Computer Rentals - Denver Colorado
2008-01-23 19:13:00
Computer rentals in the Mile-High City have been a part of our daily routine since 1988. Our Tech-Travel Agents rank Denver Computer Rentals in the top 20 most requested destinations for their computer rental clients.

That order was for the rental of three fully populated racks of IBM blade servers. Not every client however has the type of project that requires that much processing power. So of course the more common Denver computer rental scenario might be desktop systems for a training class, or a LCD projector for a presentation, or even a laptop for a traveling executive who might be in town for a meeting.Our Denver computer rental inventory and our services are among the most diverse of any computer rental firm in the country.

Projector Rental Advice
2007-10-22 21:09:00
When considering your projector rental, there are many factors to consider during the decision making process. The most important factor when considering either a LCD or DLP projector rental is the brightness of your bulb.To decide what brightness you need you must take into consideration the size of the audience and the size of the viewing room. Large rooms and audiences require higher bulb strengths (measured in Lumens) to provide adequate brightness. Projector s generally come in the range of 1000 to 5000 Lumens, and the higher the lumens, the brighter the bulb.For more information on how many lumens you need see our Projector Rental Advice page and also learn about the differences between DLP and LCD Projectors.
