Hi,

I thought I would tell you all, Last night my friend borrowed a Computer projector and conected it to his computer. Flying G2 on a 6ft x 5ft screen is awsome ! After a few beers, it gets even better! Hopfully we will do this again.

What brand of computer projector did you use?

What is the cost?

Does it require any other computer hardware/sorfware to operate? If so what are the model numbers for these and the associated costs if known?

HelicopterJohn,

The projector was an Epson, I think ? The cost here in the UK to buy one is aprrox £1500 - £2500 ($2200 - $3500) depending on the quality. Operation is simple, just unplug your monitor cable and connect the projector cable. Windows will detect it and install the drivers.
As an alternative, If your graphics card has a TV out connection ? ( in the UK it could be called an S - video plug) just connect it to your television if it has a suitable plug.
