where would I find 100 (96) 2ft by 2ft mirrors with which to line an 8 ft
cube room? Hopefully it would be pretty cheap, but without much
noticeable distortion...preferably glass.

I've searched google, but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking
for.

Have you tried a real store that sells glass and mirrors? Or even Home
Depot?



Yeah, depot, if anything, has the polymirrors or the 1x1 tiles.. nothing
2x2.

A glass table top from a local glass shop approx the size I need is about
$36; I need 100 of them. I was hoping to find cheaper. Maybe I'm dreaming
again. It's just a silly project anyways - not worth more than $1000 in
mirrors.

There'll be a white LED in every mirror corner intersection, and certain 2x2
panels will slide out of the wall as file drawers etc. A nice glass or
chrome table and throw rug and chrome chair finish the room.

Thanks for the reply.

Try this for an idea

RPTVs have a front surface mirror of INCREDIBLY low distortion.

Sizes will vary with brand and overall size of the RPTV, but mirror
sizes of up to 19x35 and larger are available.

The key is to approach a TV repair shop and ask them if they have old
RPTVs that customers will not pay to get fixed, that will not pay to get
them back. You offer to haul them away for no charge!! Haggle for a
low price $25 or so.

These style TVs used CRTs to project the image, and they are still sold
today although at greatly reduced numbers than before (Plasma, LCD, DLP
get all the attention these days). If you want a 40-50 inch TV today
and can only can spend $1200 for it, it will be a CRT based RPTV. If it
breaks, repair charges are a substantial fraction of the purchase price,
and people refuse to pay.
