Where I work there is one of those LCD things that you put on the overhead projector. It does not apear to give a very bright image but that may it just needs a more powerful light source. I have not used it myself.
Maybe you could get a mirror (or flip the unit over) and rear project it onto a screen of some type. Viola, cheapo rear screen projection.
: You know the ones that use a tv or monitor and a fresnel lens? My plan is to get an old overhead projector (like back in elementary school, remember?) and one of those 640x480 LCD transparency overlays you can find on ebay. I'd put some sort of cooler light behind the projecter (I don't want that loud fan on during movies and games), and then mount the whole business in the back of a cab to project on the wall or a screen behind it. I would probably have to be pulled back a bit from the wall.
: Has anyone set something like this up before? I'd love to hear any ideas or experiences you might have. I'd buy a projector like Chazz here, but I don't have a bunch of money for one of those babies (I wish I did, it'd be sweet).

: : I just picked up a LCD Projector (Galaga never looked so good 8ft tall), but I'm having some problems with the projector. Is there anyone here that I could talk to about one of these?
