Contact your meeting location and see how much they charge to provide the equipment for you. Ask them if setup is included in the cost of the meeting room if you bring it with you. Make note of the price without making any commitment. If your meeting location doesn't have the equipment, ask them for a list of recommended vendors.

Check a local Internet site like Yahoo! Local for a list of projector rental companies in Chicago. The great thing about these sites is you can see all the vendors on a map and can determine which one is the closest to where you will be. Call them all individually even if they have websites and see what their prices are. See the Resources section below for Yahoo! Local's picks as well as links to websites of a couple of Chicago-based companies.
