Geforce FX is a card I would never touch. I got a better look at one today, and that heatsink is obscene. Given the operating temperature, the heat that thing puts out must be immense. If you lose the fan your probably going to lose the entire card very quickly. And the noise is a bit much as well. It does have a variable fan though, so it will be quiet enough when not gaming.

Use a TV as secondary display - but only if you want to produce stuff for display on a TV screen. TV resolution and picture sharpness are both vastly inferior to a SVGA monitor - its just designed for a different purpose. If you actualy want to work with the secondary, get a proper monitor.
