I just wanted to start my thread as I now have enough to really get going. I just recieved my box today that I ordered from HJS Productions. I also have my lenses, Light bulb and Norpro bowl. Unfortunatly I got my 15" LCD from Techbench but I had a bright red stuck pixel so I have sent it back for an exchange. Now I just need my balast and to get my LCD back.

Here is a Pic of the Box.

Yet another Pic

Here is a Pic of the bad Pixel I had on my LCD Panel.

whats the resolution on that panel? the dead pixel is huge!!!! anyways, after seeing your box, you sold me on the pre-built one. does he pre-drill anything, or cut away any spaces in the box to mount fresnel, lcd, etc?

It has a resolution of 1024x768.

The box came to me just as you see it. No mountings for the frensel but the slot is cut in the top for airflow over the LCD panel. I need to do alot of finishing to the box though.

cool, thanks for the quick response

also plz post more picts. of the box if u can! thanks

nick

you can go here http://www.hjsproductions.web1000.com/ for the box pics.

Just got my new LCD panel in and built a frame for it.

Notice no bad pixels in this one

Just a note to say that I know the panel needs to be inverted. I was just mounting it rightside up for testing.

I stripped my LCD this evening. Here it is back in the frame.

Here is my LCD mount.

I directly attached the rear frensel to the mount.

Here is the tray in my box.

A view from the back of the box.

And now some results. Here is a pic from Back to the Future with my daughter for scale.

Here is one from Jurassic Park.

My cat decided to see what was going on.

Looks great!

looks good, how are you finishing the box?

Nice 'n' clean shots!

Good job...
Great looking frame for your lcd

How do you like the box from HJS productions? I am thinking about getting one.

thanks,

Here is a pic from Return of the King. I am trying to experiment with exposure and sizing to get the best fit.

Another one.

One more

Looks great.

How big is your picture? Can you take a pic to show how you have your projector mounted?

Thanks,

Hi,

Can you put a picture of how you mounted the ballast and capacitor? Also if you can share the dimensions of your box.

I have trouble fitting the ballast in the same box and am thinking of moving it out to a separate box.

The Box from HJS is real nice. Good and solid construction. I just wish he would have put centering marks on the boards but I was able to figure it out.

I do not have it mounted yet. It is sitting on my kitchen table. I plan on mounting it on the celing in my living room when I get it totaly finished.

Here is a picture that shows the size more. It is right at 6ft across.

Here is my lamp and ballast.

Here is some better detail of my LCD mounting. I took apart the screen, removed the backlight and cut the back plastic out with a dremel tool. Then I put it back together in the metal frame and mounted it to a wooden frame I built.

Here is my rear frensel that I mounted directly to the LCD tray.

Nice framing job on everything, looks like you hit 1.21 jiggawatts!

Nice work . I have the same Ballast , and I plan on mounting it outside the box . A paper came with it stating it's recommended to be mounted away from the lamp , that it will prolong the life of the ballast .. Not to mention it will keep the inside of the box cooler .. Has anyone else mounted this ballast outside the box ?

The pic's look great !! I hope mine turns out that good ..
