Hi there is at least one other option - we have a Planar Systems 3D setup (uses two flat screen monitors mounted at ~right angles with a semi-silvered screen between them) - you use polarised lens glasses to view the stereo. It works extremely well, but is pricey. If you have a good workshop they could probably knock up an ersatz copy for you at somewhat less than the retail price.
http://www.planar3d.com/ Their "entry level" setup is advertised at $2395 - which is probably enough to put most people off, but the stereo is *very* good.
