I'll probably give the led projectors another year to mature (the new pico dlp's sound promising) and then try to go for a desktop type setup 3x1024x768 @ 25-30 in screens

My living room sports a 1080i DLP projector (See my sig), and I'm getting ~3250-4250 out of my bulbs. I've only had to replace it once because my friends mistreated my projector while I was out of town on vacation and they were watching the place. (They fired up the projector to watch tv/play guitar hero, let it run overnight (as long as projector has sync, it stays on), then found it the next day still on, turned it off, then right back on, tip of the bulb blew off from the shrinking then rapid re-expansion.) Bulbs are only $340 new for me. However, I am interested in the $65 fix. I do still have my old cage, anything you can recommend for me? What kind of plaster, and what kind of bulb do I need to replace the blown one?

Quite a lot to read, but here is the thread about replacement bulbs.
