 Wish you had $1000 to throw down for a projector? Well, if you have an old laptop lying around instead, here is a simple way to cheaply build your own digital projector. Lifehacker posts a HowTo excerpted from DIYer Randy Sarafan's 62 Projects to Make with a Dead Computer: (And Other Discarded Electronics).Materials and equipment for a projector setup, including a light source, cardboard box, and a list of instructions.

You Will Need:

  • LCD monitor or laptop with a broken backlight
  • Mini screwdriver set
  • Cardboard box, the same height as the projector bed
  • Overhead projector (available on eBay or Craigslist, or at Office Max)
  • Small fan
  • four 1/2" spacers
  • DVDs!
