PopSci ran this article on how Lumenlab is simplifying LCD projectors for DIY'ers using standard parts. The best part is that it's a Hi-def (you pick the resolution based of the LCD) and then illuminate it with a $30-50 dollar bulb that lasts 3 times as long as a normal projector bulb!
(This is a great little build, but I wouldn’t try it. You have to be very confident in your skills to disassemble an LCD monitor and potentially destroy it with even the smallest mistake. I'm not willing to possibly blow at least $150 on a screen, plus the cost of all the other parts. Now, Lumenlab prebuilt projector sounds pretty cool...cheap enough too, but the resolution is low. That's OK for TV shows or even DVDs, but you couldn't reasonably project your computer output at good quality. You probably could do PowerPoint, if it didn't have any very detailed graphics, I guess...)
