====== Projector ======

The lab hasn't had a projector since the member that was loaning one left for pastures new. Quite a few workshops could benefit from a projector, and it's pretty much expected for guest talks etc. Also will allow us to do some Movie nights.

===== Requirements =====

  * XGA (1024×768) or better
  * Bright enough to use in day light (we do have blackout blinds that we could pull down) 2400 Lumens should be enough
  * Availability of replacement lamps
  * 15 pin VGA + (other Inputs)

Something like [[http://www.ebuyer.com/244204|Optoma HD600X-LV]] looks like a good model.

The screen in front of the wall logo is 150cm wide x 120cm high. The distance from the screen to the shelve on the workbench (a natural location out of the way) is 6m so this is probably a bit of stretch with a standard lens. Alternatively it could be ceiling mounted without much trouble.

===== Budget =====

Estimate £350 including VAT + Delivery

===== Pledges =====

The current financial situation means that paying for the full cost of a projector from general hacklab funds isn't sensible. Therefore a pledge has been started. If you would like to contribute please add your name and amount below.

  * Alex S - £50 - **Paid**
  * Gareth - £50
  * Peter - £100 - **Paid**
  * Martin - £30 - **Paid**
  * AL - £20
  * Gary - £50 - **Paid**
  * Tom L - £50 - **Paid**

Total: £350 : funded

===== coffee supply =====
  * Jane - £25 <- how is this related to the projector? The projector was already fully funded by the time I heard about the project. I was wondering what would be needed in additional. The projector is most likely be used in a workshop were the Hacklab would offer coffee. Therefor coffee supply.
