Convert Your RPTV Into a Home Theater Projector
Chris Hunkele sent in this pretty incredible story of do-it-yourselfing from a guy that took his busted down old 50″ rear-projection-television (RPTV), took the front screen off of it, mounted it behind a rear-projection screen that was much bigger (pictured above) and turned it into a huge-screen projector for his home theater. The magic all started [...]
