The folks at LumenLab are here to help. They have a full DIY kit, forums, and free instructions on creating your own HD projector for pennies. While it may require a degree in electronics and a underdeveloped fear of death, it seems like an interesting way to rock your own 120" screen.

Your own HD projector for pennies is a bit misleading... My home brew projector included $50 in optics, $100 in lighting gear and a PIII laptop I had lying around. The rest of the wood and bits were things I had lying around as well so $150 sounds great. That is until you factor in the 400+ hours I spent building and tinkering with it. Uncle Sam thinks I'm worth about $24 an hour, so my projector comes in a hair under $10,000. I loved the build, but I have the patience for that sort of thing. If you like to tinker, have at it, but you still get what you pay for...
