First off I want to say thank you to the guys who started this forum. Well I basically wanted to know what else would be needed to make the mega kit work besides a box and lcd monitor. Also I couldn't find any links to images form a complete mega kit so if someone has a link could you post it thanks for any help.

a peice of lexan or tempered glass (to protect the lcd and fresnels from heat and UV), some sort of screen or wall, metal flashing (to cover things that are close to the bulb), paint (for inside of box to prevent reflections).

fan(s), wiring (kit doesn't come with anything to connect the internal components), thermostat if you want to control the fans, possibly weather stripping, creativity smile.gif

It does come with one fan.
I'm in the middle process of building one now.

The enclosure is the hardest part. Figuring out the simple things like mounting of all the lenses and lcd's is the pain.

A few items. You need some way to mount the pro reflector. Either way you will need to get something probably for this. Glue at the very least if you mount it to wood. Then also depending on how you plan on mounting the triplet lens may depend on if you need anything.

And some kind of screen to view it on. I have not got to this yet.

my quick list and very simple list
lexen XL-10 home depot
thermo stat if you want Any hardware store where attic fans are located
wire 16 gauge
sink drain for triplet (tescorp has an article on this)

Wow thanks for the info guys. Do you guys know of anyone whos got one together and has posted some image shots. Also does the picture quality depend more on the LCD choice.
