The whole box which is painted with its first coat I don't know which color it's going to be. The pipes are there to cool the bottom.

Nice 'n' Clean! I like your box, especially your panel mount. Also your air-flow idea through the pipe is very intriguing - can you explain a little bit how that works, I see you have two fans in that compartment, are they both blowing in the same direction? Is that air then sacked in through the pipe to cool the panel from below?
Thanks

The ventilators at the back will be in a closed box which will be devided in two seperate sections. The bottom part of the box will cool the lamp-compartment the upper part will vent air from the pipes which are connected to the bottombox. The only way air can flow will be trough the lcd controller-hole in the bottom trough the pipes out of the back. This will ensure double lcd cooling and eclectronic parts cooling, as all electronic part will reside in the bottom box

Showing both ventilators in the back. The LCD controller is mounted at the bottom of the box

The front...

The original connector and buttons reused

Closed...

The bottom box which will hold all electronic parts like the ballast and the power adapters.

Please leave your thought and comments!

looks good - it would of been awesome to hinge from the front for keystoning - in refrence to the last picture

It would, but the connector-strip wich connects the buttons to the controller are at the front I can't hinge it from there...

yeah i saw that - still looks pretty cool with those pipes out the side -

:Thumbs Up:

Looks great.

Thanks man!

looks good

That box looks great. Are you SURE there's gonna be enough airflow through that pipe tho?

Thanks for the input!

I do expect to have enough flow through the pipes. The pipes are 22mm in diameter. The pipes themselves wil radiate heat as well. But if it doesn't work after all I should have enough cooling anyway.

<moved my own question to the protected forum>

Lovin' that projector.

nice. being an overclocker, i appreciate "cool" cooling solutions like that. you should go work for cooler master, or zalman. how innovative.

Thanks man!. I'am thinking about putting copper plating in the lamp compartment leaving 5mm between the plates and the wall. The air between will then be ventilated. This way I will have an copper box in my box and I only have to use the lid on the front part of the box

[or just wait for pictures which show what i mean....]

The wiring... an art apart

Almost done

TADAAAA

The whole box.

The copper around the lamp has 1 cm of air all around, this way the heat will not be transfered to the MDF plates.

The box with the copper lid closed.

You can see the two air holes in the box. They are at both sides. Air will be sucked from there by the bottom fan. The air leaves the copper box through four holes behind the reflector (see later pic)

The reflector, lamp and air holes in the backplate. Air flows from the sides of the copper box to the back of the reflector, cooling the box from the outside and the inside.

From the front with the copper lid closed

The glass closes the first part of the box which is vented by the lower ventilator. The lcd is ventilated by the upper fan through the pipes.

I will add some results later they really blew me away!

WOW man, that's some serious thinking you did. I love it!! I might steal some of your "Cool" idea's
Can't wait for the results.

Hey with all of that air flow, do you think that you might implode your box?

PS: Is that a JS series Ibanez I see in the background?

That's a sharp eye! Yes that's the JS, a super guitar in my opinion.

What can I say, I'm a Satch fan!

Now all you need to do is rent the crane to lift the box into place ....

It is ceiling mounted at the moment actually, and yes it is heavy!

I would love to see the ceiling mount, and how much of a keystone problem you have on the screen. Any chance pics will be loaded soon of the output and the mount?

Will try to make some tonight. I will have to borrow a camera from a friend.
Yesterday I moved my light a little to the back, made a huge difference in light ouput. Still tuning!....

I promised to place some pictures only but that's kinda hard right now as all my digitall stuff was stolen last night... Laptop, camera, phone, computer...

Sorry to hear of your loss man, some people just don't get it! whatever they steal or aquire dishonestly will never benefit them in the long run. Why can't they just find jobs and buy their own stuff.
With time you'll be able to replace them, meantime just try to enjoy your PJ.

Very sorry to hear that :angry:

Sorry for your loss. I really feel your pain. It happened with me couple times too. Thieves piss me off.
But they leave your pj. That is another good thing about homemade pj, it is big and heavy, almost thief free.
Anyways, I wish you can recover or replace your stuff soon.

f*c*ers! Same Sh*t happened to me. I hope they get it back 10 fold.

Some people think stuff is theirs while the owners are sleeping... O well it was nice to have for 2 months

Thanks for the comments all! I will get pics online it only takes a little longer.

That sucks dude. My friends just got their apartment robbed (while they were sleeping in it!) The guy took their credit cards, 2 cell phones and my friends 15" LCD (no it wasn't me.) At that point one of my friends started half-walking up so the guy took off.

Anyway, sorry for your loss.

I have an alarm system and security to prevent thefts of this nature. A 13# shetland sheepdog as an alarm, and 130# doberman as security. I pity the fool!

I was sleeping 10' from the room as well the thieve(s) could see me sleep....

Swines! They'll get what comes to them - what goes around comes around! My flat was robbed a few years back, so I really sympathize mate.

Hope everything is sorted out for you soon. Lovely PJ by the way!

While I was stationed in Spain, my father and his wife came over for a visit. One night while they were staying with us we went out on the town for some food and drink, neither of were drunk though. So after that we headed home to get some needed sleep..
While we were sleeping some one broke in my 2nd story apartment using a ladder and a car jack to spread open the bars in the window.

Carried out every thing in the living room and kitchen, (including the water heater) through the front door.

We were not the only ones in the building that got hit that week while sleeping. It happened to my best friend and my Landlord too.

The thieves were bold, silent and crafty.

Talk about waking up to a surprise.

Hey J, sorry to hear that.

Your cooling idea looks promissing, have you had the opportunity to test for temperature?
