Don't do it lol! My brother got one of those DIY kits of ebay and there so crap! You need to have such a powerful bulb to get the picture to project. And bulb life vs cost is expensive.

Your lcd screen would have to have exceptionally high resolution to generate a good quality picture and the light projecting the image would have to be a cold cathode device to prevent boiling of the lcd

Why? 1024x768 should be more than enough, shouldn't it?
And as for the "bioling lcd", in that article they of course installed (at least one) fan to the whole thing...

Oh man, that THG article was awesome! You could make your own movie room on a budget! Just do it like at the theaters, where the viewers sit in one room, and the projector is in another room projecting the image through a glass window. I'd do it if I had the room. Thanks for the links Isidor!
