Projector Rental in Houston? Help!

[S-Man]

I need to rent a projector for my parents 45th anniversary on March 6, 2010.
Light Tec has them but they're $100/day.
Anyone know any other place that rents projectors?
I need to run a slideshow from my Macbook Pro.

Thanks in advance.

A hundred bucks a day seems to be the going rate. You might check some AV companies.

I don't want to sound like one of 'those people', but I find it funny how an $1800 lens can be rented from the same place for $35/day, but a projector of roughly the same value is $100/day. I guess it's like you said, the going rate.
I looked on the websites of Aaron's and Rent-a-Center, but they only have TV's/LCD's etc, no projectors.
I might ask around to some of my acquaintances to see if I can find one to borrow.

Thanks Don.

I'm still open for suggestions if anyone knows something else I don't.

No, I googled "Projector Rental Houston" and the like. Didn't think of A/V
Thanks, I'll look into those links.

An $1800.00 lens doesn't have a $400.00 bulb that only last 200 or so hours.

This is true...

I have one I will "give" you, but you have to pay shipping or come to DFW and get it.

And David, umm, interested.
