I'd also like to try front projection without spending much money, and a starter setup like Firnlamb describes seems ideal, but I'm concerned that Geoffgarcia is right, and that a low cost setup will require watching in darkness. We now use a 14 watt super daylight florescent mounted on the wall behind the 40" LCD monitor for room illumination. That level of illumination is adequate for us, but I worry that it may be too much for low cost front projection.
My target would be something like a Sony VPL-60 with a 92" Stewart FireHawk SST screen, but that's at least a $5K setup.
