Roger - Most schools and universities have several they would like to get rid of. They are not used much anymore.
If that doesn't work, try ebay. I have seen several there for less than $50.

How to choose a good projector?

Answer
To determince that, we would need to identify whether it is for home theatre, or business presentation use. The next question would be what room is it going to be in and what is the ambient light level in the room when the projector is in use. For business use, you would want to look for a projector with high light output and compact size for portability. You can get something like that for about $1500 and get good results. For home theatre it is a totally different ball game. If you are building a dedicated theatre, then brightness is the least of your concerns. Look for a projector that has good black level and smooth video processing. Resolution is important, but scaling/processing and the lens of the projector impact the picture quality more than resolution at the entry level projectors. Sharp and Hitachi offer some excellent projectors at the $1500 to $4500 level. Starting at $3000(USD) you can step into the world of Runco projectors (Model CL-410). Runco is the Rolls Royce of the projector world. They make projectors up to the $250,000 range and are second to none. You should also leave room in your budget for a good screen, as that plays a big role in getting good picture. There is nothing better than Stewart Filmscreens, and they are expensive but worth every penny. They make screens that are specially made for different types of projectors(CRT/LCD/DLP, Etc) and for different levels of ambient light. For rooms with total light control, their Greyhawk fabric works well for DLP/LCD projectors. The Firehawk provides good performance when you have higher levels of ambient light. Dont get too caught up on specs, and dont buy something you can't see either, look for a specialty retailer as opposed to your local best buy, as they can provide the necessary expertise to suggest the correct screen size, placement, and screen type etc.
