Im looking to built a video projector out of a lcd panel and a overhead projector. Pretty much just something to mess around with. I have 2-3 old laptops i have accired over the years that have been stripped of most of there stuff. ram / battery / hd / cd / etc. What i need to know is there anyway i can maybe buy a controller for one of there lcd screens or something and hook the screen up to my desktop or even a tv in if the controller supports it. If that is possable it would save me from halfing to buy a lcd monitor to convert into this.

If it aint possable my next bet would probly be to find enough parts to get one of the laptops running and use its screen as the projector. id just half to mount the laptop on the side of the overhead or something. Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks Smackre,
