I'm sure you could make a wooden box for it to dress it up a little bit. This way you don't have to spend the money on instructions.

I am really thinking about doing this...anyone have any good links (the toms hardware ones are broken) to other diy projectors or experience doing it themselves?

You can buy new PJ's so cheaply these days it doesn't seem worth it to me...

seems like a no brainer...you can build one for 300 or pay 2500 for one of about the same quality...

**** ive been thinking about buying a projector but building one for so cheap would be //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif. I wish I wasnt in a small as dorm room. i may still give it a try this summer.

I've seen hd projectors go for $600.I have an infocus x1 that I bought 2 years ago that looks fantastic for being enhanced defintion and I only paid $500 for that so building one doesn't really make any sense .
