The X1600 is a pretty new card, 512Mb of onboard DDR2 ram, Shaders 2 etc, you get very good bang for your buck with it considering what I paid, it's the most noticeable jump in performance I've had between 2 video cards.
Power, however, could be a downside, since the card, like most modern cards, takes a direct power input from the PSU, I'll see if I can track down the ratings for you

Looking online i can't see any projectors for less than a few hundred, but in stores i've seen them on sale for like 150. I'd much prefer a projector ona wall or ceiling than a monitor, provided i can make the room dark easily...
