I am about to purchase a Barco DP 2000 with a server and 12months warranty for about $14k. Some here discouraged me.. many others said to look outbfor a couple of things. I currently use NeoDcp and I need to be DCI compliant to meet customers demands here in Nigeira. Anyone with an offer for me That fits into this price for a screen as small as 2.8M/3.7M. 29ft throw distance.

For a small screen like this, you should try to get an UHP based projector, like a NEC NC900, Barco DP2K-6E or DP2K-8Sx (xenon). The NC900 has been sold over the last 6-7 years, and occasionally can be bought second hand for less than what you have been offered the DP2000 (incl. server). However, of course, you'd have to wait for one to show up.

I guess you should put this request in the "Equipment and Supplies Wanted/For Sale" sub-forum on this site.

I also think you should indicate that you accept offers from other countries than just countries within your neighborhood.
