Add in another $50 for a SATA to SD adaptor, an 8 gig card, and a few other bits...
Once you put a PC in a projector, you have monitoring ability of temp, current, or whatever else I haven't learned about yet...
you get reliability, distance (100's of feet) and bandwidth (gigabit) in an easy-to-manage, cheap wire.
