Try a plastic case on the first customer for one month and see what happens but $200 is too cheap . Go for a profit margin Confused

I have given up on the plastic case. the parts on this one that i made are epoxy and woven cloth. I meant to post this in the derfla case thread. but i goofed and posted them in this thread.

Nice final product. Have you ever thought of doing custom cases for other projectors?

Other than Ampros, what PJs are ugly enough to need a custom case?

Ok that Barco is Ok looking; but take a look at the older 800, 801, 1208, and 1209; they look almost as bad as an Ampro Shocked



Why just as ugly as an Ampro

Derfla, can you make a hushbox for a 1292? I saw earlier in the thread that someone mentioned the hushbox thing.

I think the idea of doing a generic hushbox would be a good route to try. Who cares about the case then? Maybe two different sizes one for the smaller 5.5'-7" and the next for 8"-9" projectors? I know the size might be large or small for some projectors but your looking to lower noise not save ceiling space.

Not a bad Idea! can I get som pictures of favorite styles then I will come up with something. I would also need the size specks for various projectors, to make a universal one. I figure the only thing that would need to be different would be foam around the lenses.
