Link-tastic: boo-yah.
The above link is to a "build-it-yourself" LCD Video Projector website. They're selling an instruction manual, and parts, for customers to build a supposedly equal or superior quality LCD Video Projector than most commercial projectors, for a significantly lower price. The screenshots look good, but really, how much can you glean from a digital camera shot of something projected on a wall/screen?
I would attempt this, simply because the price is right and the gains are so high if successful, but I can't due to lack of skills. Minor carpentry and electrical skills are required (these hands were made for Keyboard work, not hammer and saw work!).
Has anyone else tried or even heard of this before? If this kit is all that it's cracked up to be, it could be a VERY cheap alternative to the $6000 (CAD) LCD Rear-projection TV I've had my eye on for some time now.

"Yay! We did it!"
"Who are you?"
"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
