       | Meta: there's a tiny typo in the title, "marked" should be
       | "market" (as in flea market). I would suggest simplifying it to
       | "Ligra: open source image projector from flea market parts", or
       | something.

       | I once built a DIY beamer out of an old overhead projector and an
       | old 1024x768 pixel TFT screen. Basically, I removed the backlight
       | of the screen, used the raw screen instead of the glass table,
       | and put an extremely bright metal halide lamp and several fans
       | into the projector. This was 20 years ago when beamers where
       | quite expensive, and this one cost around 60 EUR. It worked very
       | well, the picture quality was amazing, and I used it for some
       | years. You could also heat an entire room with it!
