hey, i read this on slashdot, it's awsome, you can make your own projector out of an LCD monitor, and a overhead projector.

maybe if you can get your hands on an LCD with a broken backlight that you can pick up cheap, you can make one.

I've seen this done for TI calculators, but never thought about using it for a computer.

Interesting mod. It could be used as a television display too.
But you can see the image only if there's no lights in that room.

Yes yes..

However they show you how bright it is even with lights on. True that the results are not sufficient enough to be bright enough to view during light conditions. However I think that this is a cool mod and deserves the right to be tested out.

I think it is neat. I would be very worried that I was going to break the screen. At least it isn't one of those projectors made out of boxes with a large magnifying plastic sheet that you slip in front of a TV or monitor.
