this isn't 100% related to computers, but it would definately go under tips and tricks
anyways, one day i was searching on ebay and i found a lot of items like "100 inch Big Screen Projection TV", but they were only about 10 dollars. I was totally sure it was just some scam, but since it was only 10 dollars, i decided to try it. I was sent a big lens, very low quality. I had to build the projector from cardboard, but it actually worked. The quality wasn't that great, but I was surprised it worked at all. Then i started experimenting, and found that you can achieve higher quality by taking an ordinary lens from a magnifying glass and positioning it in front of any tv or crt monitor. it works better in front of tvs though. basically all you have to do is get a cardboard box, cut a hole in one end, tape the lens there, and attach it to your screen. it really has to be dark, or it's hard to see anything. it'll take some adjusting, but it's not too bad once you get it right.
