Hey im doing the same at the moment! just taking my 9700 3m ohp and alot of custom wood! going good so far... i think!
if i could give some advice build your box with something lighter than 18mm custom wood (MDF board) mines the weight of a small baby.....
on a steam roller!! get some pics of the build!

that is why i choose 6mm

i shouldve guessed! when i brought the two 400mm x 2400mm 18mm mdf boards up the stairs and complained that "shet this is heavy!"
currently building it in the middle of the lounge and the wife wondered if i was building a large coffee table first! ..... smart ass.......
well this will be my tester projector! if this works well then i might shell out some coin and buy the proper parts! will be shipped from your country!! and our nz dollar isnt high enough to buy yet!!

i just broke my second lcd
dang

keep going! i was 3rd time lucky!! hahahahaha
