You need two PCIe power connectors on your power supply. Either that or you mean that it takes up the PCIe slot and another space on the backing plate.
I'm pretty sure the OP was looking for a half height video card. You aren't going to get a modern graphics card to play games in a low profile variety. If you need gaming then a super slim tower or box type Mini ATX case would allow you to use full size components and they aren't too large either. I have a Silverstone box type Mini ATX type case and it looks great next to the rest of my AV gear and contains a Q6600 and an ATi 4870.
In it's simplest form this means that you would need a splitter box for both consoles. These would then be fed into the projector and displays and you would need to switch the inputs to see what's going on (that or two projectors). I don't think you can do it any other way unless you can have a third console and spectate the game and output that consoles feed to the projector. I guess this would give you control over what you are seeing on the battlefield but not from the players' perspective.
Give Apple a call when they are open or take it to your nearest Apple Store if there is one nearby. As you have damaged it yourself, even though it was an accident, they will probably charge you to repair it. I doubt it will be an onsite repair either so you might be without a phone for a while unless you can rent a replacement from Apple in the meantime.
I concur with Brian, it really does sound like an overheating problem. If the device is still under warranty then send it back, if not Microsoft have a 3 year warranty on failures related to the 3 red lights, RROD etc so might be worth giving them a call.
How long have you left it before you quit the installer? Thebettafish(great fish btw lol) has probably got the right idea. Make sure that all services pertaining to Apple are stopped before installing. Also try running the installer as Administrator.
