As I've mentioned before I'm keeping my eye out for that elusive super cheap projector that I'd be willing to use in situations where it would very probably be destroyed or stolen.   Not that I want any projector to suffer that fate, but even though I've extremely cavalier with $500 and even $2500 projectors I'll generally only do things with them that I have a pretty high expectation of them surviving and being used again.

Perhaps for some people that price point for being able to say "oh well" is higher but for me it's ~$50.   none of the above projectors have hit that mark yet but they are getting close.

I don't really want to dispose of the projectors but I imagine using them in street installations, or party installations where the likelihood of them walking away or just getting smashed is >25%. And based on my experience with occasionally killing a $50 component of a robot I think I can take that.
