I have one of those that projects the time onto the ceiling. Love it!
it was my wifes alarm clock and she left it on her side of the bed when she left me. i started using it a couple of months ago and it works perfectly, too perfectly for my liking. nothing subtle about it as the radio doesnt get a reception so i have to have the loud and harsh beeping. it does have a snooze button which is good, but the readout is so bright i have to have it pushed against the wall. i think it was the equivalent of less than $10 and does what i need it to do.
