I'm not sure what you guys are spending for your beamers, but Bizliquidation.com and govliquidation.com have great deals. I just got my third for 150.00. OF course they don't all match but I have only spent 375.00 for three projectors, I am recycling of course, and it frees up more money for other used goodies.
I spent AUD$2,300 on a new High Definition Epson EMP-TW600 with a spare globe and it is used for dual purpose. My sim is down one end of a 6 metre games room and the other side of the sims projector screen is also our home theatre screen for watching movies. It's just a quick switch on the image reverse function and I also use the sims sound system, this works really good. It also helped me convince the missus that the spend was a good idea! The kids love the big picture and we limit the use to one movie a week to conserve lamp hours.

ak49er,
Thanks for the lead. I'd be a bit leery of a surplus projector though... since the bulbs alone typically are 1/3 to half the price of the units. Sounds like you lucked out though....which is great.
The Epson Powerlite 77C I mentioned above is $599 direct from Epson at this point. The one I actually bought, the Viewsonic PJ358 (for the short throw capabilities), is $799 from Newegg. I could have gotten it about $100 cheaper online elsewhere... but the lower price was from some really "no name" type places. I was worried that what I would get would be a re-box, a repair/refurbish, or a scratch / dent from tham. I have dealt with NewEgg before and they are top notch.
But thanks for trying to save me some money. ;)
best,

Hi guys,
Just to drop my two cents on this one. I recently purchased a Viewsonic PJ458D, and I'm more than happy with it. It uses DLP tech, and as such care has to be taken to be sure the "rainbow effect" won't be a problem. The unit is also quite small and light (good for business use).
Thought it could help someone.
PS: It also works great for watching movies!!
PS2: I bought mine from Tigerdirect.com, and was quite well priced too (around $680). XVGA resolution (1024x768).
