i think if this were the case we would already be inundated with companies selling "diy" projectors to the mainstream. they've been around for some time. when i looked into them i recall problems such as signifigant heat output, extremely slow lamp startup time, low lumens, etc. not that it's a rip-off or that it shouldn't be considered as an option. from what i read it looked far from equal, much less superior, and i suspect if that had changed the world would have noticed.
