If you're looking for an affordable projector or the foundation for a capable, do-it-yourself computer, TigerDirect.ca has some offers that might be of interest:

• First up is the Optoma EP749 2500 Lumens XGA DLP Projector (1024x768. 4.4 lb) for $599.99
• Second is the PCChips A13G+ Socket AM2 Barebone Kit w/ AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.30GHz processor, 200GB IDE hard drive, DVD±RW, 1GB RAM, ATX Mid-Tower Case, and 450 Watt Power Supply for $199.99. Note that the kit does not include a heatsink/fan for the processor.

Of the two deals, we like the barebone kit the most. For $200 with no rebates, you're only a heatsink/fan, an operating system, and perhaps some additional RAM away from a system that will be able to take care of run of the mill computer needs with great ease. Don't forget, through the end of May, TigerDirect.ca is also offering free shipping on orders over $99 and under 50lbs.
