Does anyone know about these projector plans that are so common on ebay? They say with their lens and $20 worth of materials, you can build a projector. What I want to know is, first, can it be built for $20, and is the quality any good if so? I'd like to purchase one of these and give it a shot if it's worth it.

Yes Michael, the picture is FANTASTIC. BTW, I have some beautiful farmland for sale in Florida. It's worth a fortune but I need money bad and am willing to sell it cheap via wire transfer. I have a feeling you might be interested.

p.s. I also recently discovered an ancient deed from my family showing that we own the Brooklyn Bridge. My attorney has informed me we have the right to charge everyone an access fee that travels over the bridge. It's worth millions, but I don't have the money to develop the toll system. Would you be interested in purchasing shares in the bridge?

QQQ, take it easy on the poor guy. Michael, the projector consists of a flash light, a plastic tube and a light condenser plastic lens. You insert a slide on the side od the plastic tube, turn the flash light on from the back of the plastic tube and project the picture to a white wall. The results are fenomenal. A very high resolution digital picture that compares to a 5 mega pixels digital camera. Go for it!! The best part of it, is that you build the projector yourself!!

Tsk,tsk, gentleman . Take it easy on the guy. My only thought would be that " you get what you pay for". It's a cliche but its really appropriate. Ok i'll tell the truth, i bought it and put it together. Immediately afterward i threw out my Runco 9in Crt projector. Comparing it to this the Runco is Crap!

QQQ, you are obviously quite bored, or maybe just boring. emda-whatever, try "phenomenal". Thanks Daniel, see how easy that was? Glad to see not everyone is a douchebag today.
