Thanks Waynio!

So how does one paint something in 40º wet rainy weather and no paint booth? Answer: hang some plastic sheeting around a space heater and a heat lamp!

Here's the base taped off and hanging, ready to prime.

After a couple coats of black primer.

Shooting the gloss coat after wet-sanding with 400 grit.

While that was drying, I turned my attention towards the heat shield. Got it cut, bent, and edges filed so I could test it for fit once the base was dry.

Got the base mounted to the A700 this morning and did a smoke test.

An iris-downed shot of the projected image. It's a bit blurry because the Sensei is sitting too close to the wall and it won't focus that close. Also, the date's wrong (should be today).

I'll post up final pics later today. 'til then!

Excellent so you managed to get it complete in time for the show .

When I first glanced at this project I thought this whole touch screen projecter idea was a product that you were going to mod lol, I think it should be a real product being used in education, here's hoping something cool comes from it for you while it's at the show mate .

Looks great, good luck with the show!

Thanks x88x!

Brought Sensei in to the conference room at my work place to take final shots. Enjoy!

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me throughout this project: Moddersmart, Crucial, Pacific Waterjet, and especially to Lenovo for having the contest and providing me with one of their cool products to mod!

one day, you will fail to impress me.. and on that day the earth will stand still. everyone will stop. and it will be the end of the world.

thankfully that day is no where near us. so until then. i love your work!

So...... What does something like that sell for? Seriously though this is something that there is a market for. Unfortunately anything actually built to sell wouldn't be anywhere near as pretty.
