    Need some help with building a simulator!

    I recently purchased the SkyTrak and am planning on building an enclosure with impact screen and projector. Can anyone help me out on what to look for in a projector? I have a 12 foot wide by 10 foot high screen and plenty of ceiling space.

    Also, I am thinking of buying the Microbay enclosure from golfcoachsystems with the upgraded HD screen - is that a good choice for $1100???

    Thanks so much!

    If your area is 12 feet wide go with a 12 foot wide screen and line the walls in plywood and carpet or padding. That'll save a lot of money by skipping the unnecessary $1100 enclosure. Get a sort throw so you don't cast shadows. I use w benq1080st. Works great.

    Thanks for the advice. I need my enclosure to look a little more professional than what I can do myself, so I may spend the money on the Microbay - will definitleyinvest in a good short throw projector!
