its kinda from a rival company, but they will do the wiring;))
lenses / fresnels etc im not yet sure of, nor the glass or monitor
- but one thing at a time..anyways, is there a glaring problem with the above?
cheers
Bob
