Seeking: projector, lamp, pullup bar...

Yeah, while I'm looking thru Craigslist i figure I'll post here too:
I'd like to replace my old digital projector with a more reliable one (at least 1100 lumens or more, and weigh 5.7 lbs or less)
Also I could use some standing lamps.
And one of those chin-up/pull-up bars that you don't have to screw into a wall, they just brace themselves.
Lemme know! I know that I'm missing out on Lach's apartment sale this weekend, since I'll be out of town...

Projector
Looking for projectors is a *total* pain in the arse.
A million models, a million weird acronyms, etc.
I looked through an article that listed the best travel projectors from 2008/9, and then set up a saved search on ebay (If you don't know how to do this, it's simply awesome). I picked up a Viewsonic PJ538 (2000 Lumens, LCD, 4 lbs) with about 25 hours on it for $200 and change.
It's a wide throw, so it needs to be close to the projected surface, but it's great for me.
I strongly suggest finding the model you want (argg), and then setting up a saved search. Even if you get one, you can leave the search running and lowball a backup over a period of time.
Features like being able to project from an SD or compact flash card would seem to be totally awesome for you, as then it could operate without a computer.
If mine sounds interesting, but you'd like to see it in action just lemme know.
Jeff, email me.
I'll hook you up with a pull-up bar that latches over the door frame.
Just make sure you have the right kind of door frame.
