This is my first post, but I can honestly say I've been obsessed with building my own PJ ever since I came across this site about a month ago & turning my room into a theater..I wish I would hurry up.
Well bought a cheaper 17" LCD off Ebay, already got a 550FL fresnelfrom before, from 3D Lense, now looking into buying the following. The E-ballast is expensive but I can buy it locally in Australia. Does this still need capacitor/ignitor, as far as I know it doesn't. What I'm having trouble with is finding a descent place to buy a descent lamp. Both E-ballast & lamp are sold by same company, but it doesnt seem they sell better lamps, though, will that do?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks ozstang65, I had a look, out of curiosity,
how much does the above setup cost?
