Hello Guys, I Am New To Projectors and I've been Thinking about integrated DIY projector
that are already fit inside my pc case for example Above dvd bay or somthing
that will make me move my pc any where i like without the need for monitor moving too.

Is this kind of Idea Hard?.....

Thanks for trouble reading my note wink.gif

Several folks have done this and you can find some information in the small form factor section.

If you are wanting to add a projector to an already existing PC (with the projector inside the same case as the PC components), then I'd recommend against it. The heat that would be produced by the projector's lamp would probably be too much and your PCs internal components probably won't keep cool enough. Anyway, there isn't enough space in the average PC case to house both a PC and projector.

Now, if all you're wanting to do is build a small projector into an empty PC case, then you'll find some examples of others who have done that.

Using high powerd leds can do the job or driving light through poured liquid silicon formed as a cone shape or pyramid contained in acrylic paper
to glow light

dont you think?

If your going to do that with optical grade silicone, then you might as well buy a commercial projector ( Big Bucks for OGS ).
We have seen folks use LED arrays for light. I suspect in a few more years it will be very easy I have been talking with an MFR about placing an array of LEDs directly on a board about 3 x 5 inches Without worrying about the housings, we could pack quite a few leds into that surface area.
Quasi is right that it would produce a lot of heat if you use MH bulbs. I was thinking more of a mini-cpu with a projector attached to the top. Then again, some of the newer mini projectors might be able to be fit into a 5.25 bay...

...just a thought for your favorite LAN party.

And, just to add for completeness... An LED still won't give you as much raw light as a MH lamp will without creating at least as much heat. LEDs (At least the ones that are actually available to the general public) are still less efficient than the MH lamps are, in terms of lumens per watt. Of course the low wattage devices come with a lens, which increases it's relative efficiency within it's viewing cone, but at the kind of power that wil make for a bright image, those don't work out as well anymore.

Its an Honor to have you guys replaying to my mini supjects wink.gif Thank you very much

do you think that the new mini pico projectors with laser mirrors will do good
