That's much better than the first setup you found. I think for a smaller LCD that 250w setup would be fine, but if you plan to use a large (15" or bigger) LCD panel then you may want to locate a 400w kit instead.

would this be better?:

all you need is a ballast and a bulb .. then thats fine ... but the bulb wont be all that great so yall have to go get another 400watt metal halid bulb with the right color temp,price, lifespan etc etc etc
