Q. Hello, I'm a current member of the Salvation Army. Giving us over hundreds of hours of community service, we feel that out youth group/ drama team has done a great job this year, and for this reason, we would like to reward them with a classroom they can have all for themselves for anything they want to do. in this classroom, we would like to put a projector which they can use to watch their favorite movies(cinema style). One of our church members claims to know how to make screens for the projection to be displayed on, but for this, we need to buy the projector first. We are currently looking for a good, respectable projector (preferably under $300) that can be utilized for this purpose. the problem is that we are not sure what to buy, or what to look for, so im posting this to see if you guys can aid us with this issue :).. we are also looking for a good home theater system, if you could help us with this as well, it would be great.
If you happen to have a spare protector or home theater system sitting at home doing nothing and would like to donate it, please contact me at estebanpoc@hotmail.com, or please call me at (540)514-9498. thank you for your help.

A good projector for $300 in the USA is going to be tough. Here is one for $400:

My only advice is to stick with known name brands - avoid the super cheap ones made by brands no one has ever heard of.
For sound, a nice simple stereo receiver and a pair of decent speakers will work fine. Surround sound is greatly overrated.

An "Uplifting" one? Sorry, couldn't resist.
Seriously, what do you mean by "desktop"? You can put a projector on almost anything with a hard surface (soft ones risk compromising cooling) that is in the right location. The issue with projectors is that they have a (more or less) fixed geometry for how they "throw" the image. While you can often mount hem on a desk or table, suspend from the ceiling upside down or put on a shelf on a wall at the back of the room, flexibility is determined by the zoom range of the lens, the offset adjustment flexibility, the optical design, the size of image required, and the location of the screen. Some projectors (mainly basic DLP models) have very limited mounting flexibility. That said, other than that the surface they sit on should be strong enough to support the weight there is little limitation. Consideration will usually relate to how permanent an installation you intend, and sightlines to be sure no-one blocks the projected image.
