Hi Greg, If you're ok with buying, City Software has one on sale for $572 on their website - http://www.citysoftware.com.au/Projector_Units.aspx You can pick it up from their store in Mt Waverly (if you select that option).
There's also a BENQ one at a city shop for $489 - http://www.tammex.com.au/store/benq-ms510-2700-ansi-svgaprojector-p-10165.html This was found via staticice - http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=projector%20state%3Avic%20price%3A300..1000&start=21&links=20&showadres=1&pos=2 Anyway, just found a "Sublime Audio Visual" place on Google, which does Projects/screen hire and are located in the East Bentleigh area. Costs start from $132 per day. http://www.sublimeav.com.au/Projectors-and-Projector-Screen-Hire-Melbourne.php Hope that helps :) Will On 14 July 2011 11:01, Stephen Price <step...@littlevoices.com> wrote: > I got an Epson from Harvey Norman for about $900.
