I've got to try this! You can get OH projectors off the bay for the around £65, add a XVGA 15" monitor for £50....

You can get OH projectors from school for free.

Saw this ages ago, kept meaning to do it...

Mate of mines dad is a caretaker for my old school so they might have an old one they need to get rid of for free

Lousy for a HT (too loud, and lousy black levels)

Will compare it with my Hitachi projector.

For the money it's a fun little project.
