You Should be able to connect the Smartboard to any one of the Existing
PCs. For that you need a VGA Y-Splitter cable. around $10 - $20 Bucks.
You Will also need a long USB cable to go to the SmartBoard and Long VGA
Extender cable to Go to the Projector (cost depends on Length $15 for 25").
Most Smartboards get their power from the USB Cable (look at them as Big
Mouse Pads. You Could use the Sound connected to Speakers from your PC.
there is not that much electricity usages by the projector so any extension
card would work.
Hope this Helps - Cables will be Much more pricier at a best buy or
circuit city type outlet. These are quote from local Cable companies.
