[dorkbotsea-blabber] Projector to loan to dorkbot?

[Ian Page-Echols]

Depending on how much you are having to reimburse someone, it might  
make more sense to buy one.

Here are a few searches on pricewatch, for comparison:
http://www.pricewatch.com/projectors/dlp.htm
http://www.pricewatch.com/projectors/2000_lumens.htm
http://www.pricewatch.com/projectors/svga.htm

That said, I don't think I will be needing mine in that time period.   
It does 800x600 for computer, plugs into most things, no hdmi or  
anything shmancy.  S-Video, RCA jacks, and VGA port.  120 lumen.  It's  
pretty decent, I use it for visuals at smaller venues and it's worked  
fine.  Mine will do keystoning vertically (so the projector can be at  
any height, but even across from the projected surface), horizontal  
keystoning is usually a $1500 or more feature, but then you can have  
the projector at weird angles from the projected surface and still  
make the picture look fine.
