I second Ray's recommendation of Bulbophyllums, I grow a lot of Bulbo species in my windowsills and many of them are very forgiving. I also grow a number of nobile-type Dendrobiums and smaller Cattleyas and relatives.
Certainly pay a visit to Carter and Holmes; it's a lot of fun for a plant-lover and well worth an hour's drive just to see the place. They have a large selection of species and hybrids (many of which they've bred themselves) and will definitely be able to steer you to some easy but rewarding selections.
