well if you can power the projector somehow sure I would say the best bet would be to bulid it into a car sence they do use up a lot of juse regular battery power could be a problem

I supose step one would be to figure out how much the power draw on the one you want and go from there

Yeah, projectors take a lot of power. And most of them have huge fans and stuff. At one point I was looking into how to build a projector and most of the designs (even the teeny tiny space saving ones) were bigger than most people's N64 portables.

iguess it woulds be better for a car, imagine pulling up to a huge building and playing super smash on it

Build a mini-projector cinema in the back of an old "U-Haul" truck.

(There's an idea... Someday when I get the money...)

At the New York auto show Scion sort of did this. In their new concept the T2B They put a projector in one of the seats, and used the back window as a screen. You can then display messages watch movies and probably play videogames. The T2B will almost definitly make it to production, the projector however may not.

I was thinking bullid one into the dash or hood and point it out the front of the car dash would probubley be best

That would probably be best. Seeing as you're the one who will mostly be watching it. Puting one in the back is only good for when your driving, but then you have to have someone else to drive so you can watche it.
Also if you had it in front you could display it on the car in front of you while you were driving!

Imagine the h##l you'd raise by projecting car chases in a mall parking lot.

The only reason i posted the projector idea was to see if someone would try it and maybe post some supercool images of it.
