I'm looking for a desktop projector to use for our local Insurance Institute meetings, usually 20-30 people in a classroom type environment. Anybody got any recommendations for a good one that's value for money?

We have 2 dell projectors and I have been happy with both of them.

One is 8 years or older and never had the bulb replaced and been to many after hours video game parties.

Ive had good luck with the Epsons I get at Staples, although I had one fail but not sure exactly why it failed. The other one I have is still doing fine.

I used to buy Infocus and they may still be considered the cadillac, but I had issues with all of them (light pipe failure) and I dont feel they're worth the premium price.

I'm still a InFocus guy and have never had any problems with them.  Which also means that I haven't had to purchase another one.  I do have a smaller Dell that we use for meetings, etc. that works quite well.  think I may have replaced a bulb in that one, but I can't say for sure if it burned our or was damaged somehow.  Only thing with the Dell projector is the "leg" or "stand" broke and is now taped together.  but that could simply be from use/abuse.
