Video Projector for Home Theater?

ZeLonewolf writes "I'm thinking about setting up a movie-style home theater system. I've already got the room set up and I've obtained a nice sound system. The last step is to acquire a video projector. I'm considering a few options: Projectors on eBay run from $300 to the tens of thousands. On the other hand, being an electrical engineer, there are plans online to build your own (Google cache), that are potentially as cheap as $200. What are Slashdotters' experiences? Will a $300 projector do the job? How about a home brew?"

    You think fluorescent lighting is 'okay' (to paraphrase)?

    God help you.

    And, if you're dressing yourself under that lighting, God help anyone who has to be seen with you and your heinously mis-matched clothing.
