Searching for a Cheap Overhead Projector?

stinkjones asks: "I recently found a project on Hackaday, which I found very interesting. It was linked to Tom's Hardware, and involved a massive, and cheap, projector. I have an LCD projector, but this seems like a great project with a pretty cool result. I already have an LCD that's perfect for the job but overhead projectors are hard to find. Retail they are around $500 new or a lot more, and if you can find them used they have a huge range of prices. Does anyone know where to find a cheap one?"

How does this make it?

I saw those hack sites on making a projector with an lcd screen, it is nothing new.

What I don't understand is why you have to Ask Slashdot this? The plans I saw had all these suggestions already mentioned. Check local and state surplus sales and auctions, checkout ebay, there are many places. A couple minutes of research would've pointed you in the right direction.

If you need this kind of hand holding perhaps you should start with a more simple mod, like changing a tire, or setting the time and date on your VCR.
