Alright I have been I guess a lurker actually for I believe 3-4 years. (I want to say when you had to be a customer to access certain sections can't recall exactly) Well I decided two months or so to register and have been reading ever since in all the possibilities. I was heading towards 15.4" but if I can achieve the equivilant hd with 10.6 thats the way I will go. Still confused with some things I am sure I will be able to figure it out hopefully. I am usually always doing diy type of things or "hacking" from modding consoles, planning on putting a pc in my car with 7" touchscreen, IR receivers etc.. I know my main issue will be with the box for a fact.

I currently live in an apartment but mounting to the ceiling if need be won't bother me it can be fixed with a little putty. I would like for everyone to be able to play the Wii with this projector so I was thinking possibly a coffee table type of design unless it can be built small and light enough for the ceiling.

Here is what I am looking at purchasing so far from all the threads I read. If you see something and feel I can get better quality of something please feel free. Although I am far from rich I want quality to play a factor as much as I can afford.

EDIT: I believe this actually belongs in the small panels forum so if a mod would delete this. Sorry

1 Night on the couch with the wife, priceless... unless she gets pregnant Good luck on your mission, Im kinda on the same boat, been lurking for years and years, and still havent made the jump, 1 day...

Well I have some extra cash so if I don't start buying stuff now I will never get anything. Also some of these geniuses here have posted some screenshots that have hooked me like crack.

Ok so I thought I had some links saved in my favorites but apparently not. I am trying to decide on what triplet to get I know LL has one but I had read some were using one called besseler. Any advantages? Also anyone know the thread where lighting was discussed for the 10.6? I know most spoke of the 150w phillip but I am trying to find where to get the mogul or alternative better lighting.

Welcome to the club. I'm getting my 10.6" on the way. What's great about this panel is that it will work with all your components out of the box (all the connections are there). Being that you're in an apartment, it would probably be best to keep it on the floor or coffee table. Though my box isn't heavy, the lamp ballast really adds weight. Plus you would have to deal with keystoning. However, it's up to you ultimately. Good luck with the build. We're all learning together.

So I have everything basically just sitting on a sheet of wood and a small piece of cardboard blocking light from the top of the lightbox to the top of the frezs. This is unsplit 6 ft from the wall and 71" projection. Now the one wear Test is the clearest, its just a clear protection sheet that was on a lcd where I wrote test, funny thing is that it is laying on the first frez. When I placed the sheet infront of the frezs you can see they did not come out as clear, the unclear ones where the best I could get it. Pictures where also taken with one 85w spotlight bulb and the other is a "100"w floro, and the kitchen is to the right with those lights on. Any pointers or suggestions? Waiting on my lcd hoping to get it tomorrow.


edit: guess I am gonna have to find hosting for the pics and thats that I resized and brought the size down to 152KB
