I think what it boils down to is that it's realistically(sp!) impossible
to build a computer grade LCD projector for $200.  From what I've seen of
the projects, they're using small LCD panels that have a max resolution of
640x480.  This is perfect for the task they're used in - home tv
projection.  Unfortunately, the demand for this kind of thing means that
to get computer grade gear used, we pay high prices.  This is because Joe
Sixpack wants one so he can watch a foodball game on a 12 foot screen
while scratching himself and sucking down beer with his equally witless
buddies.
