Where can I find/rent/buy for cheap a Planetarium Projector?

As a birthday present to a good friend, for whom astronomy is a life hobby, my friends and I have decided to throw a party for him. In keeping with the space theme, we thought that having some sort of planetarium projector would be a good idea. But where on Earth can I find one?

Deadline is the 29th so building it is not an ideal solution. Not to mention, we're a group of mechanically disinclined cubicle paper stampers. Some of the other ideas have been asking a local high school if we could borrow or rent, but that might not prove to be doable. Last resort is maybe to buy one, but between the cheap toy models and multi-million projectors, we're having trouble finding something in between.

So, if anyone has ANY idea where we could find a decent quality one at the right price for no more than $300, please share. Or if you have any other ideas, it would be kindly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I was looking for one myself. I was checking some of the ones on Amazon but still not sure which is of sufficient quality. I've decided instead to have my roof torn off and replace it with a glass dome.
