How do you make a projector?

Making a projector is quite hard but if you have the write stuff you can do it.

The Components you need are:

1) - LCD panel projector (ebay, $290 - Active Matrix a must!!! - 1024x768 Native (a lot scale up from 800x600) )

2) - overhead projector (ebay, $40 - You want high lumens, long bulb life, cheap replacement bulbs, color balance wheel, (not absolutely required, only on high end overheads)

3) - TV card for PC (I got a cheap on ATI TV wonder, $40 )

4) - Fast PC ( I've got a 400mhz celeron but will be going up to at least a 1.2ghz AMD )

5) - Descaler ( Free software from the net - requires a lot of CPU )

6) - Non existent "video level" plugin for descaler ( see below for description )

7) - projection screen? ( I do mine on my "textured" wall and it looks a little blurry. - (oh yeah, a dark room makes the difference, not dark just dim)
