Also, how's the 22" NEC working out? I have a tossup to choose from but I think the 19" viewsonic should be sufficient... | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 16 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 16 | embarrassing is-
$250 -for original crappy computer that i got some of the parts from.
$150 - new video card
$700 -for new case, motherboard, processor, hard drive, RAM
$90 -DELL monitor
$145 -22" NEC monitor
$90 - another stick of RAM
$50 - video capture card (forgot to mention)
$30 - 5.1 surround sound card
=$1270 big ones
also, the 22" is sweet, its kinda fuzzy, but i like to run it at 1800X1440 and the 17" at 1600X1200. i got my 22" used from a local shop who was having a sale. it kinda makes games look crappy at 800X600, but as long as you can pump it higher, its glorious.

The ram also has it's own copper heatsink anyway (actually I think it may be aluminum)...

All these U2 Zealots remind me of a girl I go to school with oddly enough.
For School I just run my Compaq Presario that I added a DVD Rom drive. I mostly use it to type up homework and stuff so I don't need all that much flash atm. Only got 200mb of ram but I can run OpenOffice and Gimp without any problems and still watch DVD's. I'd like a TV Tuner Card or something that I can use to hook my Laserdisc player into. For sound I have my comp hooked into my kick [censored] stereo system with Cambridge Soundworks speakers and I'm thinking about hooking my Police Scanner and my Shortwave radio to it.
