[simpits-tech] DIY projector resource...

[Gene Buckle]

LumenLabs has great forum dedicated to people that are building their own 
projectors.

They have a very long thread that lists "compatible" LCD panels that can 
be used for projector builds:

The "FFC" is a Flat, Flexible Cable and is typically used to join two or 
more circuit boards inside the LCD panel case.  The units you should look 
for should be listed as "no FFC" issues.  The idea is that you want to 
avoid having to track down an FFC extension cable.

Older 15" panels are dirt cheap on eBay - cheaper if you find some that 
have dead backlights - you'll throw that away anyway.  With a surplus 
overhead projector, you can easily build a nice projector for your 
simulator.  I know this has been gone over before, but these panels are 
getting _dirt_ cheap on eBay right now and if you've been thinking about a 
DIY projector, get started!
