    Why would you want an old lcd monitor they are slow ass hell for games and movies and have bad colour rendering.

    If you want to actifly use a lcd monitor you better get one with <20 ms delay time or else you will get ghosting effects all over the place.

    Those shitty freznel (spl) lens boxes? they are a waste of time, they work, but are of really dubious quality.

    Well that Iiyama they used IS 30ms!!

    I'd be very dubious about doing this. Yeah I've seen the instructions floating around. I'd say it would seriously affect the life of your monitor - yes they mention cooling, but there's still a great light source pointing at it. And the results are never going to be AS good as the real thing. Sure, you might get a fairly good result, but personally I think it is sloppy. I'd much rather have the real thing.

    Oh, and Tach, that's fresnel. It is pronounced "free-nell", not "frez-nul" like a lot of people say.

    Well the main component that will cost the most is the LCD Panel. Heck I wouldn't mind buying an old $100 LCD Dell panel from the late 90s and using that. They have adequate MS delay. My local college has a few of those overhead projectors and even though a new one costs at least $100, an old one from the late 80s should cost around $30-$50 depending where you go to look. So if you look really hard, you'd spend at the most $175 to $250. Also, doing a DIY project like this, you shouldn't expect it to last very long. PRobably at least a year until the LCD starts to have that brown spot they mentioned. I'm thinking a faster louder and bigger fan will be enough to keep it cool and functional for more than a year.

    Just dont expect them to last as long as a regular professionally made one will.
