[AG-TECH] rear projection display

[Robert Callaway]

Hi all,

I'm currently in the planning stages for an Access Grid at the 
University of California, Santa Barbara. I really like the idea of using 
a rear projection system for the room, but space is limited. I have 
looked into different options, such as using mirrors or short throw 
lenses to decrease the distance needed. I'm curious if anyone could 
offer any specific recommendations on rear projection equipment that 
they have been happy with (ie. projectors, screens, and lenses). I am  
particularly interested if  anyone has  information  on a projection 
system  with  a  short  throw lens that is economical (under $5000).

Thanks,
Rob
